Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Do you recall Linda Evangelista (former ubermodel) once uttered the quote, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day"? I had a similar thought this morning ("I don't wake up for less than 10km") when I considered my run session................in store for me today was an easy peasy lemon squeezy 30 minute run @ easy pace.........I got up and headed out the front gate with the pooch and we set off around the neighbourhood.
Great way to start the day :)

Rip van Winkle has nothing on me!

Seriously I am getting more sleep than Rip van Winkle but even with such sensible amounts of slumber under my belt, getting up to go running isn't getting any easier........I am going to blame end-of-term-itis! Hill run for 60 minutes done for the day...................
See you tomorrow :)

And for those that have asked about my puffy feet and my dilemma of what shoes to wear to the wedidng - crisis averted - my ogre feet went down so I could once more see bones and veins in my feet and the shoes that I had bought to wear to the wedding fit my feet like Cinderella's slippers and took me effortlessly through the garden wedding and function! Phew!

Head Junk

Apparently one person's junk is another person's treasure.................however I am not sure that anyone (other than the dog!) would want the junk I am blowing from my head! Off to Sydney in a tick for a wedding this afternoon....................alarm went off at 4am but I had been awake thinking of work stuff since midnight as well as blowing my nose and I just couldn't find my way to get up......so trying to not beat myself up about missing the session...................have packed a second pair of heels to wear to the wedding - I almost had a meltdown last night when I looked at my feet and instead of being able to see the veins and bones as per normal, I saw fat puffy feet.................fat puffy feet that DID NOT fit into the fabulous dusty pink platform slingbacks that I had bought to wear to the wedding. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH............seems you cannot have summer weather in Mlebourne without a pay off and that pay off for me was puffy feet! I tried on another pair of shoes but broke the zip doing them up AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH.......................So I have hopefully averted a disaster and have packed a second pair of platform heels that should see me through the wedding if my feet remain as distorted as they were last night!

Trying to breathe through a doona

It truly felt like I was trying to suck in air through a doona on this morning's run along the day.............chest is full of gunk from the head cold but I managed to get the run done with all the associated heavy breathing and gasping! 12.51km later and I am happy I pushed through :)

Time Poor

Just sitting down as the day finishes and I realised that I hadn't even had time to write about today's run (nice and short, 30 mins!) and yesterday's run (60 minutes of hills)......so there you have it..............tomorrow's run tomorrow......................heading to Sydney on Saturday for a wedding which menas I get to debut a gorgeous new pair of heels......watch this space!

Ain't no fun in run

The Sussans fun run ( Sussans fun run) happened this morning and I have been registered for quite some time to do the 10km run...................I figured it was a nice change from the long distance running events that I have been doing.......................the training for it from my coach has been just as demanding and intense as the endurance training but the thought of finishing the run in about 50 minutes (instead of hours like a marathon takes) was my motivation.................however after some incredibly trying times at work in recent weeks my immune system has taken a beating with stress and of course this weekend my body has happily invited some bug/germ to reside in my body................so the fun run was skipped and I stayed indoors blowing my nose feeling sorry for myself....................anyone need a Rudolph the Reindeer impersonator for your Christmas party?

Short run

Good morning everyone. My news for today is:
On Friday morning we got up, got dressed and took the pooch for a 40 minute run near Port Melbourne. We saw the sun rising in the sky. It was lovely. Nothing else really happened.
The End :)
