19th June. 'Down, Down, Deeper and Down' - Status Quo.

I run 10k listening to Status Quo, their repetitive riffing and unvarying tempo sets an ideal pace. I start to get an ache, first in the left calf muscle then the right, when I get back it's taken five minutes too long, unless it's actually more than 10k?

It's true that the mental attitude required for sporting performance is far removed from Depression, because it would be all too easy to think, why am I doing this? Then the next thought would be STOP, and that would be the end of it.

I think of the Police, Ambulance and the power boat in the river tonight, looked like they were searching for a jumper off the bridge, somebody that felt they couldn't go on.

If only they'd been introduced to Triathlon.

Triathlon sounds like an anti depressant drug.

Exactement!

Most Doctors are unwilling to prescribe Triathlon although the side effects are a lot less severe than drugs in the Tricyclic group.

Always a risk self prescribing.
