@ContraryMaryMary the cake looks amazing! Im sure it was enjoyed by everyone. Re monthly question. I hated sports as a kid, detested running, jumping or anything like that. Except I liked discus. And now I would love to be Valerie Adams (won bronze this year in women's shot put). She's such an inspiration and an incredible…

So i had an awful week for food. Sigh. Back to normal this week. I'm just unable to stick to anything longer than a week atm. I keep wanting to pick up a training plan, then remember I'm having a needed mental break. I don't want to lose weight for looks or anything now. I just want to fit my uniform without feeling like…

Happy belated birthday @quilteryoyo

Nope, no word. I'm kinda willing to leave it another week, that will be a month since the last update. I did contact the NZ Post team, who receive shipments. They said "Unfortunately your item has still not arrived in NZ as of yet, but can confirm that it has been sighted in San Francisco on 16/07/2021 in transit to New…

Hey all. Today is going to be a bit of a struggle. I'm spending most of the day in the car driving to our satellite sites, they are in a circle around our mountain, and the furtherest is an hour away, but in the opposite direction from the first one. So lots of driving. Yay... Then I'm staying overnight in last town for…

Ohhhh I've definitely been there! And given my sweet tooth, it takes a lot!

It's a bit like basketball but you can't dribble and there is no backboard

Hey all. No run today. I did a run yesterday then played netball. Watch said rest, so I rested. I'm back to following my watch and actually really enjoying it. It gives me variety and I'm supposed to be improving again! I'm enjoying not training for anything. I got my refund through, yay. And I'm enjoying running for…

Hey all. Been skimming lately. Concentrating on family atm for obvious reasons. Things are going well, so touch wood it continues. Foods been good the last couple of weeks and I've lost nearly 3kg (gotta love that water weight loss lol). I'm definitely feeling better with it. So I just keep doing what I'm doing. Thinking…

Woah crazy

Thanks guys! I'm taking things pretty cruisy atm. Just following my watch really. So will just see what happens. Only did 73k in July. Hope to do more in August.

@abowersgirl congratulations!! And I agree with the others, getting to 10k now is much easier. Enjoy the process

Well ironman may suck but runners really do have the biggest hearts! I thought I could on sell my entry to the HM at the price I paid, and someone was keen to take it. Turns out you can do that. Yes you can transfer to someone else, but they have to pay the current rate, not the early bird special you paid. So makes…

Ahhh just been out for an 8.5k run. Was supposed to be a base run, watch seems to think it was a tempo run. I doubt that, it was a fairly easy run but who knows. Definitely could have kept going. Best I've felt in WEEKS! I think basically being sick foe the last month really got me down. I also noticed the sun is getting…

Well eating is a bit more controlled. Not as well as I'd like but better than it was. DH is on board to help me as much as he can so that's good. I'm was on angio yesterday, so lots of sitting/standing and doing not much moving. Same again tomorrow. Today in on admin, so sitting most of the day. Sigh. Its good to have…

Yeah I've done some googling and it sounds like this isn't uncommon. Packages seem to arrive but can be months. Will wait and see haha

@swenson19d I'm starting to think somethings gone wrong. No movement in 2 weeks sigh. Flight should have landed by now lol

Sadly haven't found anyone yet. Trying lol. But yeah it's so expensive.

If I found someone who wanted it. Has to be soon, cause only have till the 8th August

@ContraryMaryMary you got your entry for Auckland Half?

Sorry guys. Skipping a lot. I cancelled my Auckland race at the end of October. I'm just not feeling it and won't be race ready. There is a local run in November I'm tempted to train for, but am kinda just waiting to see how the next month goes. I kinda feel relieved cancelling it. So right decision. As for running, I'm…

That's beautiful!!

@quilteryoyo thoughts with you today. @swenson19d glad counselling went well. I take notes too because I forget everything after. @ContraryMaryMary oh I wish I had PMS ad an excuse haha. Fueling for a race is the perfect excuse. I'm doing OK. Been on track for the last few days. Which is good,i feel better and less in a…

Thanks for all the earphone suggestions. I do have a pair of aftershokz and love them too, I am nervous about using them in very wet conditions. But I gather they are pretty good and would hold up? I'm just sad because I bought the BackBeat fits on @PastorVincent suggestion and absolutely love them. I don't know kind of a…

Earphones. What's everyone using these days? I was doing some research to replace my plantronics and they don't appear to be made any more. It's all earbuds now! Who's using earbuds? Do they stay put or jiggle around? I'm not buying airpods but open to other suggestions

Hey all. Decided to do what garmin suggested this morning, 25 min threshold run. Thought why not. Doubt I'd be able to do all 25 mins given I've been sick etc but see how far I go. I managed about 18 @5:20/km pretty happy with that. And I managed to beat the rain! I've been cycling to work every day due to the lack of…

Everyone is busy! I had a day off work yesterday and spent it with the family. It was a beautiful sunny day so we went for a walk along the coastal walkway, then played on a few playgrounds, and introduced the kids to sushi for lunch. Overall they liked it yay. Then I had counselling in the afternoon. It went well. She…

Hey all. Have kinda skimmed. I'm here and still ticking over. Finally managed a run yesterday, about 4k. I'm finally feeling better. No cold and no real cough yay. So planning on a decent run tomorrow. Will see how I feel as to the distance I go. My plantronics headphones are starting to play up. I've had them 3 years and…

Hey all. @swenson19 yep it looks positive! Hanging out for the next step now haha. I'm still pretty stressed and eating everything under the sun.sigh. Dh is making a huge effort. We've been having a lot of heart to hearts. And things are looking better. I feel like we've connected deeply for the first time in what feels…

I sent her an email letting her know we were thinking about her.
