Important Questions....

1. Do sit ups still work if you've had a few voddies?
2. Why does Old Age give you whiskers? (and not the cat food variety)
3. Should I look at my bank balance after this weekends throwing of caution to the wind?
4. How do you pronounce Ginkgo Biloba?
5. Will I get my shit together enough to get a strap for my Garmin, and my roots done before Saturday?

All rhetorical questions, given I know the answer to most with the exception of number 4.

Spent the day doing things that please me, namely running, eating, drinking coffee and shopping with friends.  Now drinking Vodka.  Grey Goose for those playing at home.  So have the glow of someone who found the most perfect Georgio Armani Jacket in a Vintage Store and the most well fitting work suit ever in the same place.  Finally I have found somewhere I can take my "mistakes" and trade them in for other mistakes.  I started mentally packing them up as I was perusing the store.  I love going out with Karon because she knows where to shop, period. 

Running.  Oh happy happy days, it seems to be going ok!!!  Today I got up all of my own accord, not responsible for meeting anybody or having to be anywhere at a certain time and was out the door before 7.30 and running 14kms of my own volition.  Yes I think my Mojo has returned.  AND I did the 14km at an avg pace of 6:18 which for me is really quite fabularse, given I have not really run much for an Ice Age.  And yesterday I ran with Simon again, that 10km hilly, steppy bush / trail run, and I hate to say it, but it was rather satisfying to hear him pant and puff whilst I was breathing normally.  Ok ok when he gets fit he will shit all over me (figuratively speaking of course, unless he takes a dose of Xenical) because he is a fast little so and so when he is fit, but it is nice to be able to run at the same speed as him and not feel like I am having a small coronary.  The way he is going, it will not be long till this day comes but I am enjoying it whilst I can.....

So, it is four weeks till the Blackmores Half, so I have a few more long runs to do, but have to say, I am loving it, the legs feel strong, the fitness feels good, and it is helping my mood no end.  I am starting to feel normal again, and that is JUST FECKING WONDERFUL!
