Fool around the clock tonight
Posted on May 15, 2007
I just came in from some running. I’m loosely following a marathon-preparation program. It’s quite intensive — I’m running five days a week, with a weekly increase of roughly 10% in accumulated mileage. Though almost too tough initially, I really got into the whole thing after a while. I’ve now reached the point where I actually want to go out and exercise. A totally new experience for me.
However, quite early on during tonight’s fartlek (Yes, it’s an English word!), I managed to do something with my right ankle. It slowly became very stiff, until it got to the point where I barely could put any weight on it. A few minutes later, my whole right leg, from hip to ankle, exploded into the most furious cramps I’ve ever experienced. Naturally, I crashed together on the asphalt as a piece of meat. Naturally, I was right next to Geneva’s touristy Flower clock when it happened. Naturally, people rushed to my “help”.
Although I make a fool of myself pretty much every day, this felt like a record.
Other life-altering events lately include a session of amusingly serious pub golf, boosted by real clubs and the appropriate clothing, as well as last Saturday’s (free!) wine degustation in the area around the small village of Setigny. Seven hours of grape-goodness and four (or was it five?) splendid vineyards paved the way for an awesome Eurovision-evening at Carlos’ and Tom’s.
