Running

I recently pinned this:
May need to break out the Run Lola Run soundtrack...
I spent about a half hour running around my neighbourhood this evening. Not all running, more than half that time walking, especially after making it to the top of a way steeper hill than it looks.

Why? Because I was ambitious/dumb enough to sign up for the Army Run at the end of September. I signed up this in, um.... June? Let's just say I didn't keep to the workout schedule I envisaged and am now staring down a somewhat scary distance in less than 6 weeks. Thank goodness Z (my race buddy) e-mailed me expressing similar sentiments today.

But I've now laid out the training schedule, pinned up the race course in my cube so that I keep seeing it out of the corner of my eye to remind me to not eat that giant italian sandwich two hours before I'm supposed to go for a run (Dirienzos - delicious, but dangerous), and am resolved.

Let's hope my stubborn nature can work this out, otherwise if someone could pick me up along the side of the canal 6 Sundays from now around - that would be great.
