So I did some yoga and said I would go running this evening with a friend. Well turns out she wouldn’t get to run until close to 7:45pm, which is basically my bed time, so then I said I would cycle in the evening. The close we got to that, the less likely that was to happen. Raz was going to go for a ruck march but when I reminded him it was Halloween and he would seem like a total creep-o for walking around, sweating, whi...
