• Snakes on A Plane was fab. So much better than I was expecting it to be. So kind of "quality crap" really.
  
• What to do about my mum? No time to debate at length here, but it's making me sick with worry. Need to do something.
  
• Will I still carry on the life coaching course? Hard pressed for time right now, but it will be over with by November.
  
• Ran for nearly an hour yesterday. Very very slowly. I'm not sure whether to enter the 10km in October or not - I might just disgrace myself with a super-lame time.
  
• Vaguely related to the above, I've lost a few more pounds. It's coming off slowly, but steadily. Which is the way I want it, really.
  
• Spoken to my lodger and she's OK with me giving her notice. Big phew. Now there's nobody I need to avoid around the corridors of work.
  
• Going to the final peak at the weekend - up Scafell Pike!
  
• Books read recently - The Laments, The Ice House, A Map of the World, Jpod. All fluffy, but good.

i don't think that time should be as much of an issue for doing the race as much as accomplishing it in the first place :)

That's a very good point - thanks. I just get scared about these things, you know? Too many crappy games lessons at school where everyone finished miles ahead of me, and sat around waiting for me to finish.

Yes, do the race. You will not be last.

And if you were, you'd get lots of cheers!

It's good stress relief and a goal that's good without adding extra worry.

Yeah - I'll feel amazing when I finish, even if I'm last. I'm just having a PE lesson moment. Plus, the race has got blokes in it :/

Anyway, I have a couple of weeks when I've finished the training prgram to build up a bit more speed. I might have to pick your brains on that one...

YAY for snakes on a plane!!! I loved it and am glad you did as well :D Quality crap is about right - did your audience do the MST3K constant comment thing during the movie as well? That made the whole thing for me :)

And, imo, you should def. do the 10k - trust me, you will be glad you did (ok, not during it, but afterwards when you can say "hey, I ran a 10k!" and people are all "omg I couldnt run one block!" and then you feel fit and fabu :)

MST3K?
