Training Log – OFF THE CHEESE!

On the eve of St. Valentine’s Day, I have come to a very difficult decision; I’m ending my love affair with cheese. For those of you who know me well, you’ve heard this many times before and I’m sure you’re not at all convinced that I’ll be able to finally end this relationship. Trust me, I will. I am officially and permanently “OFF THE CHEESE” and here’s why.

On Saturday night Gail and Chris’s had friends over to the house for an evening of drinks and munchies. It was a lovely time spent chatting, munching and sipping our drinks of choice. Well, it was lovely until I woke up this morning with a food hangover. At first I was confused; why was this happening to me?  What the fuck happened to make me so thirsty and feel so shitty? Then it hit me, it was the cheese – the brie, old cheddar and the Gouda. Oh God, the GOUDA!  

Unfortunately, the food hangover isn’t entirely new to me; however, what is new, is one brought on by a feed-bag-scenario with cheese. In the past, I’ve bounced back from many a food hangover, but this one took a nasty turn when I went for my 7 km run this afternoon. At the 5 km point, something happened, something very bad happened. I began to experience gallbladder-type pains and I my sweat (of which there was a lot) started to smell like cheese, Gouda in fact. I shit you not; I was a fucking cheese platter on the move! It was vile! I was vile! Gouda is vile!

Gouda, it’s over! We’re through!

The only thing that got me through, was replaying in my mind a boxing video that my friend Grant had recently sent me. Thanks Grant, you saved my run!

Observations – Get Outta of my Head, Get into Action

This week has been one that I’ve spent thinking far too much. I’ve got to get out of my head and away from such an inward focus.  Actually, it’s been such a week of navel gazing that I can’t even stand writing about it. The only thing I will say is that things are going to change. Get ready for some action!
