MG - that is fantastic news about your boxing equipment!!! How exciting Do you have a picture of D's face on the bag for those evil training sessions? LOL
I'm doing well. Over the worst of my cold apart from an annoying cough and sore throat of a night time, hopefully that disappears soon. Have been ramping up my training a little bit, adding in more jogging during my walks. I think I'm going to get more structured though and follow the Couch 2 5k program so I can actually get an idea of my progress.

I feel so heavy when I run, like my feet are made of lead. Sometimes it's a huge effort just to put one leg in front of the other. I just have to keep telling myself it will get easier the more I do it and become accustomed to it. I really would love a new pair of shoes though as I think they might make a difference (if not it's a good excuse haha).

I've ordered a heart rate monitor which I'm very excited about! I really liked the Polar FT60 purple one but at over $255 (cheapest online) it didn't look like I was getting one any time soon. Then the other night, DH & I were browsing our rewards and frequent flyer points and saw they had one on there with the flolink (means I can hook it up to the computer) so I traded in some points and got one!!! Wheee!!! I soo can't wait to get it!

I need to start swimming soon as well so I'm ready for the triathlon. Going to ring a couple of swim schools tomorrow to see what the go is.

Nettie - well done on the walk! And yeah I agree with MG, consider the milk as weights!

christy - yay on joining the gym!! I hope that you can work out something re the kiddies and training.
