Obsession
It's late and the mindless surfing of the net is not offering much joy. I've become very much obsessed with baking of late and have found myself digging through www.taste.com.au to find recipes to try. I ended up making 4 batches of cookies on teh weekend which the hungry hordes at work finished in one sitting (note, peanut butter and choc chip cookies are the absolute scrummiest evilness ever).
Contemplating entering my first competition run this Sunday, a 10km doozy. Although I am comfortably running 8km in the morning and about 5km at night, I seriously doubt my ability to sustain a decent pace over 10km with the extra pressure of other people running past me. There is a reason I run at 4:30am and straight after work before the rest of the business world comes home - I don't like the added pressure of someone behind/in front of me making me run at a faster pace than usual. Dislike competition with a passion, but I feel the need to do something with all my training. Ho hum. Maybe. I'm babbling, must be tired :)
We're off to Noo Zeeland in 5 weeks, then on to beautiful sunny Darwin for a wedding. Can't wait to go to Mindil Beach again and sample all the fine coozine. Mmm, yellow chicken sa-tee...they just don't make them as unhealthy as that down here. Must squeeze in a Parap Markets trip as well. We have another Darwin jaunt in August so if we miss it the first time around there is always another chance. So many people getting hitched!
Oh well..love to you all!
