Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test... NBPS - The Idealist You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

Getting ready...

Training is going well despite the lousy weather (thanks mainly to the gym!). We've been doing a lot of cycling, cross-training, and treadmill. I absolutely hate the treadmill !!!!!! Going for another long-distance this Sunday. Between 15 and 17 miles is the plan so wish us luck!!

Long distance - runaround

We did 14.4 miles on Sunday - furthest yet... and it was just short of goal-pace for the Marathon! Good progress. Next week is a 7 mile speed/endurance run, which is good as we're going out the night before :D

PB's all round!

Both of us achieved PB's at the gym last night. It's getting easier to go further and faster - I managed to do 45 mins non-stop running (4.6 miles) ... looking forward to seeing how it affects Sunday's endurance run/walk :) On a sad note, we lost Toby last night - he went very peacefully at the ripe old age of 16. Gonna miss ya Tubbs!!

Tae Fighter... Thank you Master Choe !!

Will is doing great in Tae Kwon Do - Master Choe and his black belt team are an awesome site to watch. Their training method is tough, but obviously enjoyable - from 4yr old and up you can see how much they're learning. Good stuff :D As for marathon training... it's all going well - although we were supposed to do a long tarmac run today, we are going to the gym later. Sam had a late night last night as she went to a George Michael concert! (And yes, she was singing along with the Wham songs!)
