It's almost the weekend!

No workout today because I was at this free running seminar at Running Fit.

It was a really informative seminar for a beginner runner like me - it reinforced and confirmed a lot of the things I was already doing right and also showed me where I could make improvements. Brian Schepisi, who ran the seminar, is director of Sporting Spirit and he knows his stuff. Although the session was only about 45 minutes long, he took us through the basics of putting together a training program and even had time for questions at the end. Of course, question time became more of a diagnostic "what's wrong with me?" time, as people mostly had questions about injuries and asking about their own specific injuries. Me included, heh heh. Although I snuck my question in after the session ended so I didn't have to bore people with my life's dramas (or in this case, why the inside of my knee and ankle hurt sometimes).

I think I might soon be getting to the stage where I'll need a running coach/fitness trainer to guide me through building up my mileage, and also to ensure that I remain as injury free as possible!

On another note, I wasn't quite eating properly today. Got to work on time, then got caught up for a good half-hour before I could go get coffee. Next thing I knew it was 10.45am and I still haven't had breakfast. Bad. Bad.

As a result I only had lunch at close to 3pm, and dinner at 8pm after I got home from the running seminar. Lunch was a lamb borek and fruit salad, I had a Kellog's snack bar at the seminar (they were giving them out), and dinner was leftover pork dumplings (five of 'em), stir-fried veggies and mushrooms I 'stole' from Jerm, and rice. I stopped eating after 8.30pm because of my blood test tomorrow. Or rather, I think I'll finally get around to doing that blood test tomorrow.

Oh, and to add to the schedule of busy-ness, we've got dinner on Wednesday next week with another couple of friends, and on the Thursday before the Easter break I'll be catching up with a whole bunch of ex-workmates and we're probably gonna a) drink ourselves silly and b) go eat cheap Vietnamese food or c) both. But first, I need to get these nasty assignments out of the way!
