Just a quickie

* I am still alive.....just can't be bothered with this blog anymore. It feels more like a chore on my "To Do" list than anything else. I will keep it here for a while and see how I feel about it then.
* Blackmores half marathon was on Sunday. Such a hot day made it a hard slog and I came home about 4 mins over the time I was aiming for. At least I came home healthy because I saw many people passed out, on drips or covered in vomit along the course. The most carnage I have ever witnessed in a race. I had such a great time cheering with the Coolrunning cheersquad for about 4 hours after I finished my run. Those marathon finishers are legends!
* I also did the Noosa half marathon about 4 weeks ago. I got a half marathon PB of 2:07:XX, which I was ecstatic about. I think this result had given me a false sense of hope for the Blackmores. Oh well, you live and learn. The sunshine coast is such a beautiful place, especially Mooloolaba. I have a new-found love for this area of the world now. When I went there on my honeymoon about 4 and a half yaers ago I didn't enjoy it. If I had a job there, I would move tomorrow!
* J and I are considering entering the Melbourne half in 3 weeks time to redeem ourselves, as he was not happy with his result either. J will make a decision on that today, depending on what the financial "damage" of such a last minute weekend will be.
* It was my bday just over a week ago. It was not a great day. I had High Tea for lunch and it was so incredibly expensive and left me starving!!! I did get some good pressies though....a beautiful white gold bangle from J and some Gucci sunglasses from my Mum and sister (the money to buy them anyway!).
* Work is still very boring and does not mentally stimulate me at all. I will see how I feel when I get back from my month's leave in Dec and make a decision about whether I should look elsewhere. Perhaps I just need a good break! I am just really sick of being on-call 24 hrs a day seven days a week and having no proper back up for holidays, etc.
* Summer is coming....thank God! As soon as it begins to warm up I instantly become so much more positive. Daylight savings is only a few weeks away too...yay!

Over & Out
