Inspired or Foolish?

INSPIRED OR FOOLISH

When there's no surf I seem to have time on my hands and with little else to do before work I thought "Why not?"

The weather was out of the blue with a warm sunny and very welcome unseasonal 18 degrees!! That combined with some recent inspiration from a variety of sources including;

1. seeing a picture of Ian, a friend from uni days, competing in the Wanaka Half Ironman,
   
2. some students commenting on my 'soft' waistline,
   
3. a work colleague doing the hard yards on his bike, and
   
4. a television commercial depicting a self conscious middle-aged man sucking his guts in in a gym locker

All of which was enough to get me off my butt. It has been ages since I last went for a run...and it told

8.6km (approx) and 46:45mins later and I might regret that impulse.

BTW, check out this cool website which allows you to plot trips and calculates the distances for you. It's awesome for runners and the like FREEMAPTOOLS
