You know, it really bugs me when people move blogs. You have to update your links and all that mucking around. Makes you wonder why they can't just stay put... except I've gone and done it. Blogger has been pissing me off lately and I've been impressed with the features that Word Press provides. I've moved everything over, just got to update my links and tinker with my layout but that can

I've decided against the boot camp, not because of the money but because I feel like I'm just not up to it at the moment. On top of running and other things, I would be too much and I'd be doing too many things in a half arsed way.Lately I feel buggered most of the time anyway, what with running and gym and work and driving and the cold and my sister and everything else. I did manage to score a

I've got a decision to think about - my local gym runs a boot camp program that costs $100 for 4 weeks (12 sessions) + gym entry of around $50, which is damn fine value for a program like that. The dilemma-ey part is that I'm still a member at Fitness First so I'd be paying membership there and it's not like I'll be using it much, what with 3 boot camp sessions and 4 running sessions a week. So

I've had a pretty lazy weekend, mostly spent getting the laptop up to speed, but headed out for a 7 km run tonight. Simon picked the course - around Royal Park with lots of hills. I was very slow, mostly because I needed a toilet. We'd done one lap and were almost back to Princes Park (and toilets) when Simon decided to change direction. His logic was that we didn't want to run the scary,

My laptop rules. It's speediness means I can do amazing things like play Itunes and do other things at the same time. Woohoo. I haven't tried using the wireless yet but I set up my modem - I thought it would be dead hard because I lost the install Cd (well, it's not lost, just in a box in my storage space.... arggggh!) but I did it. The hardest part of the whole changeover process was that I

We went for a long run today - 15 kms. About half way we passed a laptop shop and I've been looking for one for a while and, even though it was a quick browse, I found the one I want and put it on hold. The salesman had a bit of trouble with the concept that I was in mid run and had no cash or cards on me. He also had trouble with the concept that I didn't want a sales pitch, just a few

Tonight was supposed to be a speed interval session at Princes Park.. ha, ha, that soon got moved inside. We did 2 min fast, 3 min recovery x 5 on the treadie at the gym instead and I'm buggered now. I think I went too hard cos I couldn't maintain my fast speed for the last interval. In November I have to go back to Tassie for my Nan's 95th birthday. I'm determined to be total buff and

I'm so cold. I don't think I've been really warm in the last two months or more. Yesterday at work I was complaining about the cold and one of the woman said she freezes when she gets up of a morning until she puts on the ducted heating. I nearly hit her. If I had ducted heating, I'd be in heaven. Well actually even hell is looking good because it'd be warm. The other day I thought about

Bike rides 4, bike accidents 0 - woohoo!I've not been out on my bike for weeks so headed out while my sister did her walk today. This should give you an idea of cycling prowess - I can ride while she walks and she has chronic fatigue. This kid about 3-4 years old went whizzing past me being all feisty and making me look bad. Then we got across the creek and the kid went tearing down a hill and

I went for a run in my lunch hour at work on Friday. I've never run at lunch time before and it felt weird showering afterwards. I kept thinking OMG, I'm naked at work! Even though we only did a short run, my new shoes rubbed on the back of my foot enough for me to bleeding when I got back! Not good. Hopefully I can sort that would somehow.Next week I'm thinking of knocking off early because

After saying I never do speed intervals, I actually did some last night. I meet up with a friend a Princes Park - god knows I'd have never made it otherwise. It was freezing. We did 3 X 1 km bursts, not all that fast but fast enough. Tomorrow we're meeting up at lunch time for a run from work along Dandenong creek. Pity I can't take a long, long lunch or I could do some City to Surf training

First up, I have an blogging etiquette questions - when people leave comments with questions, should you reply in your own comments section, reply in the comments on their blog (if they have one) or post the reply?

