So the Runnings been going well,
I've found Running in public is a great incentive to do well, for a few reasons.
1)The moment you overtake someone on the pavement you've committed to sprinting the next 500 mtrs. Only sheer embarrassment comes from sprinting past a yummy mummy with a pram, only to be over taken by her 200 mtrs down the road while you grip onto a lamp post for support, red faced and dying.
2) Generally if your in Lewisham, practicing running is always a good thing. After watching Crime Watch on tv where they "busted" a house down the road from me, it looks like the criminals round here are fairly fast. I would prefer to be the faster runner.
3) The lovely technology in my shoe tells all my Facebook friends just how long its taken me to slog out a few miles. Even when your headphones get caught on the front gate and it took 5 minutes to run 2 metres. I did use a train to average this time back up, so did 3 Kilometers in a few minutes: Nike+ has my weight on their system, so told me not to be silly and didn't include it.
Not long till I can fit into the Special K swimsuit!
