Bus drivers - wankers. 100% useless thugish morons. I saw an example of such lazy, incompetent, inconsiderate driving last night I was appalled. I'd have been appalled if it was exhibited by a myopic micra driver or some yoof in a 'sooped up Mum's Nova' but from a bus driver...shameful.
These tw@ts should not be given a shopping trolley let alone X tons of heavy machinery to use on the public roads. Accidents (mostly on the bus), violence (again mostly on the bus), pollution and congestion on the roads. Public transport sucks in London anyway but buses suck worst.
Binary four to all of 'em.

ZOMG!1
Cool!
I saw the podiatrist last night to get my orthonics fitted - that's inserts in my shoes to sort out my spakky mechanics. I honestly couldn't feel much difference in the exam room but walking back to the station was a revalation! No knee pain - comfort and joy ensue ;-)
Hopefully I'll head back towards 5K and then upward in time for the Regents Park summer 10k series.
I'll be away for a couple of weeks so I'll post back on my return.

How are your mechanics?
I haven't been able to pound the roads or the treadmill (bringer of pain!) for a week or so now as my right knee has been somewhat uncomfortable. As I am aiming for the longer distances these days I thought it was about time - if not a little too late - to consult the experts on how wonky I actually am as a runner.
So, I pootled off to East Acton last night (a nice looking neighbourhood as it happens) to have my 'gait' analysed. Very interesting stuff! It may sound like I am a physical wreck with a twist to the pelvis and mild over pronation causing the discomfort and rubbishing my efficiency but these are common conditions. As my doctor once said about me - unremarkable. Thanks dude...
Anyway, a physio session and some wedges in the shoes should sort these issues out and I'll be back in training for the Budapest half marathon in '08.
All in all, understanding the mechanics of running was fascinating. I recommend anyone looking to extend distances beyond 5k investigate having their gait analysed. Its cool stuff to know and can save frustrating injury.
