another month

i am wondering how to boost my enthusiasim these days, i reckon a little sunlight might help, or maybe the bird singing for spring , that always makes me smile, maybe the smell or new plants in the glasshouse and the change of colour in the grass. A few months yet before the trees turn green and nights get short . Now i started running last year bout this time and now after off and on kept it up, now suitably attired in lycra much to the horror of the mirror i look at , looking like a cyclist without the bike and funny thick bit on the bum . The high viss yellow makes it even more annoying for the cars who now can see me between there mobile phone texting . invaribly running is boring and having not mastered my ipod the same 3 songs become repetitive and one of my ears must be funny shape due to fact little earphone falls out . well where does this running talk lead to ,, sore knees and hips at moment and whether glucosamine works or not i forget to take it half the time , my 2 mile runs are now 4 miles going on 5 with a 7.5mile done recently , im keen to run 10 but whether or not i should build to this or just battle on with my runing partner im unsure , im tending to think training but treadmill training is mighty boring albeit we have our own, but running looking at urself in a mirror seems to make 1km seem like 1mile and god forbid ever running more than 40 mins on one , i did try and run backwards to break the routine , not a good idea and now im thinking if it possible to skip on one , needless to say i will let u know . another downside of running is the hills , but on the + side what u run up always means a run down on way home or if u do it in reverse then the opposite applies . Various methods of tackling hills have been tested , but i have to say chit chat is generally a no ... breathing is hard enough although "i spy" would work. i am rabbling on due to the fact im not going on holiday tomorrow but mrs is........... and i cant sleep . also i do apoligise for spelling ect ... what u read is what u get.. its me with my midnight brain . on a final note i must thank my running partner for putting up with my plodding along and general chit chat , i have to conclude that without her my first 10km would not have been run and my goal of half marathon not comtemplated. My 2 mile runs would still be 2 miles , so thank you k for pushing that extra mile.
