another goal!

Thursday 13th January:
Water: over 2 litres
Veges: 4 serves.. maybe 5
Fruit: 2 serves
Exercise: 40 or so minute run

So... another goal has presented itself to me. Almost 30 minutes into my running today at the gym, I thought to myself (as most people probably do) "keep running till the end of this song.." the end of the song comes about, but I wanna keep running! so I flick through my songs on my iPod and find another good track and keep on going... then at the end of it, same thing happened!! This went on for 2 more songs until I found myself at 41 minutes and thirsty. I decided to flick to a slow song and go for a cool down walk.. after all, it was 7.05pm and I didn't wanna cook our dinner too late (turns out Dru cooked it anyways.. what a sweety!). After my cool down I read my workout summary and it turns out I ran 6.4km's. Which I was pleased with, but I know that I can do better!! I participated in the Mothers Day run last year and did 7km's in 40 minutes... and that was with no training. SO my goal now is to get to 7km's on the treadmill in 40 minutes... Which I know will end up turning into another goal.. beat my last years time in the Mothers Day run this year! in fact.. yes that is a new goal as of today! I have about 4 months.. I reckon I should be able to smash my time by 5 minutes... I am gonna try keep up with Dru this year!!

On another note.. I now know why they call it 'runners high' ... I always feel so happy and energised after a run!! Apparently running/exercising releases endorphins... bit like eating chocolate, except you only feel happy while you're eating that chocolate.. not afterwards!

Never thought I would hear myself say it, but I am actually disappointed that I don't have time to go to the gym tomorrow after work!! Might get up early and go instead.. we shall see!!
