It's possible that I'm getting heavier. I know that's a weird way to start a post. My last two or three runs were tough. My calf muscles are taking a beating and I've had to force myself to slow myself down. I don't know if it was because I was Ill a few weeks back so it could just be recent residual strain, Im getting better though - I went for a run with a dude from work a while back, what maybe a week ago, about 6kms and I tool serious pace.
Someone was supposed to view my flat yesterday and they didn't come. Stupid. Well, least my place is neat and tidy.
Was thinking how easy life is when you don't challenge yourself. I'm thinking about moving and the hassle involved. Then I quickly realise how moving, mixing stuff up, changing is probably of my most empowering thing I do. It's about life, experiencing it and if you can experience as much of it as possible that's what I have to do - change makes that happen. So, before I was kinda thinking I should just stay where I'm at, it's convenient but I know now that I fancy a change and a challenge.
So I was in the changing room, at the gym, changing after my shower and out the corner of my eye I spot this fitness machine, so I figured what the hell and I thought it'd be good to get some stats... My B.M.I ( it measured my body muscle through electronic resistance, apparently ) is 29.7. My ideal is at most 25. Also I'm almost 90 Kg at 87.9 kg. Not only that I think I've grown taller. Seriously, I always had a figure of 1.5m in my head, not so. I'm 1.72m now - I've grown 22 cm. Holy Moses! So now I'm thinking how to get BMI down, if indeed that measure is effective(some swear by it and others swear at it)
I've not actually done anything productively this weekend other than sleeping, which I do well when I get to sleep. Sure, I ran and when to the gym but I've not really done any good on the computer(probably a good thing?). I've been listening to Spotify, watched a interesting documentary on Cancer which sparked my interest, I think Id like to read up more about this disease as its morbidly fascinating - thinking now, I should probably get my kindle exercised a bit more with stuff on it.
Strangely in the 2 or so years I've been bashing away at my guitar, I've never learned any Nirvana songs which is kinda the first thing people do, right? So I sorted that out. I don't 'know' them that we'll but they sound like they should, sorta.
I'm off to watch a movie at the cinema tonight, Jo Nesbo's headhunters...thriller...hope it's thrilling.
I watched headhunters. It was pretty good, I didn't know it was subtitled but I liked it non the less. I think it was Norwegian or Swedish or something European like that. Actually I enjoyed it tremendously. Sort of like Jason Bourne but in Norwegian.
I slept on the floor(on the carpet) last night. Didn't sleep any worse than if I slept on the sofa - maybe says something about the sofa... I'm actually surprised - I thought it would be terribly uncomfortable but it wasn't, it felt normal. Woke up at 4am which is becoming fairly usual(maybe the traffic outside?) but besides that all was well. Interesting.
Just before heading into town for the film, I started to look into my next book to read. I'm over God Knows. I bought I book on the crusades while I was in Liverpool street station and that happened to be an impulsive reaction to the need to relax, get away and read quietly. So, I've got a book from my wish list called "The Idiot" - fitting perhaps but it's about a mans struggle with morality - a battle I can relate to. It's fiction but sometimes you need that to show you through a story line what's what.
I need a coffee.
