gym and haggis

i really coudln't be bothered going to the gym today. and i thought i wouldn't go. but then i thought about how everyone knows i'm supposed to be able to run 10k at the end of may and thought i'd better go even if it's just for 20 minutes. and so i went. i didn't feel athletic or on the ball at all. i started with five minutes paced walk and started running (slow run) after five minutes. ran for five and then started walking again. strange thing was, i could keep up with my breathing, yet my legs were getting really weak. i thought it would be other way round. i was just about to get cramps in my left leg when i was walking after the run, but i always repositioned my leg and didn't get the cramp. was annoying though. not sure how it could have been prevented, i had a warm up. after twenty minutes, i've had enough and was glad to go home. i'll have a day off tomorrow and will try and do another twenty minute session on tuesday.

i had haggis for the first time today! vegetarian, of course, but haggis nontheless. with potatoes. and a gherkin (just one cause i ran out.) it was very nice. it's like jaternica, just a bit more spicy. i think i'll be eating it every now and then. i'll also have to find barley groats and make soup or something cause i like them.
