Long awaited run!!!

After a 2 week forced time out from any form of exercise following IT Band Syndrome.. Now for those that don't know what that is, let me give you a quick run down... Basically it's a running injury, if I found more time to stretch out properly after my extensive running sessions I wouldn't have had the injury. 

Doctors orders was 2 weeks no exercise, lots of extensive stretching and Do-It-Yourself tennis ball physio, it was hell.  For those that know me well, any forced time off from exercise I don't deal with very well at all, but having to then roll a tennis ball into my upper thigh and Gluteus Medius, firmly enough to bring tears to my eyes helping to break up the deep tissue knotting I had and relax the Ilitobial Tract wasn't pleasant... Yes I have been avoiding the injury for some months just hoping it would go away on its own, so I only have myself to blame

Saturday morning was time to break my exercise ban and go for my first run, I was up early got ready, walked out the door and thought I must be mad, set my running app, realised it was only 2 degrees outside, but hey it's now or never.  With some of my favourite songs Train and Kings of Leon songs blasting their way into my head I set off.  I ran about 3km and it started to snow??  Really!!! I made my way back home and was surprised that all in all my first run I managed 6.3km with no problem.  Yes Yes I did stretch out properly after.

The rest of the day was a bit manic... grocery shopping, getting Jarred ready for his street dance performance on the pitch before the Cobblers match.  Tamzin ready for a birthday party.. cooking dinner feeding everyone, watching a movie with the kids and getting them to bed..  I now have some time to put my feet up, drink my Crabbies, and well sit here and hit the keys on my net book..  While Ian is out doing who knows what on his night out with mates....

But I have something to keep me occupied... I have been looking for a while for a new series of 50 shades type of books to read.  I decided on one series with the first book called Destined to Play, although they have some rather controversial reviews, I decided to get them anyway, I'll decide for myself thank you very much.

I started the first book last night and at first I found myself thinking this woman must me mad even contemplating these things... but on reflection its the type of book that allows you to escape, and well...  Imagine what it would be like...  But I will be getting into the rest of book one once I am done on here... hmmmmm

So I will leave you with that for now...

Hope you have enjoyed the read.. ;)  xx

Another night on the Town.... Can i handle it !!!!

Yes it seems my younger counterparts have surfaced and are keen to go out again this Saturday night.. So am I up for it again???  Why not.  I don't get to do this very often and I'm sure I can handle one more night out on the Town... and besides its a long weekend ahead so I will have more time to recover... Of course now  I will need to find something to wear.... Any suggestions??? Thankfully I wont have any snow to deal with this weekend - well so far there is none forecast which means I wont freeze half as much..  and of course it will be safer walking around in heels.. Well some shopping is on the cards the next few days I think.. Question is can these young ones keep up with me???  I hope so - but they don't seem to make them like they used too...

Run Run Run!!!

Sunday 9 June - my Race for Life.. I was ready, even after my little holiday, even though I didn't get much running in during the holiday I did a fair amount of walking and I managed to be good and not over indulge in anything other than Thrill Rides :-) Got to Abington ready to hit the ground running so to speak... It was a cool morning overcast with a slight breeze blowing.  Everyone around me had coats and jumpers on... I didn't need one I was so excited for this run... Run started and it was going well,  however, I don't know why so many women decide to start with the runners in the front of the race only to end up walking the rest of the way... due to this I had to overtake large groups of walkers along the way who tend to walk on the flat even path.  This means I need to overtake them on uneven surfaces, half way round I managed to twist my ankle. This wasn't going to stop me finishing the race though, so I carried on through the pain and completed it in 7

The day after the night before...

Well I survived the night out and had a great time... Even though I literally froze my butt off while walking from one place to the next... I stuck to the plan and wore my chosen outfit, and was glad I took the black leather jacket with to keep me warm during our walk from one place to the next.. Started off with a few drinks (a couple of glasses of wine and about 3 Raspberry sours shooters before we went out), meant that i didn't feel the cold too much - I'd hate to think how it would have been if I was completely sober. The only downside to the evening was when, at one of the venues, I went to the little girls room to look for my friend who's birthday it was, and after making a wee* (excuse the pun)  pit stop myself, when I returned to the bar I noticed that the group of 8 or so had left... No way.... They have left me behind... I was not happy..  although I had an idea as to what the next stop would be, I had no idea on how to get there and in which direction I s
