Queen of Marathons

How an overweight couch potato is going to haul her body around 26.2 miles of the Blackpool coastline in a mere 15 weeks time.

Stiff, tired and sore - Hooray for the weekend

I am so glad tomorrow is Saturday.

I was up fairly early this morning as I had a 150 mile drive out to the customer site I was visiting today. I drove all the way there without stopping as there were a few traffic hold ups on the way. When I got out of the car at the site I could hardly move! My legs had seized while driving for so long (Oh how I long for cruise control!). Once I moved around for a few minutes I felt much better but the same thing happened on the way home.

I decided to try to re-do the 7 mile run I had meant to do last night as tonight called for 5 miles which is the approximate distance covered collectively last night.

I told the other half I needed a partner so he got the bike out and we decided to take a loop nearby 4 times over to make 7 miles. Unfortunately the intensity caught up with me again and after 2 laps I was tired, sore and starting to limp. The other half called it off and I hobbled homewards after managing about 3.5 miles.

Tomorrow we start the transformation of our front garden - the other half's cousin is coming down to lay a new footpath and help clear the hedge. I'm actually very excited about it - the other half thinks I'm mad or sad.
