ACTing Runner

I woke well before the alarm this morning after one of those truly awful sleeps that you can only get in a hotel where the aircon is either too hot or too cold and its too stuffy to turn it off.

Fortunately it was an absolutely stunning Canberra morning (though I'm terribly glad I packed a long sleeve top) so I headed off down through Telopea Park to the lake to play the 'let's side step the goose poop' game for about 400m till it was time to turn around and head back.

In one of lifes coincidences who should be coming the other way than the Chairman of my organisations Board of Directors. This is kinda funny as I'm not only an acting runner at the moment but I've also been acting as Big Kahuna at work for the last month while the boss has been away.

So after passing pleasantries with CBoD and subtly trying to reassure him that I was a) actually in the ACT on business, b) not stalking him, and c) that I hadn't contrived this chance meeting as a massive suck-up, I struggled my way back up the slight incline back to Rydges happy to have put another one in the bank.

Probably won't have another go till the weekend - I'm not really very sore but my legs feel like my feet have bricks tied to them.

Onwards and upwards ;-)

hehe - mate - there are easier ways to suck up to the boss - like complimenting his tie choice... or agreeing with everything he says...

did you go extra fast until he was out of sight?

:)

Gronk said...

"Oh gee boss, you run ever so fast [puff, wheeeze]" ;-)

Better than having to compliment him on his golf swing.

Aren't we all acting as runners ;)

It was a tad cool today - about 13 degrees when I ran this afternoon.

Shane said...

It's good to read that the training is progressing in the right direction - keep at it.

I hope you gave the CBoD an earful about a pay-rise and travel allowance above youth hostel level.

You're the big Kahuna in many ways.
