Last night’s run took a lot out of me. I felt fine when I went to bed but I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and feeling super tired. I’ll take today being Tuesday off so hopefully I’ll be running again on Wednesday. My original plan was to hit the stationary bike [...]
Day 1 Running : Success
July 25th, 2011 · Comments Off · Exercise, me
Just thought I would check in quickly, since that is what I promised. Took it easy tonight with a 20 minute run, not sure the distance as my GPS seemed to not be functioning properly. Looking forward to a run tomorrow, this first week will be tough but I’ll just keep at it. I didn’t complete [...]

New Beginnings . . . hopefully
July 24th, 2011 · Comments Off · Exercise, me
So perhaps you are all wondering how my 10km training has been going? Well in short – not so great. I’ve been plagued with a lot of issues i.e. lots of work, a bad stomach flu followed with a regular flu blah blah blah blah. I know what you’re thinking that those sound like a [...]

I had a good title for this post . . .
June 13th, 2011 · Comments Off · Uncategorized
Yes, I had a great title for this post but it seems to have escaped me. I was out on a 4.5 kms run with my friend this morning. I won’t lie and say I was excited to run today. I laid in bed debating the topic for a good 20 mins till I said “yes!”. I [...]

I just wanted to let everyone know I did my first after run break tonight. It was 2.45 kms but it was fun and I came back wanting more. All I focused on was smiling and just letting my body do its thing without expectations. I’m just going to keep easing back into things, my new goal [...]

Taking a Chill Pill
June 1st, 2011 · Comments Off · brisbane, Cleveland, Exercise, me, things I've learnt
In some ways I regret yesterday’s post and in some ways it all had to be said. I am proud of myself for completing my first 5kms and I think I need to give myself a bit more time to recover from it. Thanks to a conversation with a co worker and Google, I learnt [...]

Soon to be Lizzy in Brizzy vs. the Bridge!
May 31st, 2011 · 2 Comments · brisbane, Cleveland, Exercise, food, me, things I've learnt
So I’m in a bit of a training slump. If this were a movie, this is where some one takes me aside and gives me the moving speech that puts me back on track. I start feeling better and destroy all the obstacles in my way. Unfortunately, no one has done that yet, the role [...]
