I can now run 30 minutes (very, very slowly). So what do I do next? I'm still covering about 3.5 Km in those 30 minutes, so I really need to extend the range, without massively increasing the time I'm running. Hmmm.
In other news I've finally got my new car. It's very blue, but that's about all the information I'm going to give about it, just in case car-jackers read blogs.

Another girl, another planet.
Still training for my run - this week it's 15 minutes run, 1 minute walk, then another 15 minutes run. It was a bit of a struggle, but I'm still on target. It feels strange as most people are doing a Race for Life now, while mine is 6 weeks away (or so.. not that I'm counting Lol!). I'm worried that I'll be outpaced by my running partner - apparently she's training at a faster pace (12 minute miles, where mine is about 15 minute miles, barely a brisk walk). My only hope is I'm training for longer durations, so that might balance out in the end.
It's Marks birthday in a week - he's not a happy bunny as it is a major milestone birthday. I only hope he doesn't take the approach favoured by Mark Oaten to cope with turning 40 and losing his hair.
I'm still dreaming about the Sisters of Mercy. This is wrong on so many levels. Andrew Eldritch get out of my dreams!!

Hot metal and methedrene
It's been a busy month for me - I've had customers working in the centre pretty much every day and even when I was on holiday I was sitting in on conference calls to try and stop things going out of control.
My running is progressing, I can now run for 12 minutes, have a rest, then run for another 12. My goal is to be running for the full 30 minutes before the end of the month. I honestly didn't think I'd get this far in the training, but I'm determined to improve my fitness.
Last week I went to see The Sisters of Mercy and they were fantastic. I can't believe I'm getting the goth love all over again and I keep looking at innapropriate clothes on ebay. My only misgivings regarding the performance of The Sisters were related to the quality of the sound system they had used, the vocals by Mr Eldritch were as powerful as I'd imagined them to be. I even ended up in the mosh pit for the last part of the concert.
