The Running Bug

April 7, 2011 · 7 comments

So, the plan is to slowly increase my running time and distances until I can do 10km. Hopefully BEFORE May 8…

This means some early mornings now that there’s not really light after work! Early cold mornings where I debate whether to wear long pants or shorts, jumper or not, putting contacts in early because my glasses suck to run in, deciding whether to wear sunglasses even though the sun isn’t quite out yet. There are a lot of women’s sunglasses that so do NOT suit my face!

Case in point:

Free sunglasses with Marie Claire
(no, not these sunglasses)
(yes, I look like a bug)
(yes, my shoulders look WEIRD here)

But the running sessions need to be done, if I’m to not humiliate myself and to do my sponsors justice. ;)

I’m pleased to say that I have TWO sponsors for the fun run now, even if one of them IS my mum! ;) I’d of course love it if you’d contribute! It’s for a good cause! (and tax deductible! That’s like making the government donate!)

I need to get to bed earlier though if I’m going to be able to keep up with myself! I got up yesterday morning well enough, but my tummy wasn’t in the mood to be shaken around by early morning movement, so I wound up just doing one block on one block off – running for one block, then walking the next. Not a great session, but better than nothing. Plus I still needed to get home!!!

*yawns*

How do you convince yourself to get to bed early?

What sleep patterns?

August 9, 2008

I figured out the secret to beating jet-lag. Just never establish a routine sleeping pattern. Go to bed at 9 one night, dance til dawn the next. Get up at 5am a day or so after you’ve gone to bed at that same time. Or not. It sounds like a good way to get yourself [...]

Paid for that

July 1, 2008

Ughhhhhhhh. Had the most struggling day I’ve had at work for ages yesterday… I was meant to have early nights on Saturday, but didn’t, and then again on Sunday I was in bed early… and had every intention of crashing out by 9:30pm, but someone didn’t let me :p So then I hit work yesterday. [...]

Sleep? What Sleep?

June 29, 2008

Had a lovely weekend *grins* I finally watched Fight Club on Friday night. Excellent movie (not partial to the beating in of heads, but you know, have to deal with it to get the rest of it). Can say that I’ve seen it :) And could return the DVD to a friend we’d borrowed it [...]
