For a change, I don't have a million things to catch up on. Is this what it's like to be organised? omg.
Fitness continues, running and walking around the Parklands, and I've finally come around to the bits I'm familiar with along the Torrens, which is the river that runs through Adelaide. Well, 'runs,' it's just sitting there at the moment, there being no rain to make the river flow, but still, felt a whole lot more lush and green than any of the northern parklands did. I'm less than a month now from the date I'll be attempting my 5km in 35 minutes, and feeling pretty sweet about it. Assuming I hit that (and even if i don't, tbh, tho I'll be surprised at this stage if I don't) I'll set a new goal of 5km in half an hour probably by the end of winter, then finally jetty-to-jetty in an hour.
OH I didn't go into the rewards bit! Every 5 kilos I'm rewarding myself with a new set of clothing items. First goal is undies, next will be socks, then bras, then pjs, then the one after that'll be my final goal so that'll be the whole wardrobe. Not all at once, but anyway. Baby steps. I hit the first goal a couple of weeks ago, so new undies! In the last couple of years I've really started making a conscious effort to try and buy Australian made, or at least Australian owned, and definitely natural fibres. I've had this page bookmarked since last year, so I've now bought one pair from everyone there. I'll give 'em all a couple of months of wear, then whichever's holding up the best I'll get a full set of. Currently think I'm most keen on Merino Country (made from wool, very comfy, comes in green) and Wonderpants (extremely comfy, also green) so we'll see how they go. It's been so long since I got new undies, this is the best.
March is coming up to when the writing comps I've been entering start drawing the winners. So far one's contacted me to say I didn't win, but eh. Honestly not expecting to place in any of them, but it's fun to be part of. I'm finally getting to write a story about my pigment hunter, who I've had ideas about for ages, so having a good time with that one in particular. Hoping to finish it tomorrow, then I can go back and edit for submission.
ALSO CRICKET. NOBODY CARES. BUT. South Australia is in the Sheffield Shield final! The last time we won it was 29 years ago! Today was day two and we're doing very well, planning to go down on Saturday, which'll potentially be the last day, and cheer on the boys. omg that would be so amazing.
