Rain and Kidney Pain

I gotta admit, I'm proud of my desire to be thin today. After a day of feeling like I've run around like a headless chicken I forced myself to go for a run in the dark and the pissing rain. I had over indulged a tad during the day on wasabi peas and cheese on toast, bits of chocolate etc so I had to do 'the guilt run.'

Not only was it dark, cold and raining but my kidneys decided to repeatedly punch me in my lower back at that particular moment but, it was only kidney ache, I wasn't going to die (so I kept telling myself whilst making mental note to buy hydrating isotonic drinks asap - I don't want kidneys the size of shrivelled walnuts thank you very much).

Well, let me tell you, there are some serious weirdos out at that time of night. Including a bloke having an argument with a hedge - I ran particularly quickly past him - and a kerb crawling old lady with her soon-to-be-dead looking friend. I assumed they wanted directions being old and out in the car in the dark, probably only living 5 minutes up the road but, that's ok, we all get a little disoriented from time to time..... so I slowed up and pulled my earphones out in preparation for the car window to come down but no! All that happened was the (I assume) still living corpse in the passenger seat just stared really creepily at me with her mouth open. I suppose she might have been dead. The driver meanwhile was gripping the steering wheel like a vice and just staring straight ahead. I actually felt the need to look behind me to see if the zombie apocalypse was upon us. If it was, it was very quiet. So I jogged on, looked back to see the car doing a 360 and coming back. They slowed again by me but on the other side of the road, driver still staring ahead, passenger staring out the other window like she was in the first place. Then the car crawled away. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I am convinced the passenger was dead. Maybe the driver hadn't realised....

Anyway, got home, soaked, a little freaked out and still with thumping kidneys. Took some disgusting hydration powder drink thing, now am wondering if actually its not my kidneys at all, its the fact that I had to push a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre up a steep-ass hill with a large bale of hay in it and my back just hurts!

Whatever it is, it had better have buggered off by morning cos it bastard hurts!!!!
