This the tamest Melbourne Cup Day I've ever had (no alcohol!) but an enjoyable one at that. Got up this morning and went for a run around Princes park. Did 2 laps which is about 6-7kms and managed to avoid the rain. Felt awesome after the run and it was nice to exercise outside of the gym for a change.
Then got ready and went over to my sister's for the arvo, stopping off at the TAB on the way of course. I bet $40 all up and I think I won back about $50, so at least I got my money back. I pretty much do the same thing each year, bet on every race but put hardly anything on each horse. It's more for the fun of watching the race and cheering my horse on. Or yelling at it for losing...
My sis had a sleep while my BIL went for a much craved bike ride. He is an avid cyclist and was feeling out of sorts as he hasn't been on the bike in over a week. Although, he has hardly slept in the last few days, he needed the bike ride to unwind and get out of the house.
I feel quite tired now...I'm craving a day at home with books and DVDs...but too much to do at the moment. I need to find a job soon and I am trying to finish the first draft of my novel by the start of December (are my priorities out of whack? haha).
I started a new challenge yesterday to write 50,000 words for the month of November. Yesterday I wrote 795 words which was 871 words short of my daily challenge (of 1666 words)! Check out my daily progress here: www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/731661
