Almost through the 2nd week for 2008 and I have finally got a chance to catch up. I was supposed to be competing tonight (athletics) but I was the one who dipped out on the car, so here I am sitting at the computer. Not to worry gives me 5 minutes to myself for a change and I was feeling really tired this afternoon. I'll just jump on the treadmill shortly and that always makes me feel better..strange!!

I am really glad to be over Christmas/New Year and all the trimmings that go with it. I was away for a week and didn't actually do any training at all and not to mention the food/drink bit. After arriving back from Sydney Friday night- after a bit of drama with the flight and a diversion to Brisbane because of the weather- I trained on Sunday morning and just felt so lethargic. Thankfully I had someone to train with or I'm sure I would have pulled out of the session. I got through it but it was soo hard. At least it gave me a wake up call that unless I get myself into gear I am not going to do too well at the end of March.

My next comp is Jan 19, so will test out my 800m at that one. I really need to get to that 3 minute mark or I am not going to be competitive. Thats my goal for the 800 this year.

Work has been busy. After the few problems at the end of last year I am still feeling good about where I am heading. I have decided to stay in my current situation, not ideal, but I feel that I can make it work. Having been trying to please too many people last year I now know that I wasted my energy which could have and should have been directed into my own business. Can't believe it is almost 12 months since I left a paying job, but even though it has been a struggle I do not regret my decision and will not give up on my dream.

I think I had better think about that run on the treadmill now or it is not going to happen!
