It's the football world cup at the weekend - Sunday I think - where France will beat Argentina. The reason I mention this is that my interest in football is passing at best, and although I can join in laddish conversations about certain things, footy is not my area of expertise so try and stay on the peripherals of this sort of thing. However, when the world cup comes around, I find myself drawn into the intricacies of team selection and what formation is best to beat team X, ..but only if it involves the national team. So what does this prove? that I'm a diehard xenophobe? ..or too nationalistic? I'm not sure really, just that I like to support my local team, no matter how detached I am from them. I even cheer for the Scottish curling team at the Winter Olympics.
I've managed 3 early morning runs this week - 21 miles in total. It has been quite a cold week with minus temperatures for most of the time. It was minus 5 yesterday morning, but luckily no wind to speak of so I didn't need to get my tracksters out to replace the shorts. I did have 4 layers on my upper body though.
