Oops....
I've neglected the blog a bit, haven't I?
Apologies, but I've not had anything inpriring to say!!
The training is getting harder, not easier and rather than losing 5 stone, I've managed to put on a few pounds...I fear its going to take longer than I imagined.
So, rather than listen to me moan, Ang is going to update us on her progress ....
Ok so it's been a while since I last weebled along. I think it's probably fair to say that for a number of reasons I haven't been quite as dedicated to my training as I should, luckily I have a Beth to call me out on this. I suppose it's just as well I've done some running in the past, although even I was shocked when I looked back at my diaries and discovered it was pre-Milan which was 2010!! (I don't do dear diary stuff, I just have a gig diary, Milan was Muse)
So, time to get back into the running trainers, hoick up the leggings (I've ordered some new proper running ones, extra support for my feeble weebly pegs) and dug out my old runners world stuff. More importantly, time to take stock of me, myself and I. Unlike some (Rhydd) I can't run properly on a diet of curries and BBQ's so farewell to the rubbish I eat (including alcohol) and hello to good quality, home cooked food - did I mention I bought a smoothie maker too!
It's actually going better than I though and I'm pushing on, although turns out I need the human equivalent of WD40 daily to keep my joints from creaking like the Titanic these days. I'm confident I will complete the 10k, and I'm confident it won't be hot on the heels of Rhydd and Marc, but I will do it, I mean come on, a 10k will cause a little pain, but fighting cancer, that is way harder. I'm still training on the treadmill, my lack of dedication naturally led to my weight going up not down, but, I am pleased to say after a new weigh in I'm actually 10lb less than I expected, so a few more treadmill sessions to shave a stone off and I should be balanced enough to hit the roads again - feet first hopefully ;)

Back to me :
Anyway, my lovely friends, even though we've been quiet, rest assure we are working our wobbly butts off to complete this run.

Please dont forget that despite the laughter, the tears, the pain and the mocking, the reason we are doing this is to raise money for Cancer Research, and to support our friends who are fighting this horrible disease.
I'll be quiet again for a couple of weeks, but if you need reminding of the journey we have made so far, please re-read some of the earlier posts and have a right LAUGH AT OUR EXPENSE,
