A bit of a catch-up

I thought I hadn't posted in a few days and I've a few spare mins in work so here goes. I had the first 'proper' session with the running club last night. I really enjoyed it – running with a group made the time go extremely quickly and having someone else think about pace and times made it a lot easier. OK so I was the slowest there, but that doesn't matter, we're all starting and my fitness will build up as I get better. It also gave me enough cals to have a ready meal last night as well, so slightly not on plan, but within cals and I don't feel bloated or anything today. It probably won't kill me.

 

I didn't sleep very well last night though – mainly cos I was running in my sleep in the bed and kept waking myself up. I had to chuckle at myself for that – for all those years I vehemently acted against running as a means of exercise and enjoyment and now I'm running in my sleep? I forced myself out of bed at 6:30 this morning though and went back for 10mins at 7am. That seemed to work, as does not worrying about waking in the middle of the night. I think I might start using that time for prayer, as is one suggestion from the Middle Ages. Let's face it, prayer won't hurt and it might help!

 

Work is flying by this week as well, thank God. It's almost the end of Tuesday already. When I get home tonight, it's cooking food for the next few days, cleaning the bathroom and making a start on the living room. I will probably put on a load of washing as well. I managed to do my assignment last night in the nick of time – thankfully it was only a computer multiple choice thing cos otherwise I'd've failed miserably. All's well that ends well. I'm more worried about the one I handed in last week – that was not my best work really!

 

I've had an email from one of the recruiters back home for a job, the company wants me to fill in a separate information/application form so fingers crossed something will come of that. I must find out some more information on the place though. Right back to the ratrace it is then. Caffeine withdrawal is going well, choccy and alcohol were no problem really. No cravings or anything, so hopefully, the next 5 weeks will go quickly now!