I've had a few people ask about my running program so I thought I'd post a post about what I'm doing. Not that it really warrants a fancy name like a "running program", since it's all pretty simple. The main issue for me, I guess for most people, is to find something that is hard enough to challenge me but not so hard that I risk getting injured. I've found that monitoring the pace I run

After yesterday, I decided no more shopping.... that lasted until I popped into Kmart today. If you buy any clothes you get 70% off the second item! And I got the bestest thing, a really long, butt-covering hoodie. I hate those short hoodies that rid up and freeze your back. I ended up spending $45 and got a turle neck jumper for work (been looking for one for ages), the hoodie, a pair of

This is my new shoe. Well actually I got two of them. It's a Saucony Omni. I'm going to test them out tomorrow.Isn't it a pisser when you spend big bucks on a shoe and then you show everyone but no one who doesn't run is going to get excited about your midsole cushioning.

I registered for the City to Surf and the Melbourne Half today as well as booking flights and accommodation to Sydney. I'm committed. No retreat, baby, no surrender. Oh and I went to Active Feet and got some fancy new running shoes because of all the extra kms I'll be doing. There will be much pre-dawn training around Northcote.

Got up this morning and went for a run because I'm like a superhero! Well that's how I feel when I go running of a morning because I'm so totally not a morning person, not one little bit. Still I jumped out of bed and put on the running gear and headed out. The secret is to get out the door before you wake up fully so you don't think too much about it. I did a 5 km run in 32 mins and managed

Wowsers, what a full on weekend. Saturday I got up early and did some shopping - Target for clothes and then the market. In the arvo, I went for a run around Fairfield Park with a friend. Man, that park is full of hills. I'd planned 13 km but ended up doing 8 or so km, because of the sore heel and having the sniffles (and the hills). Saturday night, my sister and I popped over to Borders. We

The foot is much better now and that makes me very happy. I went for an easy run on Wednesday morning and that did me now harm - if anything, things felt better afterwards. Still I think I should be wary for a while.Thanks Andrew (and others) for the advice on the podiatrist. I actually get one free appointment a year with my diabetes plan and forgot to use my referral so I'm planning to go

I think my sore heel could be a bone spur thingo, according to my self-diagnosis on the net today. Yikes, that would be so hideous. I'm turning into the elephant man! I'll get it checked out at the doctors when I can get an appointment but have decided not to go back to the same doctor at the clinic - the one that said I had a brain aneurysm and broken ribs - both of which were wrong.Still

I planned a before-work run this morning but slept in which is prolly a good thing because, when I did get out of bed, my heel hurt like hell. I think I might have stepped on some glass from the shattered light globe but I can't feel any glass in it. It had better be gone by Wednesday cos my running bud is back from o/seas and we are going on a post-work run.I had my editing test tonight. I

I got out for my run yesterday. What glorious weather for the first weekend of winter. I wanted to do a 12 km run and stick to around a 8 min/km pace. The first 4 kms were niggly and grumpy and blah then I got into a nice zone. Ended up thinking I'd done slower than planned but when I entered it into MapMyRun, I'd done 13 km instead of 12. Go me! I went from home to Princes Park with 2 laps

When I'm not working, I hate weekends. You get used to the peace and quiet of weekdays without many folks around then, come Saturday, there they all are - clogging up the service in my fave cafe, filling the roads, just being around. But, of course, when I am working, I love them. Woohoo, weekend. I'm actually wondering how I can do all the stuff I need to do in just two days though. We went

It's late but I thought I should quickly update. The job is great - nice people, lovely offices, cheapo work canteen, interesting work and even some freebies :)I went for a run before work yesterday but this morning the gale force winds put me off. Instead I popped into Fitness First at Knox - less than 10 mins away from work and, after my workout, the traffic is minimal. I definitely

I went out for my 11 km run yesterday. I so didn't feel like it and started off walking, thinking I'll run soon, I'll run soon. The plan was to run to Royal Park station then back to Princes Park for a lap then home. I hate running the section between Royal Park station and Princes Park with a vengeance - it's got some nasty hills - and was almost tempted to do an extra lap of Princes Park

I've been offered a job pending reference checks. It's a good job, 4-6 weeks with excellent pay and lovely offices. A fair hike out of the city which means driving and therefore no incidental exercise, but I can work around that with gym workouts and such.

Bike riding uses very different muscles to running... ouch, ouch... even different muscles to spin class ... ouch, ouch, ouch!Hey, has anyone else seen those "Free Paris" tee-shirts? I saw a girl wearing one the other day and nearly wet myself. Apparently the whole Free Paris campaign is based on it being wrong to lock her up because she adds beauty and style to the world so some such nonsense.

