Survival

I felt like I deserved a bit of a skive after the hell of my upgrade meeting- but on the plus side I passed. This means the ball is well and truly in my court- If I want to stay I can stay, if I want to leave.. Tim was really harsh and asked loads of difficult questions in his usual, smiley annoying way. But it doesn't matter- he's my supervisor, so he won't be on my actual viva if I make it that far. After saying I was going to carry on as normal this week, I was knackered after my upgrade, so I took Wednesday off, and basically did sod all yesterday. I'm still really tired, so back to full speed next week I think :). I've had a good week, its been nice to be able to sit infront of the TV playing the sims and knitting (not simultaneously though). We collected Andy's old TV from his house last night, so the olympic swimmers no longer perform in a purple pool under a purple sky, it's kinda dull.

I've also stuck to The Plan- that which guides and commands us (well, actually its my running timetable- from 0 to steady running in 6 weeks apparently!). Me and Jac have just finished week 1 of The Plan, and I'm actually enjoying it. Well, kindof. We went out in the rain today, and I was wearing a jacket that Andy has given me that is around 4 sizes too large, so makes it look like I've forgotten to put my shorts on :). Jac wanted to jog reeeealllllyyyy slllloooooowllllyyy today, which was a little frustrating. She went out yesterday to make up for not going Wednesday, so didn't want to overdo it. She managed to fall at the last junction, and land on her bum- which is bad since she fractured her bum bone 6 months ago. She told me to carry on without her, so I sprinted the last minute and felt beter for it- although I must have looked like a bitch going back into the house and saying 'no Jacqui's not with me, I left her injured in the street'. She's ok though. I might go out by myself tomorrowsince I don't think today was really intense enough. I have to push myself a bit otherwise I won't be fit enough for the 5k. Its great doing a new sport, especially since it gives me the oportunity to spend money I don't have on cool new gadgets :).

I should at least pretend to do some work now...
