…that is the only possible explanation! I am a sloth. When I took time off between university and working life, did I go travelling? No. Did I volunteer for a worthy cause? No. Did I do anything even remotely useful? No. I read and I slept and I indulged in baths that lasted for a minimum of three hours. And I didn’t get bored and I didn’t feel guilty.
So the only possible explanation for the fact that I have run six parkruns in a row, signed up for a running workshop, entered the Bupa 10km and put my name in the hat for the Royal Parks Half Marathon is that an alien has taken over my body. I don’t give it long. I will overcome it. And the first step will be to invoke rule two of Febtathlon and cycle home instead of running.
Ha!
That’ll show it!

I’ll put the kettle on then 😉
Maybe you are mutating from sloth to cheetah! Half marathon entry impressive.
I think your time off was entirely worthwhile. And while it’s clear to me that aliens have indeed taken over your body, the relationship may be symbiotic. God knows I could do with similar aliens (although they show no signs of manifesting). More power to your elbow (or other joints).
I think my alien is more easily fatigued than yours … and it’s nocturnal.
You’re really showing that alien by cycling home . . . ‘cos that’s such a slothful thing to do . . . Great list of events you and the alien have planned though.
lol – it’s a flat route and I’m really more of a pootler than a cyclist proper. As for the events, I have to wait until the ballot is drawn to find out whether the half-marathon is on. I’m crossing my fingers, but am not sure which outcome I’m rooting for 😉
That’s exciting, the royal parks was a lovely run(sorry race!) last year. I might put my name down as well…… this is getting catching!
