Monday Pinks...

Most people suffer from Monday Blues... Right now, I have Monday Pinks... "What?" I hear you all cry...

Once upon a time... lets get to the chase... I had planned to run/walk to the Man of Mystery's house this evening, and then get a ride back to my apartment. Anyway, with the weather being great here in sunny CAlifornia, I wore my strappy shoes, and have ended up getting a blister on my right heel. Hence, the Monday Pinks... and no run today. :(

I think the 75minute walk around San Francisco this lunchtime looking for NikeTown may have had something to do with the Monday Pinks!

At least now I have a bag to carry all my accessories in! And Maroon is the nearest color I found to pink. Grey compliments pink.

And so, you may have come to realize, or may be a little unsure or hesitant to ask... So let me confirm: "Yes, I am co-ordinating my run."

1.89 Kilometers = 1.17 Miles !

I am such a blonde* at times! I know I have to run 23.1 miles before the race day. And I thought I had to complete 5 miles on the race day to get a medal. And if I completed 3.1 miles, I wouldn't get the medal... So, what do you see here? Well, I found out that its not 5 miles I need to complete. Its actually 5 kilometers which is 3.1 miles!

I have just come back from a 1.89 k run/walk, which is equivalent to 1.17 miles! Google is my friend.

And so to answer my family and Ro2's question: Yes - I have been for a run today! I nearly did do the Phoebe run... but there were people at the lake, so I decided against it!

* Apology to all blonde people who may be reading this, but if you see me, you'll know this is the most ridiculous comparison one can ever make!

5 Weeks Left! - 28 June "Got Milk? No? Go Run!"

I must go on... My body does not want to co-operate with me. My legs had decided to send some pain messages via the nerve network to my brain, hoping that heart would intercept and overule the brain's decision making power...

Well, legs had another thing coming! After some painful negotiations, and phone calls from old friends and new, I decided to venture out. 1.65 miles return from Safeway! Well, I needed some milk. You know the ad "Got Milk?" Well, mine is "Got Milk? No? Go Run!" And there is no Google map for this. I used my Nike iPod Sports kit, which is working well. I just need to get a better backpack to carry my cell, keys, purse, water bottle and anything else I may have!

By the way, the phone calls had nothing to do with me deciding to run or not... Mo was at a garage getting her car fixed. I know reception is bad where I am, but I am sure she said she was at FatBoy! And one of the first things Ro2 asked was "Did you go for your run?"

Either the run is going to kill me, or encouragement from my friends and family! Keep it up guys!

Traing Day 10 - 1 Mile on the Treadmill

I finally managed to get all my iTunes songs off one computer onto another and then onto my iPod Nano. I'm all kitted out, with my Nike shoes, the iPod and the Nike + iPod Sport Kit.

My pulled muscle isn't pulled anymore, and my right ankle doesn't hurt anymore! I did one mile on the treadmill again in 9 minutes! Whoohoo - I am getting there!

Either this Marathon training/run will khock me out completely, or I'll end up looking like Kareena Kapoor in Tashan! She's become a size zero. Well, I can dream at least!

6 Weeks Left! - 21 June

OMG! 6 weeks left!

My right ankle hurts! :( Got to keep going though... well, not today though. Going to a Barbeque Birthday party...

Training Day 9: 1.4 Miles - And 2 Dozen Bananas!

Friday evening - and my workout consisted of walking to buy 23 bananas. No, I don't have any apes or chimpanzees as pets, although my apartment did smell like a monkey's zoo!

I also ended up pulling a muscle after Wednesday's workout!

Back to the bananas - Milk Chocolate and Pecan covered forzen bananas, and White Chcolate with Coconut and Toffee crunch frozen bananas! Yum yum! Its all for a party tomorrow.

Training Day 8: 1.4 Miles - Over The Half Mark!

Whats the best way to start the day before working? A good brisk walk! 1.4 miles and I'm halfway over my progressive total!

I needed to go to a UPS store. On the way there I saw a FedEx Kinkos store. I was tempted to go to this, since it was nearer! BUT I didn't! I'd already planned my miles from home, so stayed with the longer distance!

Whoohoo! Hows that for dedication now!
