All or Nothing...

My first fun run for the year is this Sunday.... oops I'm not really prepared, in fact I had forgotten to register... but I checked it out yesterday and they were still accepting registrations.  There are two options a 5.5km and an 11km.  I chose the 5.5km to start because I wanted to do the run for speed rather than distance, how I'm going to go with that.... is anybody's guess!  BUT I'm doing it and well frankly... that's the main thing here!  No use wimping out on the first one right!

And that is kinda the point here today.  Something, is always better than nothing.  I used to be that kind of all or nothing dieter, you know, I had to do everything perfectly or I'd "ruined" it (really because it wasn't that one chocolate bar that ruined it, it was the candy shop I consumed AFTER that one chocolate bar that ruined it), it wasn't that one day I missed training, it was the weeks and weeks after when I didn't get off my arse for love nor money unless it was to head to the kitchen.

Back to work

So Christmas is now over, New Years has been celebrated and it's time for reality to set back in. 

Today it is back to work, it's still quiet not everyone is back yet.  There's plenty for me to do if I can be bothered! ;P

This morning I went for a run, I haven't done too much running over the last few weeks so I expected to conk out pretty quick, but I did OK for about 4km, further than I expected, the entire circuit was 5.4km.  Last year I borrowed a bike from a friend and toyed with the idea of riding to work, as I discovered it would be about a 15min bike ride to work, it takes me about half an hour door to door if I drive including parking and then a 5min walk from the car park, etc (which seems ridiculous seeing work is like well 15mins away!).  So this morning I just decided to go for it, and off I went.  I mean truly the time it takes me to drive in, park and walk from the car park to work I could actually walk my bike route in the same amount of time.  It's a pretty good route too, not too much road, and where there is road relatively little traffic, which makes me more comfortable, not to big on riding in the traffic!
