A Long Time Without

It's been a while. Again. Unfortunately it's the time of term where there are a lot of assignments, essays and spoken tests due. This workload is also added to by a new business venture my wife and I have entered, plus our desire to move to a new house. Everything has added up and unfortunately I have not been able to run as much as I would have liked. (read that as none) However, after this week I should be able to get back in to it. My running shoes have been lonely this last week, and I'm afraid they will be lonely for a week or so longer.

Things I notice: It's hard to find somewhere not cold in Wellington this time of the year.

Saturday

I don't have much to say today, except to say there was another run. 4kms. With my goal for the week of 15kms it means that I have to do a substantial(for me) run tomorrow. My brother, who intends to run through the desert with me, is in also in town and we are going to do some 'hill training' tomorrow in the Wellington Botanical gardens. It should be fun/painful.

Things I notice: The wind knows when you're running and I Tawhirimatea was/is quite upset with me. I started my run today by running into the wind. Uphill. I then ran along the flat. Into the wind. I then ran downhill back to where I started from. Into the wind. Tawhirimatea, if you are reading this, please accept my apologies. I will rejoin you on the morrow.

Hello Again

Hello, again. Yes, I still look the same. No, you don't. Your hair, it's different. Longer, more unkempt. Yes, that's it, you almost look homeless... No, wait, that's the economy... Today I went for another run, yesterday I also went for a run. Tomorrow I shall also run. Already this week I have failed to meet my goal, if my running was a government job I would probably get a raise. So, I've had to make a slight change to my goal of the week. 4 days, 16km. I think that's a healthy goal.

Things I notice: I should never try and pursue a career in stand up comedy.
