About me.

Lets get things into perspective.

I don't run. In fact, sometimes I struggle to walk. I have arthritis in my knees and back and I am overweight. By quite a lot.

So why have I decided to run a 10K event?

Well, in the space of a month, my friend's partner and then another close friend have found out that they have cancer. Both dont deserve to have to face this.

This is my way of showing support and hopefully to raise money for Cancer Research. Hopefully by documenting my journey, I can stay focused and encourage people to stay interested enough to sponsor me on this epic adventure.

DAY 4 - 25 MAY 2013

                                                    Today I am mainly .....








"What? THICK AS A PLANK?" gafaws Mr Stringbob, tittering at his own joke.

"NO, STIFF AS A BOARD".......(sigh).

ANYWAYS....

despite being stiff as a board, there is no such a thing as a day off in the life of Mrs Fat BlobbyBlob's training schedule. Julie has text to say she is out of hospital today, and will be home, so I have decided to walk the 5 miles to her home to see her.

It was a nice pleasant walk, with Mr Dickhead, Rosie (10) and Roxy and Buster (the dawgs). Despite the traffic skitting Roxy, we made quite a good pace.

4 miles in....Dean..." I cant believe Roxy has walked 4 miles and not had a pee!!"

                  Rosie..." I can't believe Mum hasn't either !!!!"

Oh how they mock me...

Andrew and Julie
(Well actually, I'm secretly surprised I haven't either.)

We spent a nice couple of hours entertaining Julie by taking the piss out of Andrew (a mandatory requirement) and we set off the walk home. The long way round. An extra mile. A very long mile.

Now. For my next problem.

As you may know, and it's not rocket science, fat girls have fat thighs. And fat thighs have a very nasty habit of rubbing together.

As my dear friend Helen said, when I asked her if she was going to join us.
"Alas my girls are adverse to being bounced around and I fear for global warming with my thighs rubbing together!!" 

I love Helen. I want her to be my ghost writer :)

Now, as I've been a fat girl for some time now I'm quite prepared for the thigh chaffing issue and I have taken measures in the past to prevent this, such as using this...

....although as I was wearing my super light skinny (ish) jeans and I was (for crying out loud) WALKING. I didnt think of using said gel.

BIG MISTAKE.

 Although I didn't have the issue of thigh rubbing, due to the forward thinking of wearing super light skinny(ish) jeans, there was a bit of a nasty issue of KNICKER ELASTIC CHAFFING. Needless to say I managed to stagger the last (very long - havent I said that before?) mile like John Wayne.

So with every problem, comes a solution, so I ( rather painfully) sat down to Google 'anti chaffing solutions' and I found this....

PERFICK!!!


I wonder if it comes with a built in camel toe :)
