A day in my life: Wednesday January 12, 2011

Thoughts:
Yesterday K. was back at work. She has been on vacation to Las Vegas en Los Angeles and I really missed her. I gave her a gift for her birthday (J’Adore by Dior) and she got me a present too. She had bought me an Adidas shirt for Pilates (pink of course).

As we both are huge Twilight Saga fans and are both on Team Edward we decided a while back that we would see every movie with Robert Pattinson together. As there are two new movies with him coming out soon I thought I should remind her about that. I send her the following email:

Dear K.,

Hereby you are invited for the Robert Pattinson Movie Club. Only accessible for RP fans who like to see the movies he plays in.

Members: K. and Fran

Purpose of the club: see his new movies in the cinema on a movie date.
Excluded: the Twilight Saga because K.’s husband loves those movies too.

Upcoming  movies:
Bel Ami February 17^th 2011
Water for Elephants April 27^th 2011
Cosmopolis 2012?

The RP is a secret society, new members can only join the club by invitation. If you want to join the movie club, fill in the application form below and

reply the email:
Yes, I want to join
No, find someone else

Of course she answered yes, which means we have to plan two movie dates 🙂

Exercise:
Yesterday I went to Pilates. I haven’t been to a class in 3 weeks and I looked forward to going again. I wasn’t disappointed, it was a great class as usual. We worked mostly on the muscles in the back and abs this time.

Today I had to do 8K (5 miles), slow warming up for 2K, then 4.8 at a 7:08/km pace and cooling down for 1.2K. Am I boring you already when I said it was another great run in the book? I’m proud of myself because:

• It rained hard with a lot of wind
• It got dark halfway the run and I was running where there were no street lights
• I ran 8K after a day of work for the first time since I started running
• Oh and did I mention it rained?

I was soaking wet when I got home. I was glad R. made dinner that was almost ready. I took a shower first and then we ate.

The only bad thing during the run was that the zipper of my jacket finally completely died. Luckily I had a water belt so I could keep it together. But the first thing I did tonight was buy a new jacket online. My workout/running clothes have to fit properly so I won’t have to worry about that during workouts/runs.

While running I thought at myself: I ran in snow, I ran at temperatures below zero, I ran in heavy rain with a lot of wind, I even ran in a storm once. Why should I even think about running indoors at the dreadmill? I decided that I will run outside always from now on except when the roads are too icy or when there’s a weather alarm on the news.

Stats:
Weather: rain, rain, rain, lots of wind, 6C/42 degrees.
Distance: 8 K / 5 miles
Time: 00:58:25
Average time: 7:18 /km
Average speed: 8.2 km/hour
Last song on Ipod before finish: Bruce Springsteen – Cover me.
