Haven’t posted for a few days, but it’s not because I haven’t been running. I’ve been doing a lot of writing, but more on that later.

Tuesday was a workout with Anja after a 10km run in the morning. I’m always a bit concerned when we do kicks because my aim is bad and I worry about hurting her. I’m even more concerned when she starts counting down my reps backards - from 100… 99, 98, 97!! I’m having a ton of trouble with the bench press. It’s not too heavy but my left arm is a bit weaker than my right, so when I push up, my whole body starts to roll to the left and I nearly fall off the bench. Bizarre.

Had a rest day on Wednesday, and today I took Guinness out for about 9km. It’s still quite hot and I need to get up a bit earlier if I want to go further. Miss 8 was grumpy because I promised she could come with me, and she wasn’t awake. I can’t win because if I’d woken her up, she’d have been tired and grumpy anyway. It was a sluggish run and my calves are a bit achy, I think I don’t stretch them enough.

Back to writing - I’m having a go at writing ebooks and web content. I figure it’s one way of working from home without disrupting the family too much. My first package is an ebook on common things around the home that can poison your dog. I quite enjoy writing and I think I do a good job. I’m just waiting from some contact from a designer in Indonesia who has created a matching blog and website theme, and they’ll be offered as an upsell. I’ve got a ton of other ideas, but I think I really need to learn about html and website building a bit more. Any dog owning readers who’d like a copy to review for me (Andrew? Sara?), I’d be happy to zip it over to you.

I’m taking the children to Bunnings tonight for their Easter night. I’ll have to iron my hair I think. I had a perm about 3 weeks ago, and my hairdresser, who is usually wonderful, had just hooked up with a new boyfriend. She must have been a bit distracted because it was the worst perm I’d ever had in my entire young life. I literally looked like I’d stuck my finger in a power point. So, I went to a different hairdresser and had most of it chopped off. There’s not much that can be done with the frizz, but it’s a really nice style cut, and if I use a hair straightener, it looks really good. However, if I struggle to iron my clothes, ironing my hair is a long shot! I only do it if I’m going out.

The rest of the week is uneventful. Tomorrow I’ll probably take the kidlets out on their bikes while I run. I’m working tomorrow night and Saturday morning, and on Sunday I’ll do my long run with MBRR, and we’ll take the kidlets into the pet expo. I’m hoping to renew some old contacts so I can negotiate some industry support for my planned doggy funrun. In fact, I think my next ebook will be on running with your dog. I can have a good fiddle with that topic from many different aspects.
