Holy Crap!!

No, i couldnt think of a creative title for this wee post, so i just typed what i was feeling!!  Tomorrow is my first Half Marathon!!!  This time tomorrow i will be hovering around a port-a-loo with a nervous tummy standing amped at the start line in my runners waiting for the GO!!

I said in my last post that i would update before the event about my last ditch training attempts.....So i finally got my play list sorted!!  And i found some energy gels too, so il give those a go!!  Im envisioning them giving me an instant energy burst that sends me charging around the course with lightening speed!! (Oh how disappointed i shall be!lol)

Anywho!  Expect pics of my broken and sorry arse after crossing the finish line (i WILL cross that finish line) tomorrow evening....Unless no one brings my computer to the couch, where i shall recline like a stiffened Lady Muck, in which case you'll see them next week some time....after i recover!!

So Ladies and Gents, wish me luck and if you have a moment, send energising thoughts to my thighs and butt so that i can charge up any hills i encounter!!


Toodles!!  :)

'Live for a Life Without Regret'

It's Ok Thursday...On Friday!

So i'v been seeing these 'it's Ok Thursday' posts on different blogs for a while now and thought stuff it, this month im joining in!!  So here it is... Linking up with Amber and Neely for my first 'It's Ok Thursday' post!!

'Its Ok....'

First up, Its Ok that it's Friday!!  Time differences happen!!

That i'v only recently discovered what BFF's actually means! (Certainly not what i thought!!)

That the only make up i know how to apply properly is mascara, and i still poke myself in the eye with the stick/brush bit daily!

To miss my wee monkey-bum when i'v only been away from him for an hour!

That i LOVE Cannulation!!  It's like an exciting challenge each day to find patients with difficult veins and then weedle that line in there!!!

To have a very dry sense of humour!  Even when others dont get it, i still think i'm funny!

TO ACCEPT COMPLIMENTS!!!!

That my hairbrush is seriously neglected....My hair just doesn't seem to tangle!!

That i just tried to run my fingers through my hair to prove my point and they got stuck.....

To memorize the words to entire movies, but not be able to recall my home number!  I mean, how often do you actually call your own number anyway!!

 That i have neglected my housewifely duties in favour of blogging this week!! (My house is a TIP!!)


So there ya go!! Hope everyone's gearing up for a Fantastic weekend!!!

PS:  Check out my new Header!!  Iv got one talented Hubby!!

'Its the Final Countdown...do do do dooo"

In exactly 9 days, i will be completing my first half marathon!!!

(cue shocked laughter and general hilarity)

Hows training going i hear you ask?!..... Oh, you know,   it's going!!  Like slowly! The longest distance iv run to date is 11km!lol  I was intending to do a weekly blog post about training so that i felt like i had some accountability thing happening....Hands up who saw those posts!!  Yeah, i didn't either!

Anywho, i have been doing at least 3 runs each week, so while i wont be motoring around the off road course, i shouldn't die after 1km!  In fact, i know i can run 10km of it so that's a bonus!  Even if i have to crawl walk the last 11 i'l still be happy!  The main thing is finishing it and setting a time to annihilate at the next half!!

Me after a 'Run'!!  Feel the fitness just oozing of me!!

Running has been an interesting companion for me!  Somewhere between my knees, hips, feet and boobs cursing me through every single km, i'v developed a love for it!  Hitting my stride and suddenly feeling...in sync i guess you could say, is the most amazing feeling!! 

Since becoming such a running guru *coughlaughsplutter*  I decided more appropriate attire was necessary, and dragged the hubby off shopping!!  I'm now the proud owner of these pants and this running singlet!! They were kinda pricey, but it's been a chafe free/ride up free experience ever since!!

The Appropriate Attire!

Something that worries me about this half, is that it's off-road!  It's a mountain bike trail that has a lot of pretty hard core hills (Iv heard from a reliable source!) and gravel track!  Now while in my positive moments i see myself as Bella (What do u mean "whose Bella?").  You know, that scene where Alice is seeing her as a vampire, and she's gracefully running through the forest with Edward close behind, hair shifting in the wind, skin glowing not even looking short of breath?? (Not hard i spose, given the fact that she doesn't actually breath!!)

Me on a good day!

This is what i see myself looking like as i race around the 10.55km track twice!!  Probably wont be wearing a dress but that's besides the point!! 

On bad days i see gravel grazes, pine needles in my shoes and me struggling to breathe as i drag my sorry arse up a hill!!  I'm also quite concerned about my ability to stay hydrated and not need the toilet half way around, i don't know how comfy Depends would be for 21km!!

Me on a bad day!

Things still to do in preparation...

#  Compile a play list of amped up music to get me through hopefully, 3 and a bit hours of running!
#  Find an energy gel to boost me halfway through! (i don't seem capable of going 21km without needing sustenance halfway round!)
#  Dry my shoes out (running in thunderstorms is fun!!)
#  Collect my singlet!!  Running for Insynergy!!
#  Find out where the heck the run actually is!!!!

Wish me luck guys!!!



Toodles!!  :)
