Motivation

Today I ran for 5 mins longer than my usual time, I didn't get that tired at all and there was absolutely 0 traffic so that meant no stopping. I might be improving faster than I expected, which I'm happy about =D

I'm also thinking of participating in the bridge to brisbane, for those of you that don't know what that is, it's a 12km fun run from the gateway bridge all the way to new farm park. It's just a way of getting motivation to train then eventually test myself, should be a good journey and might get several others to join in it too, already sorta got G interested (I think) =P. Read more about it here.

In other news, today was sign on for the rest of my subjects. I had to sign on for Jeri too because he was away, he gave me his UN and PW... maybe I should use them to my disposal or change it >=D mwahahaha just kidding man! My other friend missed out on the tute we agreed to join after seeing the classes filling up at a ridiculous pace.

Fortunately, the last sign on I had went smoothly for the other friend I'm doing the course with. All my sign ons went perfectly and I even was amazed to see how quickly every tute went, it's a dog eat dog world when it comes to sign on. Oh well, at least I'll be somewhat less distracted in class and learn a bit more (
possibly hella bored).

To those of you that have been watching "So you think you can dance" (SYTYCD), how hot are some of the female participants [drool]. Vanessa sounds like a mouse, Kassy, Rhiannon, Steph and Laura are all hot though. I can't believe Steph is 18 though =\. Jack and Demi (Bgirl from melbourne who judged a breaking comp I watched last year) did a pretty good boogaloo routine too, they had hella sick getups too! Man, I gotta start dancing again and seeing this stuff should be enough. Though I gotta admit, my favourites are definitely Sermsah and Hilton. Those two are just hella good but I hope Hilton wins it, that man has had a bit of a rough past but seems extremely humble still; respect.

Standing atop a hill looking at the world below

I'm sitting here sweating like a pig and love it. I just ran through my street for the first time in weeks since I've been away on holiday and I feel like I've accomplished something incredible. For those that don't know how my street looks it's basically straight at one end and a slope on the other, the detour I take has an uphill run.

Today I went through without taking a break (minus the traffic and the "oh no" stop in belief of stepping in doggy doo) even if it was only a 20 min jog, I felt as if I had leaped over a hurdle. I can take long runs too that reach up to 45 mins but I usually take about a 1 - 5 min break several times. I miss morning jogs, with great weather, a light breeze and nothing too incredibly hot.

To those that aren't aware, I've been having some weight problems lately and need to get rid of the excess! Those that don't believe me, looks can be deceiving. Here's to 72kg minus hopefully 7kg within the next 2 - 3 months...

PS: To you cynics, I didn't step in doggy doo.
