Now for the wait

I'm quite an impatient person at times, although quite contradictorily many people who know me well say I am very patient. I think it really depends on the context. Here is an example - I decided I really really really wanted a heart rate + speed and distance monitor watch and I wanted it yesterday. However, I had the patience, some might call it common sense, to do the research and make sure I bought the watch that was right for me. Yes, yesterday I offed some of my hard earned cash (and Asia's too :) ) and bought the Polar RS800SD HRM and now I have to wait a week and a half for it to arrive from the states - arggghh frustration and impatience. I just want to go running with it. I know I have said it already but I really can't believe how much better I feel since I have started running again - it's great to have a positive goal outside of work and something else to focus on. I really can't believe I stopped after the half marathon last year but I had good reasons - major life changes, moving to Germany then settling in Australia among other things. Although a wise man once said don't change too many things too fast and maybe I did by stopping running although I have finally corrected the error now. I think one of the reasons why I am enjoying it so much at the moment is the training group I have joined. It's great to be able to run with other runnners!
