Bout time for a post...?

Thanks Jodie... yes it was well overdue, so I've decided to get off my lazy a$$ and write something. Been 'missing' as I've felt I've had nothing positive to post, so it's better to post nothing. The last 2 weeks have been low low low, but there's only one person that can change that, and that's ME. It goes a bit deeper than that, but that's all I need to share. I know I'm not the only one that has hassles and obstacles to overcome, and most peoples probs are alot bigger than mine, so I need to GET OVER IT!! :)
Anywho... ummmm.... Well I did my first run on Wednesday nite in 10 days (yes, that's bad, but that's what happens when crap hits the fan with me, everything 'normal' is pushed to the side).
I can't complain though, I did my fastest time for 5kms in over 15 months! I did a huge leg work-out the day before so my musckles were sore, but it so worked for me! I'm proud to say my PB for this season is now...
5kms.... 24mins 06secs :) :) :)
It's still a far cry from my best ever of 22min 56secs, but considering the circumstances, I was OVER THE MOOOOOOOOOON!!! So needless to say, since Wednesday nite, I have been a bit more focused. I HATE HATE HATE that I am sooo sporadically emotional, I'm depressed for 10 days, then within 25mins it all changes? Then the issues that consumed me for those 10 days seem so silly. This happens all the time to me, but lately more often than not, and the lows last longer. GRRRR Anyway... OHHH plus I had my new Asics Kayanos, so I reckon that must have given me the edge ;)
Have a KILLER of a run on the weekend, it's King of the Mountain, so you guessed it, a long run almost vertical. It's only 6.4kms, but last year I walked it in at 50mins. I felt better to see alot more experienced runners reduced to a walk as well, it's sooo tough. Can't wait for it to be over!! hehe Love the challenge though.
Not much planned for this weekend, going out for a few drinks (of water in my case) tonite as it's my OHs 'farewell' drinks for his current job now that he's starting at the mines in 2 weeks. Early one for me as I'm up before the sun for half marathon training. That's prolly the highlight of my weekend, aren't I so sad :)
Better run, my fingers are FROZEN. My work is the coldest building EVER! Air-con isn't even on - I even have my hoody on at the moment!!!
Have been reading everyones blogs still, THANK YOU ALL for being so inspiring, wonderful women :) You are all my strengths in times that i need...
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!

Hey chicky. Great to finally hear from you. I know where you are coming from - I'm always quick to push things aside too when the crap hits the fan. But what doesnt break us only makes us stronger. Have a great weekend!

Oh Selina, your sooo funny sometimes but I am sad to see you've been in the blues lately. Your a great girl with a really hot bod who will continue on to do great things I have no doubt. We ALL struggle - even the top fitness girls but we all are glad you have somewhere you can vent and hopefully get a little support.

Thanks for leaving your wonderful kind words on my blog.....I bet you are a really inspiring personal trainer!!!!

Hi sweetie,

Sorry to hear that you've been going through an emotional gauntlet lately... I hope the sun is starting to shine again for you (especially considering your building is so cold... LOL!!).

Great run by the way... I wish I was more of a runner, but I'll just stick more to my beloved weights :) xxx
