Lazy + denial = agony

Although I am in agony today (all over my body) I'm pleased I did a 6k run yesterday at Orewa Beach. It was windy, I am fighting with my own demon but I did it! Today I suffer it badly, can't even go up the stairs. Still, I am going to do another run tomorrow if weather permitted.

I think this is just another hurdle of my commitment where I never venture running before in my life and training outdoor in this cold winter weather isn't something I am familiar with. Its bad enough I don't know how to run, I only just got a proper running shoes last couple of months and did my first running event (Orewa Quarter Marathon) , now I not only read to Running World magazines but I also thinking of buying some running gadgets (Nike iPod Nano running sensor - I didn't know anything about that until last week!) If I can better my run (with or without gadget that is) I think I can better my triathlon performance.

Tomorrow I am hoping to do 8km if I can hack it. The thought of being out there in the cold give me the chill already! Brrrrrr.......

Let's see what tomorrow bring.....

Run now or you will run away from you goal slowly....

Sent my bike for it first service since I got it in March. The gears has been making some funny noise at places and its really annoying during bike ride. I don't feel any lost today as the weather yet again has been pants and I am really trying to find some inspiration to run in this cold miserable weather. How did those people do it wearing sleeveless and shorts running their heart out? Make me want to pee just watching em!

I must get my marathon inspiration somehow and hibernating at home doesn't do me any good. If I want to at least complete half of my 2009 resolution, I got to give myself few slaps on the faces to wake up as I have been really lacking! Grrr....I am not loosing this battle!

I am pleased with the blog website so far although this is a completely new thing for me, I know exactly how I want it and what will make me wants to go here again and again sharing my passion to my heart content here (oh shall I say trying to find the passion again wherever it has been?!) I am hoping if I can put some countdown to the future events that I want to enter, it will be make me want to move my lazy bum to get out there and do something! Arghhhhh! I am soooo ashamed of myself at the moment as I just hasn't got the motivation at all! Its seems like everything is against me (or I am just making excuses) with the weather, no time to do the training, winter bug (gee - how pathetic does this sounds hey?)

I have now put the Nike training log on this blog so I must start putting some numbers or else it will look so bad with those zeros! Suddenly I fancy a drive down Orewa Beach and run the whole beach for few laps. Must do this today....no, no. I NEED to do this today!

I guess I better get change and drive myself to the beach.....
