At last a new post!

OK, so I have been a slacker on the blogging front!

A couple of things worthy of update...

1. I did the S.H.I.T Halloween Hash last Tuesday with ILYB. See pics below. Yes, the totally unoriginal pirates costume was resurrected. Had a great time and a horrendous hangover the next day.

2. I ran my first race in over a year on Saturday. It was only a 5k but I kicked ass. My previous PB was 25:37 and on Saturday I ran a 24:11!!!! Not only was it way faster than my previous PB, it was also sub 8 minute miles, which I had always aspired to but never thought I would achieve, AND I got 2nd place in my age group (it was a small race with few women - but the person who beat me was the fastest female there, running 17:38). GBOF also ran a great time of 21:32, which is the fastest 5k he has run since I've know him (although probably not his fastest ever), plus he was sick. All I can say is SPEED WORK ROCKS! Other then the speed training I have been doing every Tuesday for the last 6 months I have done very little running!
