I promised myself I would run this morning, unless it was raining. Well, it wasn't raining so I went for a run. The huge gales of wind made it a lot harder than it should have been, and I should also have taken some water with me, as my throat dried out very fast.
I went a different route today! Ok, so usually, I start at my building (duh) and run up Hobson St to the blind gardens, run around on the grass there and then head back the same way.
Today was a huge departure because I ran from my building and then took a left up past Wellington Girls! I ran up that street past the supermarket and Thorndon pool and inhaled an awful lot of commuter C02. At the American embassy I turned right and took my ordinary route home. The new route was a lot harder, because the road is ever so slightly inclined and apparently running uphill even that small amount is really, really hard. It made the home stretch rather nice though, because it's flat.
Now, I'm really keen to run again on the weekend and have it be heaps easier and fun. Fingers crossed anyway.
Other news? Snickerdoodles cooked on the bottom of the oven melt into one enormous Mega-Doodle. Still tasted good. I have a lot of dishes to do when I get home, but I'm feeling pretty good for the excercise so if I don't fall asleep in my lunch hour it should be fine. I may have fish'n'chips for lunch again...because I am that evil.
PoF: inklined and skirt
CO: running? Really?
