A Fly Babe

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

It's been a little while since I last sat tapping at my keyboard to update you.... We had a little holiday in Blackpool last week... So many people warned me not to expect too much, that it really wasn't very classy... those people clearly don't know me very well.  I can have fun just about anywhere. The drive down was fairly easy, not much traffic so we got there in just over 3 hours.  Checked in to the hotel and went straight to the beach.  Yes you heard correct THE BEACH!!! we had glorious weather while we were down there so much so that I have come back with a lovely tan.  Many have commented if they hadn't known any better they would have thought I went abroad... We walked along the beach front and well didn't do much at all the first day, what bliss :-) The Wednesday we booked to go to Blackpool Pleasure Beach... I got to act like a kid all over again... I love thrill rides, if I could I would have gone on every single ride there even all the children
