Needing a Spark?

Missed the Medium to Long run with Kanser this morning with working but still managed to find 15ks from somewhere and just cruised around. Head and heart just don't seem to be in it the moment and I'm badly in need of finding some sort of Spark to kick start me into action.
As planned i am going to do the Striders 10k race on Saturday  (as i always do regardless of form) but feel as if i will be doing well to even break 38 minutes if truthful?
Back out at lunch for a spin on the bike (always seems easier) and did an easy 30ks all up even seeing some of the lads out for there midweek med/long run.

Berlin Boy today is Warrior Charlie

Charles Dalziell , aka - Warrior Charlie, Slow Charlie, Pascoe ( Dalziell & Pascoe BBC TV show)
Charlie has been along time member of the HuRTS team although we haven't really seen that much of him over the past 18 months or so, not sure if he's injured, gone soft, to busy, or just plain avoiding me? Does a lot behind the scenes for the boys with his mate Greg in sorting the web page and all the technical stuff that us mere wombats have no clue about.
When not training with the boys he can be found around Farm Cove, and the Bay area with his Warrior Mates doing all sorts of press ups, dips, sit ups and i have even seen them sitting down holding the wall up on one of there many bizarre things they do over 60 minutes.
Does move well when he does manage to get some consistent training under his belt and he tells me he is secretly hoping for a time of 3.20 come September. I've told him he could knock 20 minutes of that if he just runs the 42ks and doesn' stop on the way around doing some of the above exercises that i mentioned.
A top guy is Mr Dalziell although I'm not sure if he sometimes gets my humour and when i see the 'Stern' look on his face that says 'P!$$ Off Timmy' i know he's gone all serious and i back off and give him the space he deserves :)
Like Rene, Charlie has a claim to fame by having outside interests on British TV as his ego Andy Dalziell, In fact Charlie does have very similar characteristics as the TV show, (a) His larger Girth,
(b) can be a miserably old b@$tard and (c) Has a heart of Gold under that tough exterior.
Lets hope the shenanigans of Stankard/Kane/Highnam doesn't get to much for Charlie once we hit the high life of Munich.  (Jeez, there seems a few falling under that banner it seems?)

Warrior Charlie , showing of his 'Guns' at last Years J.P Morgan, Covering the 5.6ks in 21 minutes despite stopping and doing 250 press ups, 300 Sit ups and a 60 second plank on the way around.
