Thursday 21st April - feel good factor

30 minute run on the beach after work...

Quite amusing this run, decided to read two chapters of Sylvia Plaths "Bell Jar" with the sound of crashing waves as ambient noise.
Went to the public toilets before my run, sun shining, people everywhere, nice evening. There was two cars by the toilet with 6 teenage girls in and around the cars. Two of the girls we're staring at me as I approached the toilet. When I come out the toilet, all 6 girls were watching me, which was weird as fuck. I put it down to the army shorts and tight GASP muscle vest I was wearing. I jogged past their cars and they proceeded to beep their car horns, thought it would stop after a couple of beeps. I must have been 2/300 metres away and they we're still beeping, with people looking over to them. Very weird and embarrassing experience...
