The Race for Life

Last Sunday Emma, my Mother in Law, Debra and I ran the 5km Race for Life to support Cancer Research UK!

Here we are after we did it- super gross and sweaty!

So far we've raised around £190 pounds in sponsorship!  Isn't that amazing?  But, if you want to contribute and make that even more, please click on the button below and donate now.  This is life saving research, and, for me, it's personal. 

I've lost two grandparents to cancer, and I have a brave aunt who is a survivor.  One of my greatest fears is that one day I'll get that life changing news, so I want to be ready to fight if it ever happens to me.  And the research we're helping to fund is all part of that.

Donate below, or, as we all said we're up for running again next year- join us! Every little does count.

Awkward Gym Moments

*Pic

Except when your in the gym, going about your business on the rowing machine, working hard and feeling good, then you hear a banging noise that coincides with your movements. 

You look up and notice your jumper is now behind you, not next to the machine, where you could have sworn you put it. 

Then you spot it.  You've moved. 

The effort you've put into rowing has shuffled the rower forward and you are now a good four foot from where you started. 

And the noise?  That you banging up against the wall. Yep.  Everyone is looking at you as you move it back to where you started and walk out.  Yep.  Awkward. 

Done anything particularly embarrassing today?

Gym Day!

Been to the gym today- I LOVE the gym! 

I've had a free pass to visit husband's gym for the last two weeks and been making the most of having access to the treadmill. 

I'm not a Runner, I'm a runner (see the difference?).  I just love to move, and today I ran a personal best.  About 3km, solidly for total of 25min!  

Makes me happy.

Friends, Sun and a nice walk

Here is Chris, Emma, Hubby and me, on a walk around Calke Abbey's grounds.  We were blessed with such wonderful weather, it was truly a beautiful day.  We walked for about a hour and a half, ate a delish lunch from the National Trust cafe, and pondered on whether or not we are old enough to be considering joining the National Trust, or is it something only people with children and the retired do.

 I had so much fun!  It was great to catch up with Emma and Chris, and I really do love going for walks, and relished the rare opertunity.

It was so much fun, I've always loved dancing and I did feel like I was getting a good work out!

I had to take it kinda easy, as I haven't done any kind of exercise in aaagggeeeeess! Unless you count walking round shops- which does burn the calories, but isnt really hard core:-)

Totally going again next week, it was brill!!
