100°F and 22.55 M

Its 100°F outside... and I walked/ran 1.14 miles! Now this has taken my pre-race target upto 22.55 miles! Isn't that great? I only have less than half a mile to do before I complete my pre-race target!

One thing is for sure... actually, make that two things:

1. I love this weather (maybe its a novelty having been in England for the last 6 months, and you know what they say about London rain!)
2. I know I am going to do more miles than I need to for the pre-race... And I don't mind one bit!

Sunday Strolls...

Well, not quite a stroll, as a stroll by definition is to walk in a leisurely manner!

1.65 miles again today! My aim is to keep this up each day, or at least every other day until the race day! AND - I hope to continue afterwards as well! Whoohoo! Watch this space!

So, my walk took my to Safeways and back. I felt green... "Hmmm... is she feeling envy of some king? Or maybe a little peaky?" I hear you ask yourselves! Nothing of the sort! Mo and Ro (they sound like twins don't they?) are going to avoid coming to my place, as they are afraid of the Green Juice! Any green vegetables - spinach, cucumber, fennel, serrano chilli, bell pepper, coriander, and a little ginger! Yummy!

Now onto my Domestic Goddess duties...

Embrace The Sunshine!

This time in 4 weeks time, I shall be laughing with my friends - full of happiness, tired with sore feet as I would have completed my race! Having achieved something which when I signed up in May (6 weeks ago) I'd never have thought I would get this far! My pre-race miles have steadily been increasing, as has the fundraising. I have become fitter and healthier and look forward to just putting on my Nikes, grabbing my iPod and just simply walking...

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do it is increased."

I know exactly what Mr. Emerson is talking about!

Its a beautiful sunny Sunday! I am going to embrace the sunshine...

4 Weeks Left! - 5 July

Its late, and I need to make my blog post! 1.24 miles today! Getting nearer to my pre-race target!

Sleep well all! And if you'r reading this in the morning, then "Good morning! Hope you have a great day!" :)

I hope my British Colleagues do well in the British 10k London Run. Think of me while you're at Shakespeare's Globe having lunch!

I could have been running the following course!

I still have 4 weeks to go before the RunSFM race!

Friday July 4th 2008

There will be no blog post today due to the holiday...

And seriously - is there a doctor reading my blog? My Monday blister is still sore! Any advice?

There will be no run today due to issues with the foot...

Wednesday Woes! :(

I am not having any luck with my feet. I shall be precise - my foot. I wore a pair shoes today, which were nice, pretty, open toed and allowed my blister to breathe. Apart from the big toe and litte toe becoming sore from all the rubbing everything was fine...

That is until I got home. I opened the front door, stepped in, door swung back (towards me), and over my naked toes on my right foot. Off came the skin on my little toe. No training today. :(

Tuesday Twin Treats!

Went to the Man of Mystery's house! Had some twin treats and had a ride back to my apartment. 0.8 miles... clocking the miles up now! 6 more miles before I reach mt pre-race target! :)
