Out of sorts

Not quite sure what's wrong with me, but I've not been my usual self for a few days. Had I not gone to Kerrys' and had a lovely time at the weekend, I probably would be feeling even more miserable now. It was a good laugh as usual, and it was my first visit to somebodies house whilst being vegan. I have to say they accommodated my finicky ways fabulously, making me a mushroom and nut wellington. I even got my own oven to avoid cross contamination! There's not many people would go to that extreme for you, is there?

But, the misery set in before I'd even left their house. I felt overwhelmed that the weekend was practically over and it seemed so close to coming back to work. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm hating work at the moment or anything like that... I just seem to be hating life!

The pad that the podiatrist put on my foot is a marked improvement, and I am able to walk much better, although today (because it is wet weather) I have had to wear proper shoes instead of my big cushiony reef sandals and I can feel the discomfort under foot much more because I'm walking on a harder and more unforgiving sole.

I can't remember the last time I did any training. I think it was nearly 2 weeks ago. I've lost the will and the motivation. I wasn't feeling too grand with a bad cold, but now that's practically gone so I do not have that excuse to fall back on. Running seems (to me) to be in the very very distant future.

So, in an attempt to pull myself around, I've emailed Dhirender in India and asked for definite dates for the ultra. We hope to book the flights and hotels for Dubai and India in the next fortnight, which will at least give me something to focus on. It looks like I will be deferring my place for The Wall to 2013 (along with the race in Llanelli and possibly the 24 hour race in May) so it seems my plans for 2012 have been rescheduled to 2013!
We've checked with the kids, and have decided to take them to Thorpe Park for a weekend in May (which they will love) and I now need to find a dress for Kerrys' birthday party which is the beginning of May. I have a lot of stuff to look forward to... I just need to get myself pulled together for it all and stop feeling so out of sorts!
