#08Good people and good incentives!

I've been prettybusy this last week, and on the first chance I've had to post a blog, I wanted to share the events and thoughts of my slightly odd day... Five years ago, I could hardly jog 200m without collapsing in a useless, wheezing heap! These days my fitness, stamina and my asthma have all seen massive improvements and one of the benefits of this was hammered home today.
Chilling in my quiet local park in the sunshine, with tunes in my ears, absorbed, I didn't see the guy stealth up behind me. As he grabbed my bag I heard him smugly whisper "See ya later.." The nerve! He could probably have picked an easier target. I was up and a
fter him like a shot, shouting at him, attracting attention, and carrying a bottle of Evian which I proceeded to throw at him as he was crossing the dual carriageway next to my park..! The pursuit continued at full sprint long enough for me to realise that I would not have been capable of it even three years ago. When the fiend dropped the bag and ran off, I was almost surprised to realise I could've run much further at that speed. I was though, probably much more surprised to turn back and see a guy with a guitar and a guy in Speedo's had also joined my pursuit of the bag thief! I can only imagine how it would have looked to passers-by; a furious girl in bare feet and bikini, throwing things and closely followed by my two friends!I was very thankful to get my stuff back, and I want to express my thanks, again, to the two lovely guys that ran to help without a second thought. The moral of this story? Your training will serve you well, and there are good people everywhere - even when you don't see them...

Wow..We never know how or when we will need use our physical condition in real situations, so it's good to be always prepared, right?
