August 25th, 2010 – mapmyrun.com

I’ve tried using this website. My sister KGal recommended it some time ago but I was never able to get it to work. Now I can. I will attempt to add my map from my run to work yesterday, which will be the route that I take for the foreseeable future when I run to work (which I’m trying to do twice a week). This will free up my evenings and get some kms under my belt without too much effort, well time lost anyway! It is all effort.

MGirl has been a killer chocolate seller this week. She knocked over 2 boxes in 2 days. The kids just flock to her; she doesn’t even have to try. It’s like a little Freddo black market at recess and lunch. Other friends have taken box(es) and offered to sell them at their work. Everyone is being great. I know the chocolates won’t make thousands for the Lung Foundation, but it is a start; and who doesn’t like a Freddo. I will just sell them in the background all year long, along with doing other things too.

A rest day today, I didn’t even walk FD#1…poor dog. MGirl said she isn’t going to die! And I guess that’s true, daily walks with her have just been a habit I developed over the last couple of years, so lately I feel like I’ve let her down. I guess in reality if she gets 3-4 walks a week she will be a happy dog! My HR was back down to 50 today, lowest yet, so that’s good. I am finally getting some fitness under my belt.

I ordered my new shoes from Eastbay yesterday, as the soles of my feet throbbed. I was trying to wait for the credit on my wrongly ordered shoes to come through, but my feet couldn’t wait. I have also ordered my new HR monitor. It isn’t GPS but it does pace and distance and calories burned so I am happy with that. It is also a bit of a dodgy colour, a brown face, but I am not fussed as it was much cheaper than getting a trendy colour – like the red flame one I wanted. I’d rather save the money than have a particular colour!

The tiles in the dining area are going down today; finally some progress after things had stalled for a while! Can’t wait to see them and then I can move all the furniture into the dining area so I can lift the next area of tiles. I will never buy a house again with floor tiles I hate, because pulling them up is the biggest pain in the bum you can imagine! Especially if you are trying to do most of it yourself to save money. You can’t imagine the weird things I’ve found done in my place; renovation always begets another problem! But it will be so worthwhile when it is finished…
