Roadrunners last night, and another really hard session. It was touted as a "bleep test for endurance running", and it really did work out like that. We had to do 400 metre laps, with a 60 second recovery between each one. You started at your 10k pace (so a 1.38 lap for me) and then each subsequent lap had to be 2 seconds faster...
I've been a bit lax since the half marathon, and my mileage has dropped right off. Joining Reading Roadrunners has made me realise just how much I need to do in order to meet my own targets. My weekly mileage is about half what it needs to be, and my weight is slowly, slowly creeping up.
Most of you are aware that the word "brief" could accurately be used to describe my university experience previously. Other good words that could be used with equal accuracy are "stoned", "pissed" and "Championship Manager". I don't think I ever really gave it a good enough go and that has bugged me ever since.
I've done a fair amount of flying this year. I've been round the world once on my own money with byrn and am doing pretty good on the company by almost immediately heading back to southern California after getting back from the world trip. Now on the theme of a bit beyond a joke I've got to fly out to the US again for at least a week and I only got back from the last trip a week ago.
So I started in a new position at work today, I was supposed to start last week but due to having to fly out to the US on short notice I was doing other things instead. Ostensibly I will be working for sales as the companies new (and at the moment only) Software Applications Engineer (or self addressed envelope) for EMEA (which is Europe, the Middle East and Africa but mainly just Europe).
I'm in the process of changing my main email account...
This may be something really numpty, however I'm new to this entire house thing still.
Happy Birthday Andy.
Every cloud, they say, has a silver lining. today should be Pieday, however due to everyone being lightweights it's not, so I ended up wandering round the Oracle, only to see that Game had Wii Fit in stock!
One of these arrived in the post this morning...
