Friday foughts

Another day, another 10 minutes to while (wile?) away.  It's Friday, so thoughts turn to the weekend.  We're baby sitting for daughter number 3 tonight, well, not for her, but for her children.  2 of them whilst mum and dad enjoy themselves at some ball or other at Forest Pines.  I don't suppose they will be back until well midnight or so, so I had better take my glasses and a magazine - I don't expect much on the TV.  As it happens (now the, now then) we are not doing much this weekend which makes a change so I might get out on my bike both days.  We have a family meal booked for Sunday lunch but that should not interfere much.  My mother is coming along (which is a rarity) so at least we'll be treated to some add views on things.
Talking of biking, it's so dark in the evenings I can't see me getting out at all furing the week.  Not sure I want to chance it in the dark although I've got some decent lights and a reflective jacket.  I've done a couple of runs this week as well as 1500m last night in the pool.  I should try and get some early morning exercise in, but despite me thinking I'm a 'morning person' (see earlier entry), I'm no good in the mornings for that sort of stuff, I just can't get motivated.  I must remember to take that triathlon traiing book to Sophes tonight, there must be some tips in there for cramming exercising in.
It's interesting how you can read a book expecting it to help you do something that is totally in your hands e.g. running at 6 in the morning.  How the heck can any book motivate you to get out in the freezing cold dark, damp morning just to get a bit fitter.  I'll read it anyway, just in case.
Thinking about it, if I go out at 6, get say, 5 miles in which takes me around 40 mins, warm up/down for 15 mins, I'll not get out the house until afer 7, so I have to actually get out at about 5.45 whcih means getting up at at least 5.30 to get dressed, make my sandwiches etc (if required).  Hmmm, no wonder I don't do it.