One interview down, one to go today. I wore my new skirt so that rocks - it's worth having interviews if it means wearing my skirt. I wanted to wear a white cotton shirt with it but, as I've said before, I don't own an iron. I figure it's better not to wear a shirt if it's not ironed so I wore a long sleeved tee-shirt which doesn't look all that corporate but what can you do? Words can't

Today I planned a 5 km run - my training program has "easy" runs and "relaxed" runs. What the hell is the difference? Anyway, still lacking motivating but I forced myself out the door. I got halfway through my run and realised I was making good time so pushed myself and ended up with non-race pb of 31.30 mins for my 5 km run.

Woohoo, that weight's going in the right direction.Lately I've been visited by my old friend, laziness. I'd planned to do a 10 km run on Friday - my long run for the week. Well on Friday I decided to reschedule it for Saturday. Saturday I rescheduled for Sunday. Yesterday I sat around thinking up excuses for not doing it.

I had back to back job interviews. The first one was a shocker. The interviewer told me that I don't sell myself well and come across as lacking confidence. That might be true since I've had a lousy track record with interviews lately but he was a total douchebag about it. He asked me about my skills in different areas and I told him what I'd done in various jobs and the skills I had - what

I'm back to posting my weekly weight because it keeps me honest. I'm down from last week, woohoo! Although my weight was doing weird stuff last week, it's a kg down from the week before too.I did some checking last night and knitting burns 40 calories an hour more than just sitting in front of the telly. If I knit for 10 hours a week then I've burnt enough to eat a Choc Top. That rules.Last

I started knitting my first ever pair of socks last night. I've only got the foot and toes to go. I've done the hard bits like working out how to knit round instead of flat and doing the heel.At first I was freaking out, looking at this pattern with all the weird abbreviations and things so I rang my mum because she's the knitting expert and her words of wisdom were - you know how to knit plain

I went for a run today and felt like I spent half of it screwing around with my iPod. It does this damn annoying thing where even though it's charged, it comes up with a flat battery warning and shuts itself down. Normally if I turn it off then on again a few times it rights itself but the other day it started dead until my sister worked her iPod magic.It's getting worse and I know it's just a

My stupid weight has gone down to 77.7 kgs now. How wack is that?I mentioned a while back that my friend had given me his old bike. I've been waiting until I could afford to buy the accessories - helmet, lock, etc - before picking it up. So yesterday I went up to K-Mart to get them. Because I've got an abnormally small head, I had to get a children's helmet! That's good in the way that I

I got on the scales yesterday and was up to 79.5 kgs. That totally freaked me out. So this morning I tried again - 78.1 kgs! Don't you love that womanly time! Still it's made me realise I've been totally unfocused lately. Far too many treats and goodies. That's stopping right now.Yesterday Andrew gave me my mother's day present. Yeah it was a week early but he's working all next weekend so

Woohoo - it's the weekend. When you aren't working, you don't have weekends, just days where there are more people around. What a week - I've seen a million envelopes and stuffed them all. My hands are a mess of paper cuts. I'm going back on Monday, they have a few things that need finishing off. Hopefully the cuts will have healed by then.I learned something about myself this week.

This working thing is dead hard. It doesn't help that I had a whole heap of stuff to do last night and didn't get done until 10.30 then had to have dinner (Vietnamese soup, the perfect comfort dinner for the overtired) then tonight decided to watch The Godfather. I'd never seen it before, it's an awful long movie.The work itself isn't taxing. It's kinda mundane but I can wear my ipod. I've

I've had a most productive day today. I got up and went for a run then got my morning coffee plus the latest issue of Runners World (featuring a few familiar faces). I finished an assignment for my editing class and did some work on a short story then played some Guitar Hero (finally got my PS2 off Andrew and got it set up). I've gone from not being able to get all the way through a song to

I went to the gym and did a bit of a cardio circuit then headed to the weights room. Well either in the past few weeks of no weight work I've developed slayer strength or else the dumbbells were marked wrong (they had the weight in kgs marked on by hand so I'm guessing something is wrong there). I picked up a 12.5 kg dumbbell to do my one arm rows and it felt like around 7.5 kgs. The most I've

