To Odette:
Oi, Miss Jogger's nipples. There's a midnight run in a couple of weeks on one of the main streets in Bangkok. It's 6k on a flat course, with a police escort. No doubt they'll extort 300 Baht from all the expats for running in the wrong lane, ho ho. Do you think I should have a go? I just did 5k in the gym no problem, mostly uphill. Might give it a go. There's a 12k event too but that's for serious types with more vaseline than sense.
Did you buy a horse by the way?
Be good.
Dear Russell,
ReplyDeleteFortunately I dont suffer from Joggers nipples ... LOL !!! I really think you should do the 6km. It will take you about 30-35 minutes and it will be fantastic if there is no traffic ... (I do it in 42 min with traffice lights etc so you can easily top that).
I suggest you start right in front as Im worried about you being run over by a yellow river of humanity ... tee hee. That may mean you will be in the wrong lane and possibly not have a clue where to run to but its a great incentive for being in front.
12km is not a problem at all - its like 6km with a sting in the tail and will require serious eating the day before. Chicken & rice ... dont worry about the salad ... who are we fooling anyway?
There is some fantastic lubes on sale but have you tried sticking a micropore plaster over your nipples instead of vaseline. The shop might sell you tiger balm which has more interesting uses ... LOL !!!
Sadly I didnt buy a horse but I could have bought dozens of them ... Im terribly depressed now ... I really want a horse.
My daughter Claire is so lucky - her boss has just bought her a new horse - fresh off the track so he is a bit of a mess but she is going to do 3 phase with him - lucky girl. He sold for 400 000 at the yearling sales and raced 3 x but wasnt very good so they got him at a bargin price.
Our other horse is doing beautifully - as can be seen from the pics. She still has the foal who is only 2.5 yrs old and will be backed in 18 months ... ah I could weep for missing them all.
I stopped running for 3 weeks but am starting again - I miss it - in an odd way :-)
You take care and let me know how it goes.
BTW - I need to find a man ... life is too boring !!! LOL !!!
Take care and let me know.
Hugz ...
Oops ... sorry I didnt reply sooner - was in Donegal and going back there tomorrow morning. Ah the wilds of Donegal ...
ReplyDeleteNowt but sheeps and rocks and rocks that look likes sheeps !!!
Jeez woman, so much booty going to waste. Get a bloke off the internet or something. They're two a penny. More sensibly, you could wait till you hit the UK and pick one up at Tesco's.
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking about the midnight 6k. The problem is, I'm so busy at work that I have no time for enjoying myself.
Dear Russell,
ReplyDeleteI found a dating website for UK FARMERS... LOL !!! That could solve a whole raft of problems for me ... ha ha ha
A midnight run would be fantastic as everything is surreal in the street lights ... just dont fall over the signs and you will be fine ... tee hee
Have a great day ... Mr Grumpy ...xxx
