  • RunningBlog: Week 41

    Huh. I just realised that I trained on five out of the last seven days! That may be a personal record. Sunday was the WWFoR, of course, where I ran the Zen Run 10K. Monday I went to yoga class. Tuesday I was laid up all day with a killer headache, but Wednesday I went back to work and did my usual Spudds circuit. Thursday I went for an easy run, and then this morning I did speed intervals. I guess my energy is starting to bounce back a bit!

    Oct. 10: 10.01km
    Oct. 14: 6.00km
    Oct. 15: 5.44km
    Total this week: 21.45km (13.4mi)
    Total in 2010: 775.91km (484.9mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 788.4km. I’m slowly gaining ground again…

    I just RSVPed to the official Granny Square grand opening party! Can’t wait to celebrate all the hard work Other Andrew has done. 🙂


    @YarnChic_Knity It’s a new knitting shop that’s opened up here in Sydney. 🙂


    @stufromoz Haha, yeah, that’s how I “met” you, remember? I saw you helping him with something Mac-related. 🙂


    @Opheli8 Much appreciated. 🙂


    My house smells of peanut butter cookies. (Dear coworkers: You better be nice to me tomorrow!)


    @chrisgander If you come to William Street, I’ll save you one. 🙂


    Stuck on George St. Going to be late. But fear not, coworkers! The peanut butter cookies are with me.

    Just completed a 5.44 km run with RunKeeper – Warm-up, 4 x 400m speed intervals w/ jogging recovery, cool down. Felt good!

    Why can I not find a single retailer willing to ship a pair of Dansko Marcelles in my size to Australia? Very frustrating.


    YAYAYAY! My new @QueenBeeInc handbag has arrived! http://twitpic.com/2x6i4f (cc @Roceal @lttlrdhn)


    @carbolicious Hahaha… I was actually thinking of sending one to Indie too! Or maybe Race Car Driver Barbie. One of the kickass ones. 🙂


    @chrisgander Well, except when they were $9 for 09/09/09! 😛


    Another day, another eyeball-searing travesty of “advertisement” by the SMH. I’ve accidentally clicked that Harvey Norman link 4 times.


    Which is probably what they want; it makes the click-through numbers look higher. But it just makes me hate both companies even more.


    @that_alison OMG. I need *everything* on that site.


    @that_alison And their stuff isn’t that expensive! I want ALL OF IT. Hm. Maybe time to start up sewing lessons again…


    @that_alison Do you want to combine an order? I am seriously tempted…


    It’s my 15 seconds of fame! I just registered for Your Name in Lights at #sydfest. You should too! http://bit.ly/aqovut


    Waiting for the mortgage valuation guy. Interesting way to start the day.


    What the heck? This real estate valuer looks to be about 20 years old.


    Boring grown-up mortgage stuff done. Now heading in to work…

    Just completed a 6.00 km run with RunKeeper – Nice and easy. A little sore from Spudds, and it’s a warm day. Went slow.

    RT @ebertchicago: Let’s clear this up once and all: I didn’t review “Scott Pilgrim” cause I didn’t see it… // I did wonder.


    @TitusAtticus You shoulda checked w-g. I was huddled on the couch with the cat, suffering through my 12th hour of headache. 🙁


    Yes, I am wearing Crocs out in public. That is precisely how crappy I feel. My head has been hurting for 24 hours. 🙁


    Paracetamol + massage + sleeping pill = the Headache Monster has been 95% vanquished. Back to the daily grind…


    I’m seriously considering taking advantage of exchange rate and pre-ordering Computer Engineer Barbie. http://amzn.to/aDV2PW Yes, really.


    @drkknits Obviously I’d have to fashion her a new wardrobe with some Threadless tees. 🙂

    @chrisgander It’s going to be on TV too.


    Stomach starting to hurt in that “ulcer hell” kind of way. At least it gives my misery a focus.


    Actually, stomach is okay. More problematic is the headache that’s been sending shooting pains up the side of my face all night. No sleep.


    @kunaal84 Better now. On my way in!


  • Wait, what?

    Ione Skye is married to Ben Lee? How did I not know that? (Also, she’s 8 years older than he is. Nice one, Ione!)

    Finished my #WWFOR 10K in 69:22. (Missed my PR by 13s!) Thanks to @JayDub and @kunaal84 for pacing me!


    Homemade Jaeger Schnitzel with peas and (IKEA) rosti. Discovery: when I cook mushrooms, I actually like them! http://twitpic.com/2wby7u
