Oh what a beautiful morning...

Late last night, I let my beloved into a deep, dark secret - I wasn't going to accompany her on her "8km hard effort on hills" run this morning. Instead, I remained in bed while she braved the cold and the steep. I've come to the conclusion that I am the proud possessor of just one niggle, but it keeps moving from location to location to keep me on (or off, as the case may be) my toes. Right now, it's taken up residence in my left groin, and the only time that I notice it is when I lift my leg up in front of me (like putting on a shoe) or when I run hard. Somehow, I think that 8km of hills just might have put me out of circulation for a little while.

Talking to Tim (freespirit) last week, he said that the reason that I have these niggles is because my legs aren't strong enough and that I should join a Gym and get working. Part of me says "Of course I'm strong. I'm a bloke, and all blokes are intrinsically strong", while the other part says "Nah, you're weak, and getting strong would be just too much hard work. Might as well forget it". Right now, the latter voice is winning, probably because I hate gyms. I belonged to one for a year, once, and found it totally repetitive and dispiriting. I wonder if there are any programs of leg exercises that you can do at home...? I wonder if I would bother if there was...?
