Odd looking.

I'm ready and keen as hell for my next race this Sunday which is the Half Marathon at Masham. I was hoping for it to be red hot but it's now looking like it's going to rain, I wasn't that bothered with a fast time and was looking forward to some more red hot temperatures but if it's going to rain then I may as well just have a go at beating my best time around this race route. I have now got some of those daft looking long compression socks (see picture) which I will be testing this weekend and if all goes well then anything over ten miles in the future and I will sacrifice looking odd for some faster times.

The Tour De France starts tomorrow so I will be dedicating more of my time to sport than usual and after suffering the torment of watching England in the World Cup the bike race has got to be a massive improvement, and seeing as it has never let me down in the past twenty odd years this year should be no different.

I don't know why but I have been craving some alcohol this week and tonight I couldn't resist the temptation any longer and purchased myself a bottle of jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey. I just hope it's not on the banned substance list or I might just prove positive still come Sunday.

Socks to suit all leg shapes.
