Now that I am soon to be an umemployed bum, I have had to reshuffle my priorities. My gym membership was already on hold as a result of total inactivity :(
Ok I can do this exercise thing again. I drove in my car to measure the distance to my second closest pub...why I live so close to a range of public drinking places is another story. Anyway it was 1.5 km there so obviously it was 1.5km back.
I have been told that running outside is easier. I find it harder. The thin winter air constricts my airways, it is cold and I always feel like the paths are on a slant? Stop making excuses I say to myself, so I hit the bike path that runs parallel for ever along the railway line. I alternated running with brisk walking on the way down, still conscious of my niggly leg. Got into a rhythm with Killers music, then had to abruptly stop to walk and fiddle with my MP3 player as Bindi Irwin music started...forgotten I had put that on for Kelstar.On the way back I was doing the whole Julia Roberts singing in the bath thing with Foo Fighters...that Dave Grohl is just sooo cool. Frightened a little old lady on her electric scooter with my loud singing of Long Road to Ruin.
More walking on the way back than running as the day was beautiful (though cold) and I just enjoyed the passing scenery.
Strange how I got to the pub a lot quicker than I got back. Nothing much has changed in 20 years!!
Post-it note stuck to my forehead...must get back into training for some fun runs...I have a serious case of winter podge!
PS - I have gone the total chop at the hairdressers tonight...gone for the sporty, cutesy style in a great dark shade...I love the freedom of wearing my hair how I like it, being able to dag around in my trakky pants and eating leftovers any night of the damned week that I please
No job but bloody happy :D
