Baby it's cold outside

Ok so perhaps I'm a bit out of season with the title now but it's blooming true ce soir! So my wonderful housemate Katie and I have been hitting the gym as often as we can - she's not training for a marathon but maybe I'll just give her my place as she actually manages to work out harder than I do..... Ah come on I am trying, pretty hard actually - I'll never be a runner so just taking part is an achievement for me! Today's gym session was particularly entertaining as not only did we both get a magical moment seeing the fitness instructor we have affectionately nicknamed Merlin but we also got an unexpected treat. Upon approaching the treadmills we noted that they were all occupied apart from away from an older man on the end. Upon climbing onto them it became immediately apparent why - the man on the end clearly has never discovered the wonder that is deodorant and quite clearly also hasn't washed his clothes since his last gym session which was probably 10 years ago.... Ah well beggars can't be choosers so on with the work out! Debated all day whether to go for a run this evening too then reminded myself I'm running the marathon so I really ought to. So after dinner I went to choir then had the option of joining everyone at the curry house for a drink but NOOOOOO not the is Charlotte! Not this time! Back to 26 South Road - on with the sweat bands and ipod armband. Went for a run up to Virginia Water and then back down Egham hill - in retrospect a stupid idea - if you run down a hill you must remember that you're going to have to get back up it somehow.... silly arse. So although I ache a bit now I do feel a lot better for having accomplished that and being so cold outside and late in the evening it was nice to have the pavements pretty much to myself apart from a few other runners who looked like they were enjoying themselves a lot more than me. I also heard that someone got mugged at knifepoint really close to here and a ferrari was stolen from the dealership so if that doesn't serve as motivation to move quicker when I'm out at night I don't know what will! Anyways still on £324 so come on guys dig deep especially all students whose loan has just come in - quickly before you hit the SU and it's gone again! :) Thanks for continued support love you all! xxxx
