T for Two T for Tuesday!

Hi watchers of the blog,

Another glorious day out there today, even with the chilly wind to start our day off. Today there is just the two of us. Me and Happy Neighbour. Nagging sister is doing secret undercover work, dealing with papers, for the government, Vic.2 has a small attachment with her today, and Smarty Pants feels she can take the day off! to be with her other half.

I tried very hard this morning to load a playlist on to my IPOD, to give some really bitchin toonz to focus my attention on and to keep me at an even pace. But me and technology are not well suited, the darn computer had a hissy fit wouldn't do what I wanted it to do and even refused to shut down!

So here we are, me and Happy Neighbour, and she is still laughing, how she does it I don't know! We set off, like I say with the chill in the air trying to put us off. You can see that we are both focused, we both want to do better than yesterday, (#Say you'll be there - Spice Girls#) looking towards our first goal on the new route, the next long straight road. (#My heart Will Go On - Celine Dion#, this is so not jogging music fast forward). Yes we made it, 5 mins and something, swig of water, power walk to the small road then jog to the main road (Rock 'n' Roll Star - Oasis#) Happy neighbour must be in the zone, she is doing well. Me, I'm power walking, I need to keep up with Happy Neighbour, there has to be at least one person among my friends that I can keep up with!

Now down the main road, jogging on, try to get in to the zone 'JOG WOMAN!' ........ Wow. Where did that come from? Was that really me, nagging myself,....again!!! Stay focused, whats on the IPOD now? (#Where is the Love - Celine Dion# no, no, fast forward) Oh my word! no wonder I can't get into the zone, Got to make a playlist, pick up the beat, get into the zone. Coming down pass the pub, mmmmm, is it too early for a lager? Stay focused Old Girl, Come on now. Jog on, jog on, Happy neighbour is power walking behind me!! Oh wow, I am in front of some one at last.(#Lord I lift Your name on High - Worship# hit the button again) Oh no, even these songs are not pace making songs!

That's it I try and skip the next couple of songs, Joe cocker, and Jenifer Rush purleeze!!! Ok, that's a good one, well better (#You Can Ring My Bell - Donna Summer#) Ok now old girl, get to the park, don't think about happy Neighbour is now in front of you, just get to the park check the time. That will encourage you.

NO! NO! NO! I must have squeezed my phone, because the timer has stopped working!! Don't worry, its not a problem, just stay focused, it feels quicker, it is quicker! just set the timer now. (#Against All Odds# - Phil Collins) What was I thinking.

That's it, catch up to Happy Neighbour and explain! Yeah, I would if I could breathe, but, I suppose it' like a dentist, he can understand you when you trying to talk with your mouth pinned wide opened, joggers can understand each other, when they puff and pant and point at things!

(#The Air That I Breathe - David Gates#, how apt is that) Can't think now, just do our best from here to home. So we go for it. All th way home from the park, keep jogging, non stop, (#Don't Stop Now - Crowded house#) on to the last bit the sprint! I said the SPRINT My legs were just not obeying my head, I am begging myself to sprint along and I am just poodling along. NOW! Sprint, just up the path. That's where I put the speed on. 5 minutes from the park to here. 5 minutes and 2 seconds. (#Shout to the Lord - Worship#)

So had I listened to all of these songs it would have taken over thirty minutes, but I know I shuffled through them, Im just hoping that we were faster than yesterday.
