Weight: 68kg
Savings: less than $0
With vague ideas of getting fit before my South American gaunt, I picked up a copy of Kerre Woodham's book "From short fat chick to marathon runner". Make no mistake, I have absolutely no intentions of running a marathon. Being able to run around the block nonstop would be a more achievable undertaking. I probably should add here that I'm of the very unfit, larger than Bridget Jones, but without the incredible bosoms, variety of woman. However after reading this I felt inspired. I felt that if a woman in her 40s who's by no means an athlete, can run 42km, then I can surely run a measly 10km. And so with the help of google and more than a couple of wines, I let everyone I know, know that I'd be running a 10km race in Wanaka next March. Once I sobered up I thought better of this idea, but too late. Training will begin today. Just as soon as I finish my wine...

I have grand plans, a grander spare tyre hanging over top of my jeans, a talent for procrastination and one less than empty savings account. I have also decided to lose myself in South America in less than 11 months and 10 paydays time. Un poco loco - quite possibly. Even crazier is my plan to scale one of the Andean peaks while there. And so a plan is hatched to get fit and save money before I get there. This is my diary.
