good stuff

As I wrote on Andrew’s blog the other day, I’m really enjoying running at the moment. It’s nice to run just for the pleasure of the thing, and without that sense of dread and panic a marathon always gives you.

It helps that 42.195k at just over 4 minute ks seems to have done something to the muscle memory in my legs. 15kph just seems really comfortable at the moment.

Last night I did my usual 13k course around the streets near my house. It’s a bit up, a bit down, and pretty flat and fast for the last 4k. As usual, I lifted the pace towards the end.

V. enjoyable.

It’s 29 degrees in Melbourne today, so I’ll give the running a miss. I can do that: there’s no nasty training program telling me what to do. Yippee.

Spam update
The spammer brigade have risen to the challenge and sent me a whole new set of special messages over night:

“2400 S USE” tells me “deposits are made safely and securely”, which I take as a fairly straightforward “give me your credit card details and I’ll take all you money” scam. No thanks.

“Visit USA Casino” has a very enticing offer: “Win $$$ instead of throwing it away at all those other online casinos”.

What? Do you mean “Royal VIP Casino, where everybody is king” isn’t legit? Say it ain’t so….

I can’t keep up.

“Gaspar Ferrez” tells me I’m gorgeous. “That was amazing, how many orgasms did I have?” How would I know Gaspar? I’m a man. Anyway, seeing as I’ve never met you, I have a sneaking suspicion you faked it.

Which reminds me of a terrible joke; clearly not suitable for a family friendly environment like this.

It’s all too confusing. Thank God/Google for gmail’s spam folder.
