I was wondering how I’ve qualified the term slack. I did get a sleep in, until 7.30am, yeah! Then the rest of the morning was spent chipping tile residue from the floor (which is becoming a mind-numbingly boring experience) and washing clothes and hanging them out. Went and watched MGirl’s last netball game of the season, came home to walk FD#1, folded more clothes and then the afternoon was gone!
Around 1.30pm I’d thought about riding my bike, which I not done in ages, as the sun was poking through the clouds…and then it started to pour. With run apathy looming today, and not it raining…that was it, I was a slacker. But it wasn’t like I did nothing at all, I still burnt some calories! I was a bit timid about doing much running today as I was so looking forward to the run tomorrow. Given my total stiffness for much of the week, I didn’t want to overdo it and not feel up to my long run tomorrow. I’d thought about swimming as well, but really couldn’t be bothered getting my head wet!
I spent last night folding clothes, the ones from the week before, clearing the couch for the new lot of dried, clean as yet unfolded clothes that now occupy the couch…again. It’s a constant cycle! Then I mixed up my 24 boxes of chocolates so that each carry box had some of all the varieties I’d bought. Such an exciting evening. CBoy was off at a mate’s place doing the 40 Hour Famine, by staying up for 40 hours on an Xbox playing challenge and attempting to not eat food as well. I wondered how he was going, but the battery on his mobile is obviously flat as it goes straight to message bank!
My name is Karen. I am a 43yo single mum of two awesome teenagers...no truly, they are. In my search (of late) for a bit of direction in my life, I have set myself a goal of competing in the Canadian Death Race in late July 2011. In my quest to do the improbable, I also want to raise funds for the Lung Foundation of Australia in honour of the memory of my mum, Kerry. I hope that you enjoy following my progress, and are able to contribute to a worthy cause!!