Yesterday I went for a run, the first real run in weeks. Not just a walk with some run breaks but proper running. It felt good. I've missed running.I still haven't had any problems with my leg. I think it's finally on the mend.I'm home from housesitting now. Still didn't work out that coffee machine properly. Oh well, it's not like I'm in the market to buy one any time soon. I did get the

Yesterday I was in full force binge mode - starting with a trip to the market with some tasty treats. Things didn't get really bad through until I came over to my friend's place to house sit. I didn't really plan my food too much but did bring over a chicken burger, figuring they'd have some vegies I could steal to cook up with it. Except they had NO vegetables at all, I'd forgotten they do all

I went for a run yesterday, well mostly for a walk. I'm totally losing fitness at the moment and need to do something about that. I'm wondering if I should start going for shorter runs more often just until I'm able to cope.I got a running program off Lee that looks really good and I'm keen to get started but want to make sure I can run okay before I start. I'm struggling to run 1 km and can

Lately I've been having a problem with snacking when I watch TV so have decided the best way to fix that is by starting some craft projects to keep myself busy. Except I've realised it isn't the watching TV that's the problem. Mostly we watch TV on DVD and it's the bit in between episodes where I feel compelled to get up and make a snack. In the past few weeks we've watched three seasons of 24.

You wanna know what is the stupidest bit of dieting advice ever? When people say not to go to the supermarket on an empty stomach. What are you supposed to do? Stay at home and starve to death? Order in pizza so you can fill up before you go shopping?I guess some people go to the supermarket before their cupboards are bare but that seems like a waste of time to me.The best advice is to not go

Yesterday I was reading a book called 'Do I Look Fat in This?' about body image and feeling fat. The basic premise is that 'fat isn't a feeling', something I've heard before - when we say we feel fat, we mean we are sad or angry or happy, but can't express that, so use fat as a catch-all for our emotional state.I basically believe that but one thing bugged me. She reckons whenever we ask 'do

One of the best things about being an older sister is that you can con your younger siblings into all manner of shit, just to see if they are gullible enough to fall for it. It never gets tired. Like the other day, I talked my sister into letting me cut her hair.Trouble is, the last laugh was hers because, unbeknownst to myself, I'm an awesome hairdresser. She reckons it's the best haircut

Have you ever been walking down the street, feeling rather good about yourself, and you've noticed some guy sitting at the lights watching you? You think to yourself - he's totally checking me out because I'm hot. A couple of days later, you feel like shit. You're walking down the same street and see the same guy in the same car doing the same thing. You think to yourself - he's grossing out

As far as house hunting goes, we'll definitely be looking. I'm just not sure how we'll go - the rental market is meant to be hell at the moment and since neither of us are working it's going to be tough. Still we can only look and apply and see what happens.I guess the reason I think the burbs are quiet is because I used to live in Ormond which was a very quiet suburb. Everyone in our street

Today I spend some time browsing on realestate.com.au. There's been much talk about the rental crisis in Melbourne - rent prices getting higher and places hard to find. Still a girl can dream.When I've thought about moving, it's been to a flat in the inner suburbs. I love the inner burbs and love being able to walk to the city and most other places I have to go. If I did that, I'd be paying a

Because I've been all miserable and grumpified this week, I've neglected to mention the goodness in my life this week.1. My friend bought a new bike and, since they now have a few bikes, he's offered me the old, old one. It's a girl's bike and used to be his sister's. Woohoo! Free bike! Now I just have to get it home. I'll walk or run over to their place and ride it home but I'm awful scared

I'm feeling much more chirpy today. This is despite last night... I just can't NOT bitch about this. My housemate had a friend over and they were running around the house (well more like smashing in his case, he's a huge guy and it's like some giant thundering through the house every time he walks) and she kept yelling in this annoying high pitched voice. I wanted an early night because I was

I've been feeling really uggh lately... anxious and stressed and icky. Not like anything's really wrong, but nothing's really right either. Not working and not having money and all manner of things all tied up together, plus I've not been able to write for the past month or so. I feel like that bit inside me where the words are has all dried up and every time I think about writing, I just

Sometimes I do some really dumb things. I had to go to Preston Market. I have friends coming over for dinner tomorrow and wanted the homemade pasta they sell (I won't eat other pasta now because it's totally inferior). Normally I avoid the market on Saturdays because it's a madhouse but couldn't make it earlier in the week so I got up at 7.00 planning to be there before everyone else except

My sister and I are off to see the Lemonheads tonight. I've wanted to get tickets since the tour was announced but couldn't afford it but today we decided - bugger it, we're going to be poor either way. So we have tickets and we're leaving shortly.

