Jumping on the Half Mara' Bandwagon

I'm Ba-ack...  As most of you know, I recently came back from conquering the mighty Inca Trail in Peru. It was challenging both physically and mentally and the whole reason I joined 12 wbt. Since coming home from my amazing holiday I've been worried about slipping back into bad habits and have been on the hunt for a new goal and something to focus on to keep myself motivated...

So ladies and gentleman - drum roll please.... 

With a little encouragement from running pals, I have registered for my first ever 10km fun run in December! And with any sort of the luck, if that all goes well, I hope to go onto a half marathon in July and compete in the Australian Outback Marathon around Ayres Rock. If not, then there's always a Half in Paris in October. The possibilities are endless.  But then again, if my bank balance doesn't allow this to happen I'll happily settle for the Run Melbourne or Melbourne Marathon as well. (I'd be interested to hear what your favourite fun runs are too).

My 8km run last night 23 Oct '13
Crazy you might say, I know, but I'm excited.. I've even started a running group and also going to Luluemon's free running group on Saturday mornings. For each run I do, I intend on taking a photo of my GPS / HR monitor to track my progress and report back. I think it's the best way to make me accountable and see where I can improve.

So starting with my PB 8km run last night...  Still a long way to go and need to work on the pace, if I'm gonna crack the hour time for my 10k.

And of course my blog wouldn't be a blog without my foodie pics, so here a few of my latest.. I've been re-visiting some of my 12wbt fav's...

Vegetarian Taco's
Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni
French Toast
Bimbap Meal
Baked Beans on Toast
