Christmas 2011

Had a lovely day spent with my husband and two girls.
Am now reading my Christmas present from Colin called "The Looniness of the Long Distance Runner".
Am currently reading about the history of the marathon.

Fact 1
Did you know that the marathon was originally only meant to be 25 miles? But thanks to Queen Akexandra who wanted the race to start on her lawn at Windsor Castle and then finish under the royal box, an extra 1.2 miles was added.
The tradition is now apparently when you cross the 25 mile point you shout "God Save The Queen".

Well off to work soon to earn some double bubble to pay for new running shoes. Happy Christmas everyone!! xx

Blog all set up now and linked to fundraising page so I'm a happy girl! Apparently I can also email a blog do this is me trying to do that!!
Did a good weights and core session yesterday with Ryan and did some lopsided weight lifting tho I'm sure it has a more technical name!
Countdown now to my 40th party!! Can't wait. Just sat in my favourite cafe and off to get my hair cut.
Spinning tonight if my hamstrings hold out!!

hi,

am new to this blogging malarky and at just turned 40 maybe a bit too old for it but here goes!!

For those who know me probably also know that I have entered my first marathon!! London 2012 yeah baby!!!!!!

Thought i was up for a challenge though judging on how badly my legs ache after the Stroud half marathon maybe not, we'll see!!

Thought i would blog rather than bore everyone and maybe lose friends because of it!!!

will try and keep this updated and maybe use it to record my training etc
