My Week and Life in Review!

Month - 19.4
YTD - 97.4

Wednesday 1 Feb
I bought a new pair of shoes, I had a basic pair of Asics 1100 which were good for about 2 months but they just became very spongy. So I went and bought a pair of Asics Evolution, they are good for moderate over pronators so hopefully they will be much better. Since my sad effort on Sunday I have done some cycling and weights. I wanted to give the shoes a run and also get some sort of training in for the biggest run of my life. I aimed to go to the track and run 10k on grass but when I got down there a million little people where doing athletics. I decided to go to Phils run group, which is a couple of groups of varying levels that run for 1 - 1.5 hours around the suburbs. I ran with the second group who said they were going for 65-70 mins. At around 15K I decide to ease up and walk as a cool down with another runner who was suffering cramps. I was pretty puffed by this stage and was glad to walk, I was also very happy with the shoes. We ended up covering the 15K in a little less than 75mins.

Thursday 2 Feb
At work today we had our fitness test, I however am exempt from doing this until I finish my recovery program. I decided to slowly jog around the run track and help any of the stragglers that find it difficult to pass. I helped a couple out by pacing them but some still failed unfortunately.The test is 2.4 K in a set time depending on sex and age and isn't very difficult, some people just don't put in enough effort during there own time to remain fit enough to pass.

Tonight was track I aimed to go slow to keep some sort of energy for Saturday. The session was 8 x 500m, however I just done 1/2 the session and watched the remainder and talked to Phil. It was quite relaxing watching people run around :) The numbers were quite good aswell, some younger people turned up who showed some good speed towards the end.

Session
4 x 500m 1.52, 1.50, 1.50, 1.40

I have been quite slack, Go Girl 'tagged me' over a week ago and I still haven't answered the questions so here goes.


What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was actually still at school, just began my last year (Yr 12), not knowing what I was going to do after I finished. I completed all my education in Sydney, around the Penrith area which was my home for the first 18 years of my life.

Five snacks I enjoy?
I love my peanut butter sandwiches, it has to be on fresh bread and the peanut butter really thick
Tim Tams, or the liquid version from Gloria Jeans - Tim Tam Milkshake
Hot chips
Banana Muffins
I better add some healthy stuff so Bananas and recently plums are good.

Five Songs I know
Im pretty adamant that I know every song on the radio when in the car, however my wife begs to differ and says that I just make my own lyrics up. So to answer this, I really don't know any songs to their entirety. Just to reinforce my wifes theory I actually thought Bernard Fanning's new song was sunburnt not songbird.

Five things I'd do as a millionaire
Retire at 26
Go watch every major sporting event around the globe
Invest in property, shares anything that would make more money
Go on a holiday, but on a boat because I hate flying
Relax and share my wealth with family and friends

Five things I like doing
Running, Cycling, reading magazines not books so much, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends and the hairy kids (dogs)
