Went for an early morning run this morning, thanks to Brian's parents for looking after the girls.
We went to the rugby in Hamilton last night, it was a great game. The Chiefs beat the Super 14 leaders, the Crusaders 18-5. We were lucky enough (or have spent enough) to be asked to join Ballance Fertiliser in their corporate box - free entry, drinks and food! The only downside - they told us (more than twice) that the cost of fertiliser is going UP UP UP!!!
Anyway, back to the run. Due to not running much in the morning, I forgot to have breakfast first. I remembered the importance of food about 3 kms from home! I won't do that again! Still, only took an extra 2 and a half minutes to get back on a total of 13.7 km.
I was pleased with the run - I'm managing the bigger runs now, so I'm looking forward to seeing how I go in Huntly.
Brian made a good point the other day (I usually try not to agree with him when it comes to his opinions on what I should do, but have to admit it made sense).
He suggested I concentrate on all the smaller events I know I can do, (and have time to train for), rather than go all out for an Ironman attempt. This is actually good advice, as Ella is still only little. I guess I just worry about getting too old before I get to do Ironman.
Mmmm, something to ponder as I plod around the roads...................
Oh and before I forget - ate too many of these yesterday - I wonder if it will affect the weigh in tomorrow?

I should really be going down that line of thinking too. Lots of little events, and do them well.
Buuuut.... Ironman has a very strong pull!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to meeting you properly in Huntly - Lets pack a picnic and meet up afterwards - over food is always good! And jelly beans are allowed when you've just done an event, so pack them! I usually bring danishes.
That sounds good Kathy. Only 4 weeks to go!
