* Not sure if I have mentioned the Striders 10K I did at Olympic Park where I came LAST!??!!! It was run on a wet morning which obviously kept the slower runners away and I finished in 62:55, which secured me the wooden spoon. This was the worst thing ever for my ego but, in all honesty, Striders was probably a bit out of my league. Despite this, I will run Striders again when I am sure I can do a sub-60.
* Due to my faster than usual pace at the Coolrunning 5K, I have now injured my hip. I think it must be the hip flexor or ITB?? The pain gets worse the more I exercise, which should tell me to rest it but I am scared to rest. I will see a physio about this one as I don't like the feeling of being injured at all.
* I did my 2nd session of Fitness First Boot Camp this morning.....in pouring rain mind you! I was so smothered in sand at the end that I had to shower at the beach in all my clothes to get the sand off before driving home in my undies! I am so glad I live on a main road....people must have thought I was crazy when I got out of the car to run inside. My sore hip made today pretty painful and I have gone from being one of the fitter people in Monday's session to one of the worst today. Boot Camp seems pretty good and was cheaper than I expected. I hate the early mornings but at least I get my exercise out of the way early.
* Weight is still OK - for me - and I will get it down a few more kgs before my holiday (or during as is usually the case with an Asian holiday).
* Counting down the days until Thailand/Singapore.....6 weeks to go.
* I am seeing "Spirit of the Marathon" in a couple of weeks time and I cannot wait! This will get me really pumped for next year! It's so funny how things can change....a few years back I would have died at the thought of watching a movie about running and now that's something I love.
* Here is a little piccie of the Noosa Half in August....
