Personal Best


So Saturday is always a work day for me. As far as work goes it's always crazy busy in the morning then in the afternoon it's so quiet, you have nothing to do and then you get really bored! We have internet access at work though so you can always find stuff to muck around with online. Some things are blocked though like this site, so I can't blog at work, and also my yahoo mail isn't accessible, but that's ok, most things are available.

So anyway after work on Saturday I decided to go for a run around the river. Up until the previous Thursday I'd been stuck at running 5km, and was having a really hard time pushing past that boundary. So on Thursday I managed to run 5.6km and was totally thrilled! On Saturday I thought I'd push it a bit further and shocked myself by running 7km! So that run had 3 pretty decent hills...and here's a weird thing, I like running up hills! It's completely bizarre, and all so out of character for me, but I love it!

I think I've told almost everyone I know that I have run 7km. It's not to brag, but more because I still can't quite believe it myself, and have to repeat it for the idea to sink in!

Turns out ideal running pace for me is either to anything Shpongle or Fdel. I'd never admit Shpongle to my flat mate Alex, as he's totally in love with Shpongle. As much as I do like shpongle, I can't manage to listen to them 24/7, which is how it would be if Al had his way. Good thing for me, Al's not into blogs, and he'll never read this.

Sunday was a very pleasant day spent with friends to 'watch the footy', Eagles vs. Dockers. We didn't really watch very much of it, but enough to know the Dockers won which is good. Even though I'm not a footy fan, I am a Freo girl through and through.

Ben my other flat mate and I went to see a movie in Fremantle that evening, and we saw the funniest thing. A taxi was driving some guy around Freo doing 'bog laps' so he could wave an Eagles flag around! I almost wet my pants it was so funny!

That's quite a jump from 5 to 7km but I think 5km is the hump. I think Mark said ages ago that's a building block and I found it to be true.

Time to find the next 5km fun run and enter :) Seriously!!

I think there is a 6km Cockburn one around Bibra Lake in a few weeks. I might look into that one as a start.
But I'm just happy knowing I can run 7 km!
