let it go

Ahh me, readers please feel free to file yesterday’s post under “monumental whinge”.

As you can tell I was pretty thoroughly fed up with life in general. I guess it happens from time to time.

Cruel and unusual exposure to the works of Celine Dion tends to exacerbate things greatly. I must learn to avoid her in future.

The truth is, life’s pretty good at the moment. I have a new bub and a new job. Things are on the up and up, you might say (if you were my Dad).

I just don’t have much spare time and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to persuade the lovely W. that 30km runs are a valid way of spending Sunday mornings.

The frustrating thing about running is, the wonderful sub-3 hour marathon level of fitness you might have had last October doesn’t last. What takes 6 months to build can be lost in 2 weeks.

Running
A vaguely pleasing 14.2km this lunch-time. Here it is on mapmyrun.com.

Pushups
I’m doing the 100 push up challenge with Andrew. Well, not actually WITH Andrew, I don’t schlep out to his side of town to do push-ups – that would be wierd, just at the same time. I finished week 1 last night.

So far it’s okay. No injuries. I’ve been secretly checking myself out in the mirror, looking for muscles. No sign of them yet, but we live in hope.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who secretly checks himself out in front of the mirror. I got caught doing it this afternoon as I was getting ready to go out for my run – that’s embarrasing.

    Not to worry AJH. We can’t be blamed for casting an appreciative eye over our finely chiselled physiques – we’re only human. Who could resist?

    There better be a few more muscles after doing all these damn pushups!

    LOL at Em’s comment :D

    I’m also getting a bit of flak about the amount of time I’m not spending at home on the weekend due to running commitments.

    I told Hubby that he was more than welcome to come and join me on my long run. He just laughed :roll:

    Ok, so I think I read Em’s comment differently to what it was supposed to mean :oops:
