Whats with the traffic ?

I managed to get out a bit later than usual, about 7 pm. Started off nice and easy running against the wind (gale force) and aimed to do my negative split. I wanted to come home strong and do some sprints between light poles. For some reason every man and his dog or two was out and about. I checked, no not a full moon. No runout sale at Bunnings, and it was not National get your fat ass off the couch day! So why was there all of a sudden, like never before, peopleout and about ?!
I managed to get my 15.5k done neg split as planned and at least 6 good sprints in the mix.
5:15 pace altogether. Not good but not bad.
Then it hit me. That show Fat Brother or Fat Bastards was on and maybe people were starting to feel guilty. Maybe they weighed themselves and went WOW I am as heavy as the contestants !
Maybe not.
But hey, from my kickboxing days I remember anyone who got in the ring for a fight earned my respect and admoration because I knew what it took to get there win or loose.
So for some people just to take that first step out there door and go for a walk, jog or run. I take my hat off to them and say Good on ya Matey. Ha that sounds funny !
Rest tonight then long run tomorow morning, Yipeee
I have mapped out a different route with lots of hills to test the brain ?!
Take care and keep smiling
