becoming queen of yoga and other things

Important things to remember

This is what I told myself as I pulled myself out of bed at 7:30 to go the gym before heading to my Economics course to become Queen of Economics. Somehow it didn't seem quite as inspirational and motivational as I sweated over a cross trainer but it is an important message. I am a very good person at being lazy and coming up with excuses so sometimes you need a really big page of writing on your bedroom wall to make sure you actually go running.

Saying that, this week has been good running wise. My first serious 5k race is TWO WEEKS TODAY and well I'm sorted for it because I beat my goal time yesterday. Hashtag I'm so awesome. Ok that's silly because it may have been a one off and my goal time was only 30 minutes anyway AND I'm not this egotistical in real life I swear but to be honest the fact that I ran 5k in UNDER 30 minutes is still pretty much blowing my mind. I might try and actually go for 26 minutes now I am that excited by my small but also really big success.

The other thing I tried this week was YOGA. I am the world's least flexible person and while it was good fun it was also super embarrassing because

1. It was like a strength workout NO ONE TOLD ME THIS I don't have any strength
2. I have no balance and kept falling over during serene moments
3. I have no flexibility and everyone else was like a dancing bird and doing scary things with their legs whilst I could barely touch my toes

However, I hate being bad at things so I will be back next Wednesday to prove (embarrass) myself again

Lowlight of the week was watching Chelsea lose the Super Cup 4-1. Sigh.

HAVE A NICE NEXT WEEK AND I THOUGHT OF SO MANY COOL THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT AND THEN FORGOT I WILL REMEMBER THEM NEXT WEEK I PROMISE
