Life has been pretty busy since my last post;
* a trip to the Glass House Mountains that involved a 30km trail race (4th female)
* Blue Dog's birthday
* annual work ball
* my step-daughter's 21st
* a wedding
* baby sitting a beautiful red cattle dog whilst my parents are away for a couple of weeks
Although life has been hectic and I have not blogged for a couple of weeks, my training has continued as usual and am feeling pretty good about my forthcoming marathon. Too much detail to bore you with!
I have adjusted well to my medication, and I have already lost a couple of kilograms even though I was told not to expect any weight loss for at least three months.

..............
1 September
I had every intention of running the Striders 10km, however I woke up feeling extremely nauseous. This feeling remained with me most of the day and I felt a little guilty have missed my race, so I decided to just go for a run and hope for the best. I ran my usual 7km circuit, and pushed the paced in the last 3km running at sub 5min km pace.
2 September
I meet Deanne, Kerry, Ray and latter Helen for our Sunday run. We went in search of the "feral fence", but not luck we had easy access down Macquarie Street, Sydney Opera House and the Botanic Gardens. We ran a total of 25km at 5:50/km pace, and I was really happy to finish.
3 September
Rest day. I actually had the day off work on sick leave, as I still felt a nauseous and little off colour. For the record, I am not pregnant, I was diagnosed with diabetes roughly three weeks ago, so my body is adjusting to the medication.
4 September
This morning was one of our hard SWEAT sessions. That included 1 lap of the white fence followed by a jog recovery, then a 2nd lap of the white fence, jog recovery and finish with a 1km rep. This morning the wind was a real challenge and so was my stomach, so I just concentrated on my form and ran strong. I was pleasantly surprised to finish with a session PB. I have checked my records and I pleased with the significant improvement;
10 July = Lap 1 (18:17) Lap 2 (18:34) 1km (5:07)
31 July = Lap 1 (17:38) Lap 2 (17:42) 1km (4:42)
4 Sept = Lap 1 (17:22) Lap 2 (17:16) 1 km (4:34)