You know what rocks my world? Andrew is loaning me his PS2 and he's going to borrow Singstar from a friend. Woohoo... not just entertainment but revenge on the housemates. They totally deserve it.

I went to the session at the City Baths tonight. No one else showed up for the run except Simon and I so we had a one on one with the run leader (well two on one to be exact but that sounds vaguely dirty). She said there were a few routes we could run including Princes Park. After we finished screaming, we told her we've run there a bit too much lately.We could have done some speed training

I had to rush my post yesterday so didn't get to say all I had to say. One of the things I'm finding hard about looking for work now is that it's been so long that I have a 6 month gap on my resume that I have to explain. When it's only a few months, you can say you've been having a break but 6 months is much harder.I've been saying that I had to look after my sister because she's been sick.

I've had a busy week of running around - interviews and errands and stuff like that. I've got another interview tomorrow then I'm going to the City Baths for a run. They are having an open day where you pay a gold coin donation that goes to the Children's Hospital and you can do any of their classes. You also get a week's pass to use their gym. More details here if you are interested.Not sure

Yeah, I put on weight. Wasn't expecting that after a week of no exercise (other than the run yesterday) and much snack food. It's done and over... time for new resolve.I had an interview today for a short contract in Ringwood. Can you believe I actually had to look up where Ringwood is on a map? I've only lived in Melbs for around 15 years. I knew it was kinda Eastish. Shouldn't be too hard

Therefore this might be a very long and rambling post!I did it, folks. That pesky leg didn't pain at all during the run (the other one did though) and I made it.

I didn't get to be home alone. My housemate decided not to go out. Boo! Hiss! I have to tell you what he made for dinner tonight because it had me speechless. He put a heap of butter into a frypan then got two crumpets and coated them with butter then fried them and added ham and cheese to the top! Those poor crumpets couldn't have absorbed another gram of butter if they'd tried.Meanwhile I

I've decided I'm going to run on Sunday. My leg WILL be better by then. I refuse to let it not be better. I really believe that when you decide these things, it works. Like when I had my gall bladder operation, I had complications afterwards and they wanted to go back in for exploratory surgery but I was sick of people cutting me up so I decided I'd get better.

I'm feeling pretty down and sorry for myself today. My leg and hip are feeling worse to the point where I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to run on Sunday. At the moment, I'm resting it lots. I'm not sure if ice will help or if it's too late for that but I've been using Norofen gel. The trouble with Nurofen gel is that you feel a bit better when you use it but then about 12-18 hours

I do not like donuts. I can't remember even the last time I tried them. I can remember going to the Dandenong market with my mum and sister as a kid (so I must have been in grade one or two since that's when we lived in Dandenong) and she'd buy donuts for herself and my sister and I'd chuck a huge spazz because I wanted a different treat. I'd never, ever eat the donuts because I hated them.So

Argghhh, I've put on a kilo this week and I know why... too many snack foods. We've been watching Angel on dvd pretty intensely (like a whole season in 3 days) and snacking out on sugary treats while doing so. Not good. I can't believe I've never watched Angel before. Andrew also said it was better than Buffy but his reasoning was that the fight scenes are better. He never mentioned psychic

Is there some legal defense you can use when killing your housemates? Like say if they are drunken yobs who come home EVERY night around 2 am and wake you up so that you get to the point where you can't fall asleep before 2 am any more? Say if they walk down the hallway ogre-like shaking the house on it's foundations? And why is it that our water pipes make the most godawful racket whenever you

I'm kinda regretting not going to my old massage place still I'm all relaxed and about to drop asleep now.It's awful windy outside. I hate the wind. I have to walk down to Fitzroy which bugs me.

