i can't afford my life and i need to win the lotto

So i had a(nother) big night last night. had dinner with some mates and then met some others out for a drink. ended up at ruby rabbit till 4 thinking it was a great idea to get a bar tab on my credit card (in my defence - i have zero cash till pay day and tried to pay for a round with my credit card only to be told that the minimum for using your card is $50!!!!!). however, i thought it was an appropriate venue for easter sunday. anyway - i'm feeling rather sensitive today and have limited myself to a late rise and a picnic in the park with friends over from perth.

i have strength training on the program today so i will probably go to the gym or use some of the weights that i have here. i do however need to work out a proper program instead of just doing whatever i can remember or using whatever equipment doesn't have a scary man grunting loudly on it. anyone have any ideas of specific running related resources for some kind of weights program?

but i'm struggling a bit to be honest so not sure i will make it. but i have been so good so far this week!! seems a shame to miss today.

back to sweat tomorrow... eeek. should be good - but i still get a bit scared...
