Run(r) - Kelvingrove Park and Heliport

Not an awful lot to report over the past couple of days - the weather's been intermittently showery (a hangover from the worryingly dry April) and I'm sitting exams at the moment, so yesterday was just a gym interval session, and today was a jogging recovery session along the Kelvin in the rain. I've got nothing against rain per se, but it does tend to shorten maintenance intervals on the bike (suspended debris burning through brake blocks and rims, washing away lubrication etc) so pedestrian motion seemed to be the way forward, so to speak.

Several (non engineering-based) things that I have learned in the past two days:

1. The maximum power that the gym "bikes" can "measure" (infer) is 600W. Looks like if I want to practice my sprinting, I'm just going to have to race for road signs.
2. It is really hard to make a run to Kelvingrove park last an hour.

I noticed something interesting behaviourally today, as well. As the rain started, I was struggling to find the enthusiasm to go out for what would be, after all, just a recovery run. In the end, I decided to go out for no better reason than gluttony - if I ran more, then I could eat more and not put on extra weight to drag up a mountain.

Have I basically just invented a new form of moral quandary here? Instead of asking - do the ends justify the means, is it possible to ask - do the means justify the ends?

Good trails!
