Stuck

Hrun · #1 14th May 08, 07:08 PM

I am stuck on the M5 as some twank has had an accident ahead and the motorway is closed. We have travelled 1.0 mile in the last hour and a half.

What is really annoying is I booked a hotel near a pool so I didn't miss my exercise and now it looks like it will be closed before I get there

This is so annoying and I think I might be getting a tad obsessive about my fitness kick. Before I would have been more worried about missing the restaurant.

I am tempted to park up and go for a run on the hard shoulder.

You'll have to run instead of swim...

But you'd probably get nicked running on the hard shoulder. :eek:

The feds would have to catch you first, seen some officers I rekon I could easily outrun!

he he. Bless the iPhone.

As for running on the hard shoulder two things spring to mind. The speed I run anyone could catch me and then they would nick me for indecency, not for where I was running.

Finally got to the hotel at 8.45, 4 hours to do 8 miles

Hahaha - was going to suggest that before I got to the end of your post and saw that you'd got there before me!
