Running Makes Me Happy

Posted on

That is the slogan on a new shirt that I bought online this week. Love it!!

This week I have taken it easy on the running side, as I don’t want to wear myself out for my biggest run yet. The Canberra Times Fun Run, 10kms of road from Woden to The Lake. I am going to challenge myself to get it done in as close to 65mins as I can. Anything under that will leave me elated. I ran 3 times around out Mountain last weekend and I am guessing that it was about 7.5lms. I know I can do the 10km, I just want to do it well.

I started my new job last week and while I was just observing and having to recall a lot of jargon and teminology it was OK. Yesterday I actually did some hearing tests of clients. The last time I did a hearing test would have been in 2002, so technology has changed and that is what I found to be the biggest challenge. My head was spinning at the end of day just trying to get my head around the machines and equipment. This time next month and I’ll be cruising.

Meg got the weekly trophy for good dancing last week. It is what they aspire to get, and she was so delighted. It is funny how such a small thing can actually be quite a big thing, and also such a confidence booster. She had to return it this week and was sad to hand it over, but not before she showed EVERYONE.

I hear a baby crying, awoken from her sleep and needing me to pick her up. Have a great weekend.
