Swandives

You know, I just tried three different titles for this post before I came up with the very original ‘running update’. I’ve run out of inspiration. I think it’s because I’m a wee bit snuffly and overtired. I ran a total of 24 km on the weekend - 14 km on Saturday and 10 km on Sunday. And over the past five days (not counting today, which was a rest day) I’ve done 38 km and a cycle class. Training, as they say, is in full swing. I tell you what, I better bloody well get my sorry bum over the 14 km of the City to Surf this year or I am going to lay down and weep as the world’s most useless jogger ever.

Now I didn’t really mean to go harping on about running in this post. It’s just that it seems all I do these days is work and run. I’m a bit bored with myself, to tell the truth. I know, I know…it’s temporary and once the running season is over I’m going to let my hair down. And in true girlie style I’m having an attack of the miserables right now. But I just wish I had a bit more to offer the world beyond running updates.

So in true, style, let’s talk Big Brother. Who do you reckon’s going to win? I think I’ll go out on a limb here and say Aleisha. I’d like a girl to win this year. Mind you, I have a simply awful track record with this show - not for picking a winner mind (it’s pretty good in that regard)…no, I mean, the people I really like never win. I wanted Chrissie to win the year Reggie won - I think that girl is tops, and it was only later I found out her surname is Swan, which made me even happier. Then I wanted Bree Amer to win - so there’s two runner ups. Bree’s fab and at least she has a gig on Friday Night Live. Then I wanted Vesna to win, and she came third. Last year it was Camilla but the poor girl never stood a chance with that bloody political football of a turkey slap thing.

Now Aleisha wasn’t my first pick for a winner - Travis was - but I think she’s got a good chance. So we’ll see.
