Holy cow, people – only 54 days until we go to Thailand – whoo hooo, I am SO excited, I can’t wait!! Gosh, I have had a busy, busy week with work, I am absolutely crazy at the moment and the bad news is my home computer is broken – booooo. The great news is that I am finally well again, thank goodness, I tell you – I was really over being sick!!
So, what has been happening? Well I did my 10km fun run on Sunday which was great! I didn’t run the whole way, probably about 8km of the course which I was very happy with!! I lay in bed at 6am on Sunday morning for about 15mins debating with myself whether I would do the run or not because my preparation was terrible – basically no running in the 2 weeks up to the run – not good! It was a gorgeous morning though and I thought even if I walked it will be a good experience and it certainly was.The Melbourne Marathon Run is pretty popular with thousands and thousands of participants in the four races. It is on a really scenic route through Melbourne and ends up with a lap of the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) which is quite fabulous. I was up on the big screen for ages as I ran my lap and boy did I feel good when I crossed the line! I got a medal and everything – I love a good medal!I think I am going to do another 10km run in December to hopefully keep up the fitness, help the weight loss further and feel good about myself – there is a good one coming up – it is an all women one which is nice!
Anyway, I have booked our accommodation in Bangkok today and I am waiting to hear back for our accommodation in Hua Hin – I have also paid up our travel insurance, I have crossed off a few things off my list!!. I had a big list of items that I need to get done tomorrow but I have to do work – work has been absolutely crazy this week and there is no slowing down in sight, hopefully next week will be a bit better but I have my doubts. Anyway, I will get some more things done for Thailand tomorrow – I am back to my old ‘getting stuff done’ self - it’s nice to be back – yeah!!
I haven’t been to the gym this week which is a bit disappointing but, oh well – I will get back into it next week. I have actually lost more weight though, so that is good!! One thing that has been a little bit of a concern is that over the past week, I have nearly fainted about 5 times when I have stood up from sitting down. I am going to have to pay a visit to my GP I think.
Anyway – will catch up with you all soon!!
Cheers,

Congrats on the 8 km! Earlier this year I walked four of a five mile walk for March for Dimes, and about died with just walking. I was so sore the next day.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a problem with low blood pressure? Hopefully the doctor can fix whatever is going on with you.
Before you know it, it will be time to get on the plane!
Not long now! Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteJust getting caught up reading a bunch of posts. I am so behind! I tagged you on my blog if you want to play along :)
