Powering through

I’ve been super productive today! 5 job applications done and sent off, a workout, viewed 4 apartments and went for extra walk because I got booted out of the apartment by the cleaners!

I set off for my run this morning and had no luck finding the trail :( . Boo. The run wasn’t much fun again! I can’t help but think while I’m running on these streets, that I’d rather be on a treadmill… Of course, once I’m done and home I experience the usual post run euphoria and tell myself it was fine. But honestly, today’s run was stinky (sewerage, cigarettes, dog pee, bins, car exhaust) and again I had to weave in an out of road works.

My thinking at the moment to avoid this issue is:

  • run on a treadmill twice a week
  • do the Peak hill walk twice a week
  • yoga
  • gym classes??
  • try and race as much as possible (at least the races are in decent locations)
  • find those damn trails everyone keeps talking about and run them on weekends as they are obviously not close to the apartment, that or I’m just blind). It could be that!

Post 30 minute run (all I could handle), I did:

  • Whittle my Middle 
  • 20 lunges each leg
  • 50 squats
  • 100 plies
  • stretching

Morning snacks were a mandarin and an Alpen bar plus I picked up a skinny capp takeaway on my way to meet the agent.

I trekked to 4 different apartments today all over the Midlevels. The stairs are killer but it’s such great exercise that I don’t care! I love all the incidental exercise everyone does in Hong Kong!

Lunch was a slice of wholemeal bread, goats cheese and a tomato with baby carrots.

While I was out dawdling around waiting for the cleaners to finish I stumbled upon the Orla Kylie shop :) . I restrained myself and didn’t go in, that could have ended in trouble…

Later, I broke from my applications to have this yummy afternoon snacky. Fage, a Fugi apple and the last of the bluebs.

Look how different the Fugi apples are here! And the skin has a completely different texture, but they taste the same. Strange!

They are SO tasty too! Love them.

I’m off to have another wander, meet Adam and the agent and then we are going to look at 2 apartments that I saw today which have the potential to be the winners! Yip yip! I’m a little over looking at apartments ;) LOL.
