new picture

I don’t know if you were one of the readers of my blog a few weeks ago when I discussed buying a pair of Skins. My reasoning at the time was that “it’ll make me look damn sexy.”

Now, I know that’s one of the more ridiculous assertions in living memory, too stupid even for the internet. What’s more, as it turns out, it’s completely unnecessary.

What am I on about? Not sure, let me gather my thoughts…. Ah yes, that was it.

Have you noticed there’s a new picture on my profile? Up there on the right of screen? Yep, that’s the one - me at the beach sometime last year.

In the interests of keeping a standardised visual style across all marketing channels (I don’t know what that means either) I put that picture on my facebook profile too. (If you don’t know what facebook is, lucky you.)

Well, anyway, it’s been a bit of hit, at least on facebook. Going by the comments I’ve received, it turns out I am sexy or, in the correct parlance,”hot”. Although, the picture only seems to work its magic on the male half of the species, thanks “Peter Gilfillan”.

Sadly for Peter, I’m married and not at all interested. Also, that photo was taken before 12 months of sleeplessness and marathon training robbed my skin of its youthful elasticity and my face of its ruddy good cheer.

Running
Another Saturday arvo long run last weekend. Regular readers will know I’m not a fan of the afternoon long run, particularly when it crosses into night-time. But, this is a cross I have to bear, boom, boom.

33k, including 3 laps of the effin’ Mullum Mullum creek trail and half a dozen strides at the end, for no other reason than blatant self-hatred. Ah, well, the things we do.
