(More than) slightly stoked

Today I ran five km for the first time ever (without stopping).

Woodiddlyhoo!

And not on the treadmill, on the road. I drove to the gym, then went for a run around Evans Bay before my workout.

The 5km took me 31 minutes - not that fast, but actually better than I thought I would do. Once again I would like to thank the Wellington City Council for installing these little doohickeys around the waterfront - there's one every 500m for 6.5km.

After that I did a full body workout - gotta admit the leg stuff was getting pretty hard after that run.

Been another gorgeous day here - can't remember the last time we had such a lovely long weekend. It did mean I didn't get as much work done as planned, but tomorrow is another day...

There's still lots of chocolate lying about the house in post-Easter temptation style - but I'm not tempted. Okay, actually I am, but I'm resisting. Successfully.
