I got an Achilles twitch in my right ankle. I think it's because I was not concentrating on my last run. I think it's because I was not concentrating on my last run. You can't just throw your legs in front of you and land on them. Er, well you can, but it's not good because you tend to not care about how you landed and will not be able to recover from bad footing in uneven surfaces and thus you'll be prone to injury like mine. And besides its careless. So I'm kinda irritated with this because I know that should not run tonight. I want to run tonight. We'll see.I didn't run that night, figured that I should let it rest. Good thing I did because over the bank holiday weekend I did two more 6.7km runs and although I felt perhaps a hint of a twitch, it was all good by the time I went running. Both good runs as far as I'm concerned: sub 5mins per Km.

Last week I created a cool programming mechanism/solution which did the job it was designed to do. Then I tried to use and extend it beyond what it was meant for to no avail. Basically I wasted 3 days trying that. Today I'm -3 days in but have some idea on how I'm going to do it but will need some speed and fancy footwork. Space to think, is for me, as being productive straight away. Especially when I got a problem like this. Like in layout, they say negative space is essential design principle. I guess it's the same for me. Unless I'm just slow. Quite possible.

Good weekend though. Made some real headway into one of my projects. Was supposed to study but I didn't feel like it, the thing I'm studying is useless - I'm toying with the idea of dropping it so I can replace it but I've just got in too far really to do that. Argh.

Been great sunshine this weekend. Tried to find some laptop memory for my old but trusty HP Compaq NC6320 but to no avail, I even tried the next town...no I don't think I even need it. Sunday I went for a walk around the common, enjoyed watching this black golden retriever repeatedly fetch a tennis ball thrown into the pond. Can a golden retriever be black? Huh dunno. It was a like seeing a picture if a holiday resort, everyone was out, basking in all their splendour. Colours all over all which way you look. Basking girls in the sun are pretty sexy. You need a certain almost blind confidence to make it through days like that.

Note to myself: I need a cross over cable because deploying java apps onto my app server is terribly slow over wifi. End note to myself.

I also went to watch Iron Man 3 which having been told was not really that good, was absolutely brilliant and I enjoyed it very much. So much for trusting the advice of others, you got to love your own life, it's like I told my dad, trust no one. That's from the X files TV series now come to think about it. I had breakfast at 4am, that's when I woke. It was an uncomfortably warm night. I got up a few times, I don't think I could make it on the coast without a lot of training. I had a colder shower than usual which was nice. I checked some code in; put some veg(I know in the morning right after cereal) in the steamer and eat that later on. I know I've not had a great deal of veg lately so felt the need to do it today, now. Packed my jacket into my rucksack, got a bottle of water, wedged that into the side pocket and I'm off.

I'm on the tube, pulling into Oval tube station now. We've been traveling for about 15 minutes. Half way. Got my iPod in, it's going to be a good day!
