Amari Watergate Midnight Charity Run

Well I didn't get to listen to my new Ska records because the damn earphones kept slipping out despite my taping them to my ears - must have been the iced water I was throwing over myself at every occasion. Shall have to get some new 'ear-hugging' over-the-lobe type ones, er .. this afternoon! Yes, I love shopping at weekends! It was rather hot last night even though the race started at midnight!

Anyway, I ran my race of 12km in what I think was a respectable under 70 minutes and that was with a really slow start getting through the starting gate as there were apparently over 3,000 people racing last night.

Not suffering too many aches or pains so this has given me a real incentive to step up the training for the big one on Novemeber 26th. I hope I can both beat my time and raise more money this year.

There was even a free beer thrown in last night so 'big-up' to the Amari Watergate and all their sponsors - I think about 3,000,000 THB was raised for the AIDS orphans in Lopburi so its all worthwhile.

Ska Pants

Was doing a bit of weekend shopping just now, as you do, at the weekend and it is also Saturday today so all is quite in order really.

Anyway, bought a few shirts and a pair of shoes and finally some Ska pants. That's pants in the British sense not the American sense as trousers were not on my shopping list for today.

Anyway, Ska is the name of the brand and it reminded me of that genre of music and the fact that I used to quite like it when I was a mere lad of 13-14 so I've looked some up and put it on the radio thingy for anyone who virtually stumbles over this Blog. Hadn't heard of all them and or listened for that matter so I shall stick them on my MP3 player and enjoy listening to them this evening when I am doing the Amari Watergate Midnight Charity run - that's another Blog for tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy it and if you have a favourite Ska tune then let me know and I'll add it to the radio thingy.
