in and out

had to edit the post cos it looked too haphazard and i'm one who can't stand erraticism and mess.
okay, i take the mess back, i'm a stickler for being neat on lotsa things but not my room.
hmmm.

anyway i've been swamped. ugh.

and i'm taking part in a 5km run. yes, 5km and not the 10km cos it'll be too late to actually start training for the latter. i'm very unfit and the last time i actually ran more than a km was from toowong to milton along the river in spring. i swear, nothing, absolutely nothing beats that.

so i've started training for the run.
am starting slow cos the body really needs to be accustomed to the humidity and the distance after more than a year of being a sloth and a pig - a sloink.
so i walked 2.5km last night and ran 0.5km in under 30 mins.
i hope to be able to run at least 1km tomorrow, and then 2 km next.
so by next month, i should be able to actually run the race, survive and not embarrass myself.

i cant believe i used to be really active (read: > 10 years ago) and look at me now - a sloink. erm, but no, i do not want to look the way i did then. nightmare! i'd like not to remember what i looked like then but too bad, there're such things as photos to embarrass me when i least expect it.

what the hell, i've spent more time blogging than doing actual work.
i win.
