So waking up yesterday and hearing the news of one of my earliest musical idols was almost heartbreaking for me. I was shocked to hear the news because I was eager to see what sort of ‘comeback’ he was going to have. I remember being a kid and watching Bad on telly and trying to dance like him and recreate the music video in the living room. My brother and I singing along to the entire Dangerous album. RIP Michael Jackson. Your songs will forever live in our memories.
On another note, I finally decided to take part in the Gold Coast Half Marathon that is next Sunday. I am getting nervous and eager to see if I finish it! 
I have been training hard and hope it will pay off. Got my accommodation settled and now I will have to sort out getting down to the Gold Coast. Anyway, would love if you would donate to my cause…
Till next time…

Official Time: 58mins
Placing: 1200 (almost to the end)
Either way I’m still proud. I’m still struggling to run but I’m still trying!

I have decided that I will not be doing the Gold Coast Half Marathon and instead will aim for the Melbourne Half Marathon in October. I was going to do the shorter event at Gold Coast but I’ve decided to fly down to Melbourne for a trip instead. Also the cost of a hotel, flights out of Gold Coast kind of spooked me and I just don’t like the idea of me having to get on a plane right after a 21.1km run. LOL. Small leg room and tight muscles just don’t mix.
I decided to take on a smaller task and a longer time frame to accomplish my goals because I got spooked. I didn’t think I could get it done in the time allotted for the race and would’ve felt terrible for even trying. It has been an uphill mental battle to get myself ready for the race. It isn’t because I can’t physically do it but it has just put a negative spin on motivating myself to do it. It instills fear instead of determination. Basically I am thinking what a crazy person I am to attempt such a feat. It is ok because I know the Gold Coast Half Marathon won’t go anywhere, yet. LOL and I am more comfortable preparing for the Melbourne Half Marathon.
I did the Mother’s Day Classic with the people from the running group and Zeph. I finished it in 58mins. Not too bad considering there must have been 10,000 people running. It was PACKED! I almost knocked a lady over because she refused to move after I said, EXCUSE ME! but clearly that wasn’t enough for her to let me pass. Got trapped under the start line could barely move and then got stuck under the William Jolly and got stuck again at one of the hills around West End. Wasn’t happy when some idiot 4wd decided he wanted to drive through the race. He was clearly not going to get anywhere because the 8km walk had started…. IDIOT!
Talking about battles… I have been fighting many battles (not just mental) and one has been the battle of the rashes. Now I have been breaking out in a bad case of rashes due to the sudden change in weather. It is now cold and very dry and I had a pretty bad case of rashes and they kinda looked like hives in the end… but after some intense moisturising sessions with Nivea, I decided to give Palmers Cocoa Butter a try and perfection. It has made an even better recovery on my rashes. I am using the one of sensitive skin and am now considering instead of getting some expensive Biotherm winter option, I might see if Priceline stocks the face moisturiser option.
I love winter… although it is still autumn but the weather is nice and cool. I can finally start digging out some clothes I haven’t worn for a while and might start going through the summer collection and decide what is too worn and needs to go.
Anyway that is it for me… thanks Lianne for encouraging the idea of London/Europe again in my mind. I seriously cannot make up my mind on where I want to go but clearly now isn’t the time. Not enough IT jobs about!!

It has been a while and it was mainly because I had been without the Internet at home for about 3 weeks. Moved house and now quite nicely settled. Also if you haven’t noticed there is a nice new layout change. I finally sat down and did something. I like it although it does lack some colour. I might just have to start posting with photos. Anyway, glad I have got a new plugin for this to stop spam. Over the last few weeks I had been inundated with at least 30 spam comments on my blog. It was a nightmare. But I no longer receive any spam comments! Let’s just see how long this lasts.
I have started on my half marathon training. I haven’t done as many runs as I have liked and I feel like I’m losing the battle to get it done. It is the long weekend and so we shall see if I do get out and run. With all this extra training I have lost some more centimetres! Hooray! Average of 4cm around waist, hips and thighs. You would be surprised that I would be with the amount of food I have been eating! Hahaha…
Anyway this is just a quick update to make sure I DO have some new content on here. I think I might have to work on the other areas of the website soon… i.e. get the portfolio up.
