Murphy's Law of road running:
Universal Truth:- Running never gets any easier, if one finds the exercise getting easy, you aren't working hard enough.
Universal Truth:- Fitness is so bloody hard to gain yet so easy to loose.
Car Drivers:- There's lots of them, expect to be seriously injured if not killed every time you decided to run. Because they're moronic/arrogant individuals - especially old people & women.
Car Drivers:- Even when you've been knocked over/near missed by inconsiderate cunts, don't expect them to show any remorse.
Cyclists:- Whilst not as bad as car drivers, they're still morons, especially when they ride on the path at night toward you, without lights and wearing dark clothing.
Pedestrians:- They will never fucking understand what a runner experiences as they run, they will always get in your way, or move out of your way right at the last second despite you wearing hiviz and often shouting "excuse me".
Dog walkers:- Just don't get me going. The owners need a good kick as you run past to remind them all, that the pavement doesn't exist for the benefit of dog-owners or, for dogs to piss and shite at every opportunity. Dog leads exist because it's a legal requirement (In the UK) for owners to tether their animals in public.
Weather:- Headwind is Mother nature's way of providing free resistance training. Stick two fingers up and tell that bitch to fuck off - then crack on.
Weather:- Snowfall is Mother nature's way of informing you to dress for cold weather. Wearing shorts (yes I've seen it) isn't hardcore - it's fucking stupid.
Injuries:- Warm-ups don't guarantee injury free exercise. Pain is the body's way of informing you of an injury, whilst there's always exceptions to the rule, unless you're training for P Company, or you're in contact with Islamist Milita, when pain strikes it's time to rest.
Injuries:- Blisters, bastards as they are, are inevitable. Accept it.
Psychology:- The hardest part of any run is pushing past that demon in the mind who gives you every reason available known to man to jack in, yet never gives any reasons to keep pushing on.
Psychology:- Just when you think you're getting a handle on this running lark, you realise there someone running past you who's fitter, faster, leaner that you...The Bastard !
