State of Affairs

Okay. It’s two thirds of the way through July. The City2Surf is in... 24 days. I have barely trained.

I had a cold at one point. Eh. It’s not important. It’s all excuses. I’m going to spare myself the rationalisation.

I haven’t run at all this week. I did a 12k on Saturday, slow as hell. A couple of 6k staggers home during last week. Before that, a half-hearted 9k on the previous Saturday.

I think my performance will be seriously lacking at the race, so there is only one question now.

What ridiculous costume should I wear to run the City2Surf?

This is the way I figure it - I’m probably going to run the whole way, not in a spectacular fashion but not breaking any records. I will feel like I’ve wasted my potential.

BUT, if I run in a stupid (and hopefully lightweight) costume, I will feel like a massive tool, and other race participants will treat me accordingly. Plus, it has always looked like a great deal of fun.

So what do you reckon, silent blogosphere? Little red riding hood? A simple tutu?
