Last night was Horwich RMI Harriers' annual club presentation evening. I went along to deliver the trophies and to congratulate the winners. I had had a really busy day in work, which resulted in me finishing late and having to really rush to get ready. So much so that my hair was a greasy mess but I didn't have time to wash it so I ended up shoving a baker boy hat on to cover up the grease.
Because I was so stressed out, my first pint of cider went down really well. Too well in fact, I gulped it down and was soon onto my next. Four ciders later I felt pretty plastered, probably because I had drank too fast and on an empty stomach (well, until I had my two pasties and peas anyway).
I won a big box of licorice allsorts on the raffle and I'm ashamed to say, they didn't make it home with me. I ate the whole lot on the walk home. Duncan had a few too but he doesn't really like them so I ate the lion's share.
Waking up this morning, I felt a little worse for wear. I had a couple of slices of toast and then decided to go for a run to see if I could shake off the headache and lethargy. I had to go and pick up my car from the RMI club so decided to have an easy run around Rivington and then run into Horwich to pick it up and drive to my mum and dad's.
It was a lovely day and for the first time this year, I put on shorts and t-shirt. Big mistake, it was freezing out and it took me a couple of miles before I warmed up.
My run was very sluggish and I felt pretty rough, especially about three miles in when I stopped to retie a shoelace and when I stood back up again I went really dizzy and thought I was going to pass out.
Total distance - 4.1 miles
