Friday 21 May 2010: It's Frday night and I am going to party... well sleep on the sofa

Mileage: 0 miles

I hate writing zero miles! It's so not me.

Today I've had a very rare day off and a night to myself and true to the rock and roll lifestyle of an endurance runner tapering for a race, I spent it eating, drinking pints of water and sleeping on the sofa cuddled up with the dog. I even managed to sleep through the last ever episode of Ashes to Ashes. Not to worry though I don't watch that programme. I sometimes wonder what ever happened to the Richard Meade who would never let a Friday night pass without a visit to the pub, 10 pints, several Jack and Cokes and a visit to a random Edinburgh night club till 3am. I have to admit, I don't miss him, well not too often. I've enjoyed tonight and after writing this I've got the excitement of watching the last episode of Season 2 of Fringe.  I do watch that programme. 

I know some of you are keen for a progress update, as I have been asked by more than one person (two to be precise!), on the man flu and I am pleased to report that it is a lot better. I am just down to a good sniffle and a bit of congestion. Hopefully another good night's sleep and a rest day tomorrow and I will be fit and raring to go on Sunday. I really hope tomorrow will be the last reference to man-flu for some time, I am sure you do too!

Tomorrow is going to be about as exciting as tonight. I've got to sit in from 7am to 3pm and wait for the delivery of my new Netbook and digital camera. I hate sitting about and with a glorious day promised by the weather girl I'll just want to be outside! It's going to be bad enough that I'll have to limit myself to a 2 mile run with some strides, but not been able to take Jack out for a long walk until the mid afternoon is going to be tough too. I think I'll take him to the beach again when I do get out. 

Just a brief blog tonight, as there's clearly not much for me to say or report on. Tomorrow, I am going to blog a bit about my fundraising efforts and where I am with them. Hopefully some of you might have some ideas or contacts that could help me with my fundraising so blog in and checkout my ideas.

Anyway, hope you've all had as good a Friday night as I have.
