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

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...

Whirlwind week!!

What a week I had last week, when everyone around me seems to be relaxing as its Easter Holidays and Schools are closed, I was more manic than ever...  Why?? Jarred and Tamzin both do dancing at a local Theatre School, and every year the School put on two shows in one day - Sunday - its a Massive production at the Derngate Theatre.  So not only was I still at work during the day but I was also running them to final show rehearsals, altering costumes as well as still running them round to their various other activities that they do after school, I was still getting my Zumba and running in... So by Friday I was absolutely exhausted - I booked the day off work then as both had all day final dress rehearsal for the Show. I decided to spend my Friday, once I had dropped them off, getting some groceries in, then spring cleaning the house and baking (the in-laws were coming down for the show and were staying for the weekend) - I'm pretty certain that...

Lets Zumba

Well last night I went to my first Zumba class.  It was intense, high energy, but so much fun..   It’s an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party...   Yes, Latin inspired which means lots of sexy hip gyrating movements.  As a newbie I didn't know what to expect - I am the type of person who falls off the step in an aerobic step class.  After the hour long session - which I managed to keep up with.  I wasn't surprised that the mirrors in the studio were completely steamed up.  You know you must have had a good workout when you leave the room drenched and your clothing is clinging to your body...  I worked my bottom off  "literally" and thanks to the energetic instructor - she had us all shouting / grunting and laughing our way through the session, it didn't feel like the workout it was, rather a dance party of sorts i guess you could say. So how do I feel this mornin...
