keep on running

As the date approach for my 10K run, I started to go to the gym every day in an attempt to calm my nerves and get more training. Today and for the first time, I ran 7K and I am so pleased with that. 5K was my barrier and it was more of a mental barrier than anything else. I do not feel any pain at the moment (who knows about later on). The funny thing is that, as I run I can see how many calories I have burned and at a point when I feel like death, I look at the machine and see that I have burned 70 calories and I am filled with despair as I am sure only looking at a bar of chocolate will make me gain 70 calories!
my aim now is to run faster and get to 10K in one piece before my actual race.

thank you for the music

The weekend was lovely and I really enjoyed listening to a performance by our local brass band. The theam was movie and theater music and it was so nice and a great evening. so thanks for the music that lift up our moods and this is for fun... not a real image from the band :)

How would you like your shoe-laces today sir?

Having choices seems to be the name of the day...choices in every and anything we have, buy and do. But, how many choices do we really need to do up shoes laces? MANY is the answer and here are some ideas....enjoy and good luck trying them out. (thanks to my brother for sending me this).

As last summer was cancelled, the minute I saw the weather forecast for the weekend, I decided that being on the beach was the sensible thing to do. It was PERFECT. We had such an amazing time, lovely sun shine, sea air and the most important ingredient: fish and chips. Let us hope this lovely weather lasts.
