running

And just Go.

March 1, 2011

It’s that time of year when my gym membership runs out, and the line to renew it is daunting. But instead of waiting and sulking, I ditched my bag in my locker and set out across the uni. Down to the National Museum. Didn’t really care where I was headed, I just wanted to make [...]

Protein-eriffic Curry (and legs of steel)

February 27, 2011

After a much needed run, and a short but tough gym session with Rish (Bench Presses and Leg Presses *dies*) went past the supermarket to gather the ingredient to make Lisa’s 6 Cs Curry… except I made it with chicken for extra protein-y goodness, and no cauliflower because there was only one which looked a [...]

October 17, 2010

Ran outside today, from ANU union, past the dish and the colleges and to the boathouse where you can hire things and back. Feet hurt a little, and had to contend with the fluff, but it was lovely to get out. The hill was a killer! Needed it, after the presentation yesterday, and various other [...]

All But Summer

November 18, 2009

Went for some sprints this morning on the oval near work. Does it not surprise you by looking at the picture above at how dead the grass is, that the ground was hard as rock, and we moved to the soft soft bitumen of the road instead?

Summer's Creeping Up

November 9, 2009

I do believe my arms are slightly pinker than usual, and my spots (freckly spots!) are coming out, so summer must be here! Look at the freckles! (ignore the look on my face, and the shiny head. But the freckles! No idea how freckly I’ll be by the time summer is actually here!) Summer means [...]