This morning I had the most awful run. The plan was to run to Princes Park, meet Simon and do 3 laps then run home, making it 16 km in total. Well I run to Princes Park okay but when I got there I could have quite happily gone back home to bed. The first lap took forever with walk breaks and stretch breaks and toilet breaks. I didn't time it but it felt like a long, tough time. The second lap

The other night I had a dream - I went to the Run for the Kids and they made us do the entire course as a practice before we started. My feet hurt after that and I wanted to go home and change my shoes but I didn't have time. Arrrgghhh!

I got up with morning planning to go for a run but it was raining and I don't want to run in the rain so thought about going back to bed until the rain finished when I heard a knock at the door.When out and it was the owner's grandson (just to confuse issues, I think the dude at the door is actually half owner of the house but they don't say that because they like to play

It's 10 years today since Buffy first aired. I'm going to celebrate by slaying something tonight... maybe one of my housemates.I'm actually starting to think that my house is built on a hellmouth. The other day the house moved so none of us can lock our bedroom doors. I know old houses move and settle but that much in such a short period?I don't like not being able to lock my door because our

A decent 700 gram loss this week. I'm happy with that - I did well most of the week but kinda lost it on Friday and Saturday. Especially Saturday when I went to Daylesford for my run, couldn't stop eating all day.I did okay with the cutting back carbs. Sort of. It's hard, really hard. You forget how many carbs there are in the world! Like apples - full of carbs. And coffee - lots of carbs

Yesterday we went down to Daylesford for a fun run - Run for your Life.We had to call into Bunnings on the way and so I HAD to have a sausage from the sausage sizzle stand, it's the rules you know. But I didn't have one after the run so it evens out, kinda.I got to the run and - oh yeah, you'd better skip this part if you are at all delicate about bodily functions - I needed to poo. I went to

I've just been for a run. It's deceptively muggy outside - I thought it would be quite cool but I sweated like a sweaty thing. I'd been planning to a tempo run at Princes Park today but then realised I'm doing the fun run at Daylesford tomorrow, so just did an easy 5 km around the block instead. I'll do the harder session on Sunday. When I was seeing my PT at the gym, she made me do this

The interview went well yesterday, but could have been better. I'd have given myself about a 70%. Now it's a case of waiting and seeing. Had another interview today for a different job and an interview with a temp agency tomorrow. Oh I was also contacted last week about a 2 year contract with a very major IT company, so waiting to hear about that and then yesterday got a call about a job -

I forgot to mention in my last post, I'd been mucking around with a running calculator, to get estimated times for different distances. I found it interesting that the pace it said I should be running for long runs is faster than I normally run while the pace I run for shorter ones is slower. That is pretty much what I'd have thought and it's all mental.When I set off on a longer run, I think

Yesterday I went for a run at Princes Park, a nice easy one and managed 6 km. Then we decided to do another km to finish off and I wanted to see how fast I ran do 500 metres. The other day I said I didn't think I could ever run a km in under 5 mins but I did 500 metres in 2.19 mins so who knows? I kinda shocked myself with that. Tomorrow we're doing a long run, trying to cover 15 kms before

Down a little bit this week. Should have been more but I ate too well this weekend. I went to a bbq at a friend's house on Saturday night and I just can't resist cheeses.My challenge for this week is to cut back on carbs. I'm not doing anything stupid like going low carb, not with the amount of running I've been doing lately. I just want to get back to regular carbs instead of insanely high

This morning my friend, Simon, and I headed over to Coburg for a fun run put on by the Coburg Harriers. We got there and everyone looked intimidatingly fit but we did a few laps around the athletic track to warm up and tried not to look too daggy.Everyone started very fast and I got caught up in so was out of oomph by the first km (we were doing the 6 km run). I slowed down and kept going. I

Run for the Kids training again this morning. We'd planned to do the long run (11 km) but I got there after a late one last night plus some niggles and aches from increased training this week and got tempted by the shorter (km) course. We finished that and felt like slackers so did a second lap. Afterwards, I still felt slack as. But I think that's a good thing - I'd rather do 8 km and feel

