A Fly Babe

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...

Been so busy this week time has flown by... still have so much more to do but I am working on the assumption that everything will work out... Went rummaging through some of my music archives a little while ago and flipped my recent listening to some of my favourites.. I am now contemplating re-working my current running play list to some of my fav rock songs...  who knows maybe the change in music will help me along my way... So I may craft a play list consisting of some White Stripes , Goo Goo Dolls , Aerosmith , Daughtry , Def Leppard and of course lets not forget some Suzi Q . Actually came across a Daughtry song that I love is called Losing my mind.... It always amazes me what inspires artists to write their songs - for example Lyrics like... 'My head keeps spinnin', You got me trippin' There's something about the way you move every little single thing you do is like One part angel and one part danger But, oh, the kind of crazy I like You got me losing...

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...

Well the weekend has almost come to an end. It has been a busy one. At the moment I am sitting at a children's birthday party and I know I'm going to have a massive headache when it's over. The boys are on top form at this party today. I have never heard so many high pitched squeals. Haven't quite finished my book. It has been tricky finding the time to read it. I was about to invest in a Kindle but it seems my car has other ideas :( On the plus side I am looking forward to the start of a new work week ;) have a lot to do. Have some things I need to find out, and I can't wait.. I am planning on going to a body pump class at the local gym tomorrow evening. Need to get rid of the rest of this fat that still seems intent on sticking around. I am even more determined now than before to lose another half stone. I must make sure I'm in my best shape ;) Till next time all xx

Well it's not a good idea trying to function on such little sleep. I have given in to my fast food craving and I am about to eat pizza... I know, what am I thinking? I'm going to have to put in a couple of extra km's this weekend to make sure I burn off all these extra calories. One good point though my new running shoes have arrived so I have enough time to break them in before the race. I am going to try and finish my book this weekend. I am eager to see what's in store, will it be as exciting as I think it will be??? I will be sure to let you know. Ciao all xxx

Yesterday was a long, challenging and exciting day. Long  because it started so early and ended so late, lots of running around making sure everything was in place for an event that night... Challenging because even with all my best attempts some things are always out of my control and something always seems to go wrong when you don't want it to.  But no matter what is thrown my way I grab it with both hands and always rise to the challenge. Exciting .. on so many levels... Got home so very late last night crawled into bed and struggled to fall asleep... and then I woke up so very early this morning - 5.00am to be exact - still so tired but just couldn't get back to sleep.... So I laid awake thinking and thinking and thinking....  The song Mind Demons by Suzi Q ended up being the background music to my thoughts.  Eventually I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for work.. got into the office early but not before I stopped off for a wake me up strong c...

It has been some time since my last post... life has been frantic, and to be honest I haven't been able to tear myself away from my new series of books ... WOW!! that's all I can say.. I have no words to describe it other than WOW!! I've been thinking about what it is that makes these male characters in "these" books seem so irresistible... and if you dig a little deeper, beyond the descriptive picture the author paints for you... I think it's their authority and power more than anything else.. The fact that they are in control and although you know deep down you should say no... you just can't - curiosity and all that... Never experienced any of this myself though, so I wonder how I would react?? Moving on, training has been going well and I have 5 weeks before my race, sponsorship is coming in and I hope to reach my target this year...  if you want to sponsor me for a very worthy cause visit my JustGiving page http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/...
