    Rant:
    People who have been telling me every single time I've met them over the last 8 years that I've lost a lot of weight and could do with putting on a bit. Yes, make yourself feel better about your obesity by telling me that I'm too skinny, that's it.
    Rant Over.

    Drove to a nearby trail entrance this morning to do a nice hill run. The entrance was deserted but there was a sign up which said Firearms in Use. No Entry. On one hand fair play to the hunters doing the right thing and putting the signs out as they should but wtf who does hunting on a Sunday morning on a public amenity? For all I know the signs could be up for the entire weekend. I mean who polices this stuff anyway. :mad::mad::mad:

    On the other hand I've plenty of other route options down my way so it wasn't the worse thing ever.

    Fair play for going out for a run anyway. I got up at 10:30 and made breakfast burritos. Yum. Lying on the sofa now, can't move. No energy to have a rant at anything.

    Dodging bullets would be good motivation to run faster though ;)

    If Kurt was with me I might have gone. 2 targets would divide their attention.

    I could lend him an antler hat I've specially made :)

    I got that before when my hr was lower than normal. I was told I was very fit, and sure shouldn't I be delighted? No consideration for the fact that I know this it was not normal for me!

    That's why I think it's better (but not always possible I know) to deal with a doctor who has some history in sport or running. My doctor runs himself so knows all the issues that can occur when you're training.

    Hate it when people can't understand why I'd go running in the rain. Like today its a bit misty out, nothing to heavy and they couldn't get over the fact that I'd run in it. Sure might aswell not bother doing my 7 miles tonight so in case I get wet, I'd be better off planked on the couch watching TV and eating biscuits instead.

    Bus W*nkers

    They spread out from the bus shelter every morning blocking the whole footpath and then to add insult to injury they stick their arm out to hail the bus and clothesline me after I've already taken my life in my hands by jumping into the bus lane to avoid them.

    At least it's only in the mornings.

    Falafel for lunch, a bit generous with the garlic mayo, belched and heartburned my way around 10 miles this evening.

    Poor grammar is a pet peeve of mine (See thread title).

    Text talk on internet forums is another. How much precious time does it take to type the whole four letter word rather than an abbreviated two character version? (Again see thread title).

    Technically, the grammar is fine. It's the spelling, punctuation, capitalization and text speak that is at fault. My pet peeve is grammar-nazis. :)

    Prelude to Rant: I've struggled with niggling injuries. Work commitments limit my training time. I've adopted a very conservative training strategy based on the Galloway method that keeps me relatively injury free, gets me through marathons with small improvements to my pb and gives a much better recovery (and time) than when I ran the whole way. I walk 30secs every five minutes. I train that way. It took a bit of getting used to but it works for me.

    Rant: Dear Fat Spectator, don't freaking yell at me at mile 19 or so "C'mon, a gentle jog is better, a gentle JOG is better, RED BELLY!! A GENTLE JOG IS BETTER!!" while struggling to keep up with me during my walk break and I already smiled and told you it was "all part of the plan". (But thanks for the support).

    Almost no one like that- most lads you see running quick times train their asses off...Very common misperception of newbie runners actually- no idea how hard the top guys work to get where they are- your eyeballs would explode if you saw an elite training regime!
