Mileage 5 - Time 40 mins; Weekly mileage 11 miles
Up early doors today due to massively long day at work and tonight doing the Gaucho Polo at the 02. Should be fun, but meant an early doors run which if i'm being honest, i find rather tough. As usually when i wake up, i have about as much energy as a Duracel Bunny with M.E. on empty.
Today i dragged my arse along the Thames path from Barnes to Putney. The sun was out and it was peaceful, save for some ultra keen rowers and dog walkers. it was a nice gentle start to the day and so nice to be near water at the start of the day.
Bad diet last night meant today was a bit of a struggle. Work passed in a blur and then went to the 02 in the afternoon, as my company were sponsoring the Irish Polo team. Posh lunch with them at Gaucho, i learnt all about Polo. I even sounded like i knew what the hell i was talking about after downloading all the inside info from them. 3 players, 4 chuckers, 6 minutes each blah blah zzzzzzz.
VIP lounge was pretty dull, Katie Price the resident Celeb, and in she swanned for the Paps as i was welcoming our guests. Strange life celebrity. I suppose fame and attention is like another addiction, and you crave it. Still, i was distinctly underwhelmed, and smiled at her pretty boy boyfriend as he followed in her shadow like a faithful little lapdog. Not good for the man pride i wouldn't have thought. He may as well have been wearing a Man bag too.
Had a good night though, enjoyed the event. Packed full of fit women, so many sloany types around too. it was almost the opposite of Asda Llanelli. Even the MC was called Tarquin. I can't help but think MC Asda Llanelli would have made a better job of it.
Still, 5 mile run, busy day and great event at the 02. Not a bad day i suppose
