More Milestones

Went for my first run today since arriving almost a month ago. I've been carrying my running shoes since landing, and they have been mocking me as they gather dust. However, I feel the lapse in working out is somewhat mitigated since I've been super-busy with job search, general exploring, and my morning job. So it's not as though I've been sitting on my arse eating Tim-Tams. (Most of the time.) Anyway, had the afternoon off today and the weather was beautiful, so I thought it an excellent opportunity. Here is my run:


Notice how I've measured it in km? I decided it's better to just learn to live life in the metric system/Celsius rather than trying to convert all the time. Anyway, I was pleased because I went about 5k. I was NOT pleased when, upon my return to the Shack at Wairoa, housemate Anne was like "Is that you back already?" The "already" nettled me a bit and I wanted to be like "Um, YES bitch. How far have YOU run today?" Meow! But I fought my baser instincts.

Anyway, today was an excellent day in that I worked, went to the beach (!), AND got everything on my to-do list done. Okay, I'm tired of time off now and want to go back to working doubles every day. At least that way I've got enough $$ to support my Tim-Tams addiction. Below is the aforementioned confection in all its addicting glory:



Peace out my little chickens!
