What to do in CT when you have a new car and it rains all day?

C • Car?!? 6

Ali C is a huge inspiration. I have never seen anyone decide that they are going to do something, and just get it done in such a systematic and determined way. This week has already been a huge success, no matter what happens for the rest of the week.

I, on the other hand, can't even figure out what I might want, never mind take the action to go get it. I'm utterly exhausted right now, which for once isn't a function of overtraining, but constant mental stress. Once these last few weeks in this situation are done (22 days to go!) I need to figure that out, and do it. Until then, I am going to see any exercise I do as a bonus, and make sure I take any opportunity I can to chill out.

Anyone got any ideas for cool aims? Fun races for the autumn?

Bleurgh. Raining all day, which was actually the most fun part of this run. Very novel to get wet from something other than your own sweat. Unfortunately I felt like I was going to vom the whole way round, and had to keep stopping to ensure I didn't. Downhills were especially challenging.

Ah well. You can't win em all. It was also "cold" today - 21oC. Did feel chilly at the start in the rain though.
