But, a little positivity. Not my forte as you all know, however ill give it my best shot:
- I've given up drinking (tis only Tuesday...but hey...not a bad start ;-) )
- Managed to run just over 8 miles tonight. Yes its not the quickest, but dudes....8 miles?! (Please see attached run meter...I do feel I have to attach proof for some of you..please also see where I got lost. Oh yes, Alice can even get lost on a straight road....the shame.....http://j.mp/fdOtL3 )
- Erm...well, I've noticed my "Bum Bag" as described in an earlier blog doesnt actually move quite so much....
- And finally, I'm pretty sure the amount I'm sweating is not normal, but am praying this will eventually mean weight loss...please God let there be some benefit to this other than it being possibly the "greatest achievement of my life"....bla bla bla...I want at least a lolly pop head after this.
So...even though I am feeling slightly more upbeat...Im still not overly positive for..you know......the other one I have to do.....and my flat mate has confirmed that for me this evening..
HIM: "Did you run back?"
ME: Red faced and very sweaty.."Yeah (light and breezy..control your breathing Alice)..I actually ran a bit longer than normal for my sins!" *wanting a high five at this point*
HIM:"Well so you should be. Its not long to go you know"
And alas he's right. Its not long to go, but I will stand by this comment. I will succeed and I will finish the big jog I am doing. Yes it will be a rubbish time and I will never do it again. But I'll do it. And of course I'll be updating my status every step of the way....well I've got to. Apparently theres no darn traffic? So now I cant run and pray for the red man to appear so I can stop for a bit, and lean on the traffic lights as I do. Whose stupid idea was that eh?
Anyway.. heres to a ten miler on Sat.....lets see....
Love and blisters xx
