Count Down to OZ!

I am leaving the UK for the hustle and bustle of Melbourne in late 2012. This blog is to document my journey to improved well being through fitness and weight loss.

I want to leave the UK trim, toned and feeling great about myself!

I'm all about dancing, running, Nike, eating, gossiping and sarcasm :)

Current Challenge: Training for the Edinburgh Marathon 2012!!

The Reluctant Runner: If you're looking for running inspiration...this ain't it.

thereluctantrunner:

I had a revelation tonight. I don’t like running. I fucking hate it. After two years of consistent running the light bulb went off tonight. Running sucks….seriously. Power walking? Great! Running? Sucky.

RR…it’s that time during your training. You always get like this at certain points during…

You know (or might not if you are a boy) how girls that spend a lot of time together can get in sync with their periods, well me and Missy Reluctant seem to be in sync with our feelings towards running.  Perhaps we spend too much time together online being snarky at Ben?

I am seriously counting down the days until I can have a weekend to myself and wear inappropriate flat shoes that cause my arches to drop.  Oh and run around the lake for a couple of miles rather than have to run around it 10 times to get the distance in.

P.S I am sure we will both be enjoying it again next week.  We are fickle like that!

  10. trimamatri said: Cracking me up b/c I totally felt that way during marathon training-it passed. And BTW arthritis happens in joints, not muscles… for your next rant. Keep them coming, I’m entertained to no end!
  11. arkansascello said: Have to say that I feel you on this one. Running is such a bear so much of the time,but then there are those days where I can’t believe that I’m actually doing it, and realize what I’ve accomplished. And its enough to keep me going, at least for now!

  16. easybeinggreene said: Good for you! Running isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Some swim, some bike, some do gymnastics. Do whatever the heck you want, chick!
