| Lorna Jane anyone?? |
Well this week has seen me slowly back to running decent
distances as it took me a little longer to recover from my chest infection than
I thought! Ugh, sickness blows! It was a fun week, totalling 100k. I have been a little flat since my DNF so it
was nice to get back to some regularity and normality! A highlight on Thursday was something
completely different to normal, a 1hour run on a treadmill for Team Gloria
Jeans at Hinkler Central Shopping Centre for the Cancer Council. The girls at Lorna Jane did plenty of
stirring and by the end my big old face was sore from smiling so much! Thanks for a good laugh ladies and it looked
like a good amount of coin was raised for a worthy cause! Good job to all involved, even though I had
to wear a shirt!
I also got news this week that I was un-successful in my
application for Coast 2 Kosi. I was
actually telephoned by the organiser and he had a great, lengthy discussion
with me about my entry, sandals and the race in general. After chatting about a number of points, it
was consensually decided that I would delay doing the race for at least a year
and keep ticking the k’s over in my huaraches.
Although I think I have more than proved myself in my Jesus footwear, I
do understand that they have to think about insurance, blah, blah….the joys of
organising a race! All good though and
stoked that he phoned me personally to talk over their concerns.
So, after my flatness and not being accepted into C2K, this
week has also seen me pondering the rest of the year. I have decided to do something different and
entered Kurrawa to Durranbah, a 50k road race on the Gold Coast in
December. It should be nice and cold and
an easy race. Yeah right! It will be hot and ripper fun! I am looking forward to it and have been
trudging out a few k’s in my roadie sandies getting ready for the different
terrain! What’s a boy to do!
I have also been thinking globally and acting locally….ok
maybe not but it sounded good! I wanna
have a big end to the year and pulverise myself with some super fun, big
distance, consistent running. Now I
kinda set myself a similar goal earlier in the year but only got about a month
in before getting sick or injured, I can’t remember…so here we go again.
Tomorrow is Monday the 1st of October, 13weeks
aka three months until the end of the year.
I am going to aim to do a minimum of 100miles per week (160km, come on
people, haven’t we figured these things out yet!?), eating a clean vegetarian
diet and aiming to get to my goal weight (still!) which I will reveal in later
posts, but is under 75kg’s! So friends,
that is a total of over 2000km in three months…OH THE BLISS!!! I will also be
running in my usual attire, as little clothing as possible, namely a pair of
shorts, maybe a head covering sometimes and either sandals or barefoot. Summer is coming and I hate being restricted
by silly inventions like shoes and shirts!
If ya cant handle that, stop looking at the tattoos! Ha!
GOOD TIMES!
So there it is, another ridiculous adventure in the life of
the TattooRunner! I will be aiming to
post on each Monday, the previous weeks runs and how things are
travelling. If ya not interested in
this, just ignore my ramblings!
As a final note, I have also made an exciting link this week
with Luna Sandals. I am now an affiliate
partner and you will see their link/maybe some small advertising for their
products on my blog. If you know anyone
who wants to buy some (or you do!)and give them a burl, I am more than happy to
chat to them about how awesome they are and how FREE the will feel prancing
around in them! Further to that, if you
or any friends wanna grab some sandals or their clothes etc, please go through
the link on my blog as it will then feed back to them that the TattooRunner is
doing his job in promoting the awesomeness of the Luna Monkey! As a side point, they are releasing the BEST
SHIRT EVER in a couple of weeks. A
baseball style shirt with a cartoon drawing and the slogan ‘Good enough for
Jesus, Good enough for a Spartacus, Good enough for you!’ YES!
Well homies and hometts as usual it has been a pleasure
doing business with you all! I can not
wait to see, hear, smell you all soon and pray that you are looking after your
mum and being nice to strange people, just like me! Y’all the reason I am still here typing my
nonsense so keep enjoying it if you will!
Love you all…RUN ON
