Motivation. Petty, Petty Motivation.

My friends are lovely people.
The hands down funniest moment of my life is when the other Lucy was sat in her totally frozen car (during a mega cold snap, about -15), and I thought I'd be clever by getting some cold water to throw at her windows to help, and began to squirt a 2 litre bottle of water from my boot with chunks if ice in it, at her window just as she rolled the heavily frosted glass down, thereby soaking her with freezing water. I was laughing too much to explain, but luckily she was laughing too and didn't kill me, and I literally did nearly pee myself.

I have also been blessed with yet more things in the post. Cat re-homed some protein powder my way, and it's handy as it has no flavour, so can be added to anything I can chuck in my blender. Pam sent me a whole tub of ZMA and the bestest soya beans ever (they are open in the photo as I had started eating them). My mountain bike has been misbehaving and will be a patient in Kevin's Hospital For Poorly Bikes this evening, so all in all, I'm a very lucky gal.

The other supplements in the picture are things I'm taking reasonably regularly, a few times a week or so.

And I noticed on Facebook someone I don't like will also be doing the Lumphanan 10k at new year. He is faster than me, and probably has a 50 min 10k. I won't be able to beat him with just 8 weeks to go, but I will be faster than I am now, and not disgrace myself. At Baker Hughes last year there was a girl who annoys me (just for her terrible driving, she tears about like a nutter and nearly ran me into a ditch once) and I was determined to beat her, and I did, but she was nearly and hour and half for a 10k, so beating that is no great achievement. So yes, I'm petty, but I'll be damned if he has time to finish and get his stuff together and have gone home by the time I reach the line.
