About Me

Hilde

I'm a 32 year old health & fitness fanatic! I run "Get Active Online" with my wonderful hubby Cam and when I'm not training others I'm off flying all over the countryside as a Flight Attendant. I strongly believe in practicing what I preach so this blog is all about my personal health & fitness journey, plus lots of good training & nutrition info.

If you have a question you want answered or just want to say hi, please leave me a comment.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

ADEALAIDE HERE I COME!

August 27, 2009 at 06:19:58

Mmmm Coffee! That’s what I need this morning and lots of it!!!

I’m off to Adelaide today as I’ve got the Adelaide Half Marathon on this Sunday. I was feeling very excited although after my big run on Sunday have been feeling a bit worse for wear. I don’t know if I picked up a bit of a lurgy or running in the heat and not enough fluids really took it’s toll (my own sill fault!!!! I can be a bit stubborn some times).

Anyway the plan was to go down to Adelaide on a nice respectable flight (not the first flight out for the day), although as I travel on standby (the joys of Staff Travel) I had to change my plans late last night. I thought I better check the loads as last night only to discover the flight I was trying to get on had no seats left! So last minute change of plans and I booked onto the 7am flight out of Mackay. I can’t believe how hard it is to get in and out of this town sometimes, I can’t wait until I can fly in and out of Cairns, so many more options. Anyway the plan is to travel around Australia today and end up in Adelaide at some stage.

I’m a bit frustrated as the early flight means I’ve missed my run this morning and I don’t think I’ll be able to play catch up (I haven’t missed one running session so far ( a whole 14 weeks, 6 to go!).

So the plan is to catch up with a girlfriend tonight and then my lovely sister has left me her car (although it comes with some bonus kids!) so I’ll head up to Mum & Dad’s and pick up my niece and nephew from school. I’m actually really looking forward to seeing them as I haven’t spent much time with the kids for a while now. We will all be hanging out at Nan & Pops and most probably making pizza’s for dinner, all having a sleepover (doesn’t it sound like so much fun!) and then spoiling Nana on Saturday as it’s her Birthday.

Saturday should be a fun day as my sister is getting some spunky photos taken (Dad’s a photographer)

She’s finally taken my advice (only after years of me trying) and been exercising regularly, eating well and in turn she is feeling fantastic and rewarding herself with some photos. So I’ll be there to help her out and make sure she has lots of fun in the process. She’s actually spoilt me and booked us a room on the beach down at Glenelg for Sat & Sun night. It’s girls only and should be heaps of fun!!!

Then on Sunday I’m doing the Half Marathon, geez I’m getting nervous just thinking about it!

I’ll most probably hang around in Adelaide on Monday then up to Cairns on Tuesday, Hobart on Wednesday, back to Cairns for the weekend and then down to Sydney next week and in another 14 days I’ll be home again. I wonder what it’s like to have a routine??? How easy would that be!

Anyway better go as my flight should be boarding soon!

Will be back soon with an update.

Have a great day.

Reading the amount of travelling you do makes me dizzy just thinking about it. I admire the dedication you have put into your training and not missing a session, I think alot of us could take a page out of your book. Congratulations, what an achievement already.
