Over the last two days I have been sort of forced to watching the Lympics, pretty much because everyone else in the household was when I went home, but WOW! How very inspirational! Is it that girls can run marathons in their knickers? Is it their abs? Is it because when that Jessica girl won gold I cried? And when some Kiwi man who looked like the "Other Angry Dolphin" won a heat (a heat, just a freaking heat) I also cried? Or is it when the British runners who maybe don't have the physical make up of maybe the Kenyan ones, but put their determined face on and give it a lash, that it is sooo exciting? Anyway, I hate the telly, but I am loving the Lympics.
In other news - last week I spent THREE FULL DAYS cooped up in a classroom, with no ventilation, no fluids and no escape. Maybe that's an exaggeration, as there was water and coffee and I brought copiuous amounts of Pepsi Max and don't get me wrong, the course was fascinating, but sitting still for three whole days really challenged me. AND I didn't get to the gym AND they kept feeding us. So week of feeling fat and yucky, despite all my good work over the last few months. However, today I redeeemed myself with a FABULARSE run, little bit of bitumen, little bit of trail, some hills, lots of steps, felt really good and strong and wonderful the whole way. Could eat for Ireland now though.
I've upped the PT sessions for August to three a week to see how that goes. Loving it still, so it can't hurt. Still hoping to work up to half marathon distance for the Hidden Half. Would be a nice little achievement. Work is a challenge, all our jobs are being advertised and the days of being a well paid contractor are soon to be over. Who knows what the future will hold? Having learnt by the last few years not to worry about that, but just be good, be kind, be humble, be compassionate and look my oqn health, I am sure I will be fine. In the meantime I have to phone the police on Monday and make a work related confession. Which is way more pressing to me at the moment!!
