The above run was done in the rain. Now that takes dedication and I not sure I got what it takes. On the way back I ran through the sproting fields and I got to tell you it was wet and joggers are not water proof. Something I can recommend is a "Rainbird stowaway jacket" they compact down really little and keep you dry. So lightweight. Google it!

I am so exhausted. I have not been doing so well with food and have been eating a bit of takeaway which is really not good for the cause. Tomorrow I will do better.

Endomondo Walking Workout: "was out walking 2.66 km in 1h:13m:22s using Endomondo." it was actually 4.2km phone could not pick up the 3G

Minnamurra Rainforest

Today we did the Minnamurra Rainforest Walk, 4.2 km. Alot of it is up hill. Damn near killed me, however I kept the smile on my face becausse the scenery was lovely, my 5 yo loved it and my 11 yo hardly whined. Coming back was fabulous and the lil dude nearly ran the whole way down and he asleep tonight.

I have downloaded Couch to 5K application onto the ipod touch and tomorrow I will try it. Hopefully DD will be with me ;-).

Today was the city to surf, I have no desire to run it but maybe that will change by next year and I will be more excited to have a go, My sister in law did it today, I hope she blitzed it!!!!!!!!!

Till tomorrow ;-)

Day 2. Good Habits. Operation waistline.

Well, Darling daughter and I got out there this afternoon and pounded the bike track. We walked, then jogged etc. Felt good. Probably 3-4 km. Forgot my phone so I could track it.

My other goal is to get my waistline down to 80cm, at the moment it is 100cm, 1kg of weight lost = 1cm off your waist approx. Is that right Lorna?

And please someone help me to understand...when is it right to assume that if someone has a tummy they are pregnant? I must be asked at least twice a week. What's it all about?

Anyway day 2 over. Get up tomorrow morning and do some more running with my girl.

New Habits

Today my lovely daughter and I got up early and took the dog for a walk. So what? Well today is the first day of my new habit.

Running. (well walking, then running.)

I want to be a runner.

I want to be one those people that "go for a run".

Endurance, I have never really had any. My hubby, he was born with endurance. He is fit, trim and doesn't have to try. He works hard. He works long hours. He is amazing. I feel permanently exhausted. I try not to say it out loud, because then I will feel it...does that make sense? If I sit on the lounge I will fall asleep.

So my lovely friend Michelle set me a challenge. Lets do a 4km fun run. Its in September and I have about 6 weeks to train for it. Shit. I said yes to her and now I have to do it. I told hubby, but he used to me not following through on stuff.

So Sunday, I did a little bit of running/walking and today I did 4km walking the dog. I think tomorrow I will run/walk the same distance...no dog to slow me down.

Today 84kg.

I would like to be under 80kg by 19 September, 2010 the family fun run day.
