I have 10 minutes before I have to jump in the shower and then go and fetch Noddie from kinder, then frantically do a faux-tidy of the house before a friend from church comes around to look at our paint as she has to choose colours for her house by Friday and our house has a lot of different colours, so this will be slapped down in a hurry.
- a friend of mine is in a mother-baby acute psychiatric ward with her 3 month old baby. Poor darling, please send her your prayers if you do that sort of thing.
- faced my Fear Of Long Runs again - why do I dread them and procrastinate so? same with my bike rides, which I LOVE? - and had quite a good one. This will be the best prepared I have ever been for a half-marathon I think. Not to say I will be particularly fast (hahahahaha ROFL) just well-prepared. I've entered the Run Melbourne half marathon on June 22nd as an untapered last long run before the Gold Coast. Should be a hoot and there's bling involved......
- sleep has been a bit broken as Noddie conquers the last toileting milestone - waking up and going to the loo! Hurrah for Noddie, and please pass the eye cream for the suitcases under my eyes.
- J and I walked up to the primary school and enrolled Noddie for next year!! Our baby is going to school!
- it has occurred to me that as a heavyish 41 year old with prior injuries, my major goal this winter should be to remain injury- free. Well, hi there Captain Obvious!! In which case I should REALLY not try and build both my run base and my bike base simultaneously (Hi again C.A! You're doing a great job!). Just because the mighty Sara is cranking out the kms doesn't mean I have to. She'll just have to wait for me at the finish, and I bet she does too, she's a kind person. The best thing about this realisation is that I had it before I injured myself. Maybe I am growing up... nah
- Don't laugh, Eat 'Em - I am thrilled to be about to crack 100km of running this month. My best total ever!
- my new bike seat and the words 'anterior pelvic tilt' are currently my favourite things in the whole world. So sue me. I'm fickle.
Sh*t, ten minutes already. Must dash as I am scared of Noddie's kinder teacher glaring at me for being late. I think she plays netball.
More anon, kind readers of hasty gibberish!

100km running - that is so good- I am struggling to break 100km cycling. I won't have to wait for you at all, we are in that damn ride together, right down to the last km!
Injury free is a good goal for anybody.
Well prepared is also good. Personally, I'm fond of finishing feeling good. :)
Sorry to hear about your friend. Will pray for her.
LOL! That's a heck of a lot info in ten minutes :-) Nothing wrong with building your base in cycling and running at the same time. You just need to train smart.
I agree with ya, though! Injury free is a great goal for the new year!! Congrats on signing up for the half mary!!
Oh, BTW: I will definitely keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers!!
good news on your running and other good news items.
I will keep your friend in my thoughts and send healing vibes that way.
Oh, I know how you feel - I always feel so good after a long run, and yet I put it off and whine so! Why do I do that??
awesome post! i've gotta start doing the 10-minute thing too!
I pretty much dread everything--run, swim, bike. It's all feel the fear and do it anyway. We're such GROWN UPS!
Hey LBTEPA, I have seen so many comments of yours on blogs I read, can't believe it has taken me this long to find your blog. A great read!
I was pretty happy to just get over the 100km mark for running this month too, but you killed me on the bike kms!
I read Chi Running a while back, I think I might need to read it again!
I see you are in for the Run Melbourne Half - I just registered today too!
