UK General Election - Hang on, I thought this was a running blog?

Whilst I am very interested (but not active) in UK politics, I keep politics out of my blog but I mention this time purely in that as part of that strong interest, I stayed up all night to watch it.

This means having got up at 5.30am yesterday and done close to six miles for the third day in a row (as per the training plan I have stuck to), I went to work during the day and then stayed up until I went to bed at 8.30am this morning - 27 hours after I got up.

It was an unusual pre-test of whether I could stay up without falling asleep given I am likely to be awake for upwards of 20hours on race day, and in fact I did not feel that tired during the proceedings.

So there is my tenuous non-political link to the UK General Election, and as much I might be tempted to do a political blog, I only just about have time to write this blog three to four times a week as it is.

Healthy eating failed on a big scale during the all-nighter, and a lot of crap was eaten - I have yet to tally up the calorific impact but I suspect it is not bad, but these will not be good calories for certain.
