Run like the wind

3 Mar

So, I didn’t die. I didn’t for a moment think my lungs might burst, and I didn’t have to cry or crawl or hang off anything lest I fall onto the wet grass and get bitten by ants. It seems I am a bit fitter than I thought I was which is almost disappointing, it seems living in Tokyo the land of infinate stairs and walking has actually done me some good.

I didn’t run heaps, I started off walking and then decided to run until I didn’t think I could keep going. I expected to last about 3 laps but I made it to 10. Noice. I did this a couple more times and then decided to go do situps and junk. You don’t wanna peak too soon, right? I usually throw myself incredibly deep into something, only to be so tired/sore/over it the next time I go to do it that I never do it again, so I’m trying to resist that approach this time around.

Seeing as I’m now exercised, showered, fed and dressed (I sound like a horse in a stable or some shit) I am tempted to make the most of this rare occurance and sort out of shit storm that is my room. It’s half unpacked, half rubbish tip with a hearty side of disorganisation and this doesn’t fly with me. I also want to find all my cool shit that I packed away before I left.

I’ve also started working on my “special project” site. Turns out there is actually a lot to it, and that making the actual site is the easy part. Who knew? I’m going to start writing content this week but I’m not quite sure exactly where to start. If there is anything you’d particularly like to read about drop me a comment or email or FB message.

    Hellos! I am still around and reading, albeit in a slightly more delurky mode. But I really should stop being such an all-around blogstalker!

    Anyways, I just wanted to say that I think this special project of yours is a great idea, and I think it’ll be a really interesting read. If you ever need any advice/help (for instance, I’d glady do a guest post for you if needed), get in contact :)

    –xo.

    It is good that you are fitter than you thought. I think I think I am fitter than I am, which is not such a good thing. Oh well!

    How exciting that your special project is taking form!!! I am so excited about it. I will have a think to see if I can think of anything to add…

    R., Hello! Lurking is totally sweet, I do my VERY fair share of it :)
    Guest bloggers are something I am totally keen for (as are a bunch of other people) but I just need to do all the ground work. You’ll be on my list as soon as I’m ready for helpers :)

    Lulu, it miht be good to think you are fitter than you are, you’ll always over extend yourself where as I probably don’t try as hard as I should for fear of not being able to do it. Do let me know if you have any ideas for the new site!