I got my shoes - I ended up with Adidas Supernovas. They are very bouncy and best of all, they don't squish my toes. I tried to explain to my sister how my Nikes make my feet feel - it's like they are going OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH with every step. But sometimes its each individual toes going - ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... you really need to hear me say that with my piggy toe wheeeee voice to

I forgot to mention that I also went for a run last night. My friend Simon had entered the Sunset Series at the Tan so I went down to run with him. We parked on the other side of the tan track so we did a 2.5 km warm up run beforehand and 1.5 cool down back to the car, making it 12 km in total.After Bathsheba's comment on my last running post, I've set myself a challenge. I'm going to create a

I checked out the Converse outlet today - thanks Jaykay for the head's up, I'd have never thought of going there cos I assumed it's all Chuck Taylors and stuff. I tried the Grid Triumphs - I'd forgotten which ones you said but my sister said to get them cos they are triumphs - and also some pink ones. I did like the Triumphs. Anyway I got two real ego strokes - first they had a chart to see

Today I had a happy day, not just an absence of sadness day but a really happy one.I went into the bank this morning to yell at them, cos the cheque I've been waiting to clear still hadn't. Before I could even get mad, the girl said it was wrong and fixed it up for me. Woohoo! Then I kept walking into the city. I looked through a couple of the outlet shops in Smith St and I reckon I can get a

I feel like I'm just dicking around when it comes to weight loss, making a half arsed effort. I wanted to get down to 70 kgs before the Run for the Kids. Now it's less than 4 weeks away so I guess that won't be happening. I feel like I'm not running as good as I did this time last year, which is crazy because I'd only been running a few months then, but I'm having a trouble with any kind of

Well after the big rush, we had no more customers. It wasn't even a big rush really, just a couple who bought a lot. I reckon they do garage sales and resell stuff because they seemed to be looking for specific things but who cares - we got their dough.We seemed to get lots of old Italian men - not sure if that's because old Italian men love garage sales or because of the Scarface posters I

So far only one sale but I've developed a song and dance routine. My song goes like this:Come to our garage sale, you won't regret it, you won't regret it. Come and buy our stuff. There's bargains galore, its walking out the door. You won't regret it. You won't regret it.A man said my dance was lovely but he didn't buy anything.One hour to go. I hope there's a last minute rush.

My sister and I are having a garage sale today, but not until this afternoon because we don't like dealing with people in the mornings. We made some pretty posters last night to stick up around the place. Hopefully many people will come and buy stuff but I have an awful feeling they won't. We are relying on foot traffic so we need to attract attention but we have to set up on the verandah so

I went to the Tan this morning for the R4TK training run. Simon and I did the 10 km run and yet again lagged behind the others. Still we did it without too many walk breaks even. Towards the end, I started walking. Simon wanted to run but I told him I was saving myself for the Anderson Street hill. I've never made it up that hill without stopping or walking.I've actually felt like I have bad

I've been feeling pretty down this week, in case you hadn't noticed. Mostly about money. Things are pretty close to the wire here. I had enough money in the bank to tide me over until next week but totally forgot I had insurance coming out of my account. Arrrghhh! I've gotten some money for clothes I sold on ebay and swore I'd not touch it because I need to buy running shoes, but I think I'm

You'd think going for a run was a simple affair - get dress, go - nothing more than that. Well, I've got a handy tip. Check your outfit before leaving home.I got to the Run for the Kids training run tonight and set off running then noticed my t-shirt. I'd not changed it. Then I looked down the neck of my t-shirt and realised I'd not put on my running bra. Oops! My head hadn't been in a

I'm feeling much better today, though I'd prolly feel even better if some pesky mosquito hadn't been buzz around me all night. How come you can't sleep through the sound of a mosquito? Damn things.The interview went kinda well yesterday. I don't have all the skills they need but the girl from the agency is going to talk to them about me because she thinks the skills I do have are so strong,

You know who sucks - me. I've put on 1.2 kg this week. I don't even know how that happened. Well apart from not exercising enough and eating too much. I really don't have to overeat much to put on weight and that sucks.I haven't been running since the Sunset Series the other night because I'm scared I'm going to get sick again and that sucks. The Run for the Kids is in less than 5 weeks and
