Day 10: 39% Complete
Today I decided to take myself on a run around Roundhay Park in the lovely city of Leeds. It is a picturesque, man made, lake which was built after a war to give the soldiers something to do... or something along those lines.
Running outside isn't something I do often due to the delights which are shin splints. I endeavour to get myself out, on occasion, as the air conditioning at the gym is more akin to heating.
There were some rather strange folk cavorting around the lake, when I have my headphones in I tend to imagine what sort of conversations they might be having. There were two teenagers with babies who were definitely advocating the use of Durex and then there was a woman who still had her work neckpass on who looked like she would definitely rather still be at work than feeding the greedy Canadian geese with her two unruly, but angelic, children.
There was a boy who drowned in the lake a couple of years ago and it appears to have been his birthday recently as there were some flowers and cards left by the memorial stones, it always makes me sad to think someone drowned in a lake that has no visible current or depth.
Anyway, day 10 of exercise and I'm seeing no signs of change just yet but I shall be cycling to and from work tomorrow which will be a 10 mile journey, plus some walking at lunchtime and sushi to eat for lunch. Excellent.
