Anxious? Me?

I have just started the registering process for the City to Surf race that I am hoping to compete in at the end of March. Just hitting the send button made me nervous, I am really going to do this aren't I? What started out as a far away goal that I am not sure if I actually intended to achieve, is now roughly nine weeks away.

Nine weeks to run 12km. I am at 6.5km now. I know that at this point in time I could complete the race with a run/walk combo. But I want to do what I set out to achieve. To run the race. Did I just say that? Crap.

What is even scarier is what my mind has been thinking about after the race has been run. There are other races that come after the City to Surf... longer ones. At the moment I might just stick to the one then see how I go before committing myself.

New pants go non-stop

Ok so the title doesn't make a lot of sense, until I explain a little further. My trackies that I have been running in have become so big that they try to fall down when I run. I either have to tie them on really tight so that the drawstring hurts or run a few steps and hike them back up. Leaving me fearing the day that they make it all the way down to my ankles.

Cue a trip to the store and some new snazzy stretchy pants. Not entirely flattering but they do feel nice to exercise in. Which brings me to the second part of the title. Last night I went for a 6.5km run, nothing super special about it except that it was my first one non-stop, and timed at roughly 1 hour 5 mins or just over 9 mins a km, woohoo!

Fat pants do not fit me any more!

Have not posted here in a little while as Miss has just got her first tooth and she has been a teensy bit grumpy the last week or so. Just a little bit. But I have had time to go through all of my clothes and remove the ones that are now too big, yay! and bring out of storage the ones that now fit and the ones that will soon fit... yippee!

How awesome is it that my fat pants are too big. REALLY awesome. On the downside my jeans are also to big and the other pair that I have are too small, can button them but with a serious muffin top. But at least the weather is too hot at the moment for pants.

Under 80!

An unexpected surprise awaited me on the scales on the 1st, yes I know it has taken me a couple of days to post the results. But the official weight recorded was 79.5kg which is less than when got pregnant. Yippee!

There isn't much difference in these pics from the last ones but for consistency and accountability here they are. Still a loss over the month of December is pretty good 1.5kg. Now I have to try and keep up the good work.
