New shoes no more

So, I was meant to attend a Body Pump class at the local gym tonight with a friend, but sadly that has been postponed to another day.

Naturally I could have sat around just doing nothing but instead I decided to go for a run. Yes I did it, I have Christened my new running shoes. What a comfortable run they have given my feet and knees.

The weather on the other hand didn't help me along, about 3km from home the heavens opened and the wind started to blow, any runner will tell you running against the wind is hard work. But still, I managed just over 9km in 67min and the route on my Nike running app shows green all the way, which means I managed to keep a good constant pace. May just be turning into a running machine.

I've just got out the longest, hottest bath filled with muscle soak and bubbles, but I think I will be in desperate need of a leg rub tomorrow....

But for now I'm going to just sit and relax and make a mental list for things to come tomorrow.

Nighty night all xx

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

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...

Massive Night!!!

As you know my week was manic, I hardly slept all week constantly thinking of the big event I was organising for Saturday afternoon. I got up rather early on Saturday morning, following a few hours of broken sleep.  Got to work at 7.00am and the day started full swing....  At that moment I never envisaged being awake and on my feet for 24 HOURS!!!! The day went so much smoother than I could have expected, so much so, that there is talk of doing it again next year... BRING IT ON!!! When I eventually got home around 5.00pm I had a quick shower, bite to eat and started my prep for the night out on the town with the girls.  Wasn't sure how long I would last but I was determined to go out and have a good night... It was a fab night, started with drinks at someones house, met some lovely new girls we just hit it off and it was fab, one was a mad maniac just like me, who walks in to a place grabs a drink and heads straight to the dance floor!! We went from one place to the next
