Running | Week One

These running posts will serve to hold me accountable for my goal of 300km of running this year and also as something for me to look back on to see if I’ve gotten quicker etc.

 

So far, I have gone for 2 runs this week. The first run was about 4.3km and the second was right on 4km. I use the Nike running app to track the runs as it tells me each kilometre where I am at and my average speed.
 

The first run didn’t track properly so I am counting that as a practice as I’d like the app to track my full 300km of running this year. Consequently, I have done one tracked run this week that was 4km long and this was around an oval. I will have to do another run over the weekend to get my average per week distance of 5.5km which is fine as I had planned on 3 runs per week anyway.

Run one – practice – 4km

Run two – 4km | 20 minutes | average of 5 minutes per kilometre

1, 2, 3 #6

1. We are well and truly back in to the new year and to be honest I thought it would be a real drag. So far, so good. Work isn't busy and I am having a great time being productive after some refreshing time off. This year is going to be a good one at work and I am going to put a lot of effort in to learning my job well and hopefully taking the next step towards progression

 

2. I cut more hair off and well and truly have a bob. I like it and everyone else likes it...it's just a bit too short though. Thank goodness my hair grows fast! It's the shortest it has EVER been and I just love the easy maintenance. For someone that has to do their hair every day (for fear of having a birds nest on my head), a quick blow dry and straighten is bliss. Not sure if I will grow it out or not now. It is always fun to try new hairstyles and I'm glad I decided to go short.

 

3. Did I mention my bestie got engaged? Well she did and her ring is spectacular. I don't know if I would have a huge amount of fun planning my own wedding (the thought does not really interest me) but I love her bouncing ideas off me. She is going to be a really stunning bride and I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle. It's not hard for her to look stunning though, she's a natural ;-)

Tell me who you are

I love reading blogs and I love connecting with people through social media. I flick through twitter and Instagram a few times a day.

 

My biggest problem is matching blogs to twitter handles and Instagram accounts. So, please leave a comment with your blog/twitter/Instagram and for good measure bloglovin’ account too if you have one.

Thanks :-)
