Hmmm I have a feeling that this blog is going to slowly die a death. This running addiction has meant I am concentrating on aineruns.blogspot.com a lot more and leaving my friends and family behind ;) Just had a quick read over the last essay of a blog and decided to try and keep this one short....I promise I'll try!
Updates from the last blog:
Funding? Umm....well on the last step which is my contract being sorted and I was told it should be completed the end of this week which means I will start getting paid and maybe my IOU the end of this month! Things are finally moving in the proper direction and quickly. Now to pin them down and actually get money in my account the end of March!!
Running? I am still running! Less then 3 weeks until the Prague Half Marathon and I am ready! I have trained a little different to last time as I want to be super ready for this one! Last time the last couple long runs were 9, 10, 8, 10, 12 (miles) and this time I'm doing 10, 11, 12, 12, 14 (miles). I have so far kept it up and am going to either do 13 or 14 this week. Was talking to Holly and she thinks the 2mile jump might be a bit. I'll have a see how I'm feeling. Thursday is supposed to be the hottest day of the week and that's the day I wanna run....hmmm....oh and now I run during the week instead of Saturdays as I want to have my social life back! Plus there seems to be a lot on these last couple weeks compared to last training. So in short, running yes!
Science? I am still in the lab doing the same stuff and haven't taken a break. I think we all realised that wasn't going to happen. I do enjoy it too much and staying in the lab unpaid for the time that I did means that they will pay me even from when my contract wasn't sorted. My data is also going to be presented at a big conference tomorrow so that'll be fun!! Just to now find out if I'll be able to submit for a poster in July....I would love that! **Nerd Alert!**
Other then those major points what else has happened in London? Not much really. I had a visit from Niall O'Sullivan which was really cool! He was on his way home for a holiday from South Korea, I won't see him for another year and it'd been a year since I'd seen him so it was really great catching up with him!! Karolina finally visited from Nottingham too which was great. Herself and Ben came down to her friend Monika and we got a nice pub evening with them which happened to link in with Niall too. Sean Proctor has been on my couch the last month, month and a half. He missed London too much so decided to have another go and get off the dole at home! The weather has been crazy, snow, ice, sunshine and wind in all about the last month! It's now a 15degree day outside I think with it getting to 18 on Thurs! Holly is still training for the London Marathon and got up to 20miles last weekend. She is one crazy girl!
Think that's enough rambling for one lazy Monday! Now to actually get some work done so I can go play in the sun!!
