On The Run...

erm.. I know that I'm a bit of a lazy oaf right now but are all my friends ganging up on me?

First on MSN- Friday I think.. Rach " I just went for a run.."

Then Sunday- Luce "I went for a run yesterday"

Then I just check Michael's blog and yes: HE'S BEEN FOR RUN!!!

I KNOW FOLKS!! I KNOW I NEED TO EXERCISE!! THERE IS NO NEED TO RUB IT IN!! (I know my response should be to go and do a half marathon but given that wlaking up stairs makes my heart feel like its being crushed I may leave it.. ) bloomin gloaters..

Yep, we had a "lets go running to make Jude feel bad" conference.

Hmm.

Would it make you feel better if I said now "I went for a run on Friday and my back and shoulders still ache today"?

i really think exercise is overrated, and your response to all these people should be:

"you fools! how can pained exertion possibly be good for you!? look at your noisy wheezing and silly red faces! - and I bet you no longer appreciate the glories of cake, either!"

those of us who do no exercise should be confident in our moral superiority and not be oppressed by those who deliberately go out to look and sound ridiculous, all for the sake of "health".
we all know good health is achieved by a good diet - a proper balance of sweet (cake, chocolate etc) and savoury (courgette perhaps), balancing out those negative calories with positive ones... (making chocolate courgette cake totally calorie neutral, for example).

A friend of mine recently reminded me of this quote:

"Jogging is for people who aren't intelligent enough to watch breakfast television" - Victoria Wood

If you don't fancy jogging, play frisbee instead. It's far more sociable!

feeling bad too. just filled out a health questionairre attached to a job application that made you circle the number of hours you exercise a day that makes you out of breath. was forced to circle "less than 1" and felt like i should be on some reality show called "FAT CLUB: The 20-Somethings"
Where do these people find the time to exercise??? I don't know about anyone else but I work 8 hours a day, travel 2, and the rest of the time I'm eating, pooing or washing...

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
