Weekend running and plan for the week

Morning y'all. It's pm19, who's not as busy (at the moment) as he was in the past 2 weeks. Another brand new week. This week my plan is to log in more mileage. It started pretty well, because although I ran an easy 6 lapper at KLCC on Friday, I managed to run 15k on Saturday and 22k yesterday, on Sunday. All were done at a relatively slower pace of between 5:30-6:00 per km.
Jamie told me that he managed to obtain a copy of Endurance of VCD. That got me all excited because the movie is about possibly one of the greatest distance runner of all time, Haile Gebrselassie. As far as I know it is only available on VCR format but someone must have recorded this onto a VCD format. Jamie did try copying the same into his computer but the VCD skipped numerous times in the process so I think it was unsuccessful. Hopefully a copy can be made. I'm sorry- I usually buy originals and I really want to buy Endurance, brand new, but Amazon has run out of them and it seems to be no longer in production. Endurance is now being sold 2nd hand, and I don't trust any of these fellas who purportedly sell them. I'm not just gonna use my credit card for what may be a dodgy sale. So, I really hope a copy can be made.
This morning started with rain- traffic is probably worse than usual. Luckily I chose to come to work early.
I read with interest the latest entry of John's blog- scary stuff. This whole thing is disturbing. Ronnie's blog and his accompanying shoutbox is a focal meeting point for runners to meet, discuss and generally joke about running- but there have been some weirdos around as well. There are idiots and weirdos in all walks of life, and sports. Running is no different. On Ronnie's shoutbox and mine, generally I've chosen the only way I know to deal with them- not to respond to them.
