Saturday night's alright alright......

I've got guests coming to stay at Maison le Santa. Siouxsie & Jules, or Susan & Julian to give them thier Sunday names. (i might refer to people from fetch by thier fetch name, just to confusethings!

Stephen is kindly giving up his bed for Jules, and Susan will slleep in the study, othwerwise known as Susan's room

Tonight is our fetch Christmas Night out, we're heading out for an Indian then a bit of a pub crawl, hopefully culminating in a dance off lol Party dress is ready as are the killer heels, i'll get pics up tomorrow. Stil unsure as to whether to run today, i'll go with flow for now and wake up properly first methinks.

Well, all the presents i've got so far are wrapped and under tree, i've still to get few more bitsn bobs though. Stephen (my son) was also out Christmas shopping yesterday and he got mine. He said "this is probably most i've ever spent on you"

I said to him that it wasnt about money and he should be careful with it he said "But you're worth it"

Bless him.

Multi Tasking

Today i decided to get some christmas shopping done, so after reserving stuff at Argos, i jumped back into my running gear and ran to the shops, then to some other shops. The argos thing was too bulky to run with so i came home after that.

Started wrapping them and 2 under tree so far wooop!

Will get rest which have arrived in bits n bobs over past week r so (thanks to Amazon and Playc.om!) wrapped and under tree by end of night, if i can get rid of crick in neck that is. ouch.

Thank Crunchie it's Friday


Braved the cold and ran in a tshirt this morning, it is much warmer than it has been at beginning of week but still nippy. Had full length tights on but only because my knee length ones are all in the wash! Took shorter route this morning as i was faffing around to much and didn't leave house til 5.20, so only did 5 miles. I've ran everyday this week though so it's no big deal. No forthcoming races to worry about either so it's do as i please at mo.


Cant wait to get inot Fling training properly though and actually get ont West Highland Way again. For those unfamiliar with the Fling here's a link>


Never in million years did i think i'd enjoy running on trails and hills and crazy terrain like that, i have George & Karen to thank for it though and that's a whole other blog!


Rather than try and put all my old blogs on here i'm gonig to go over highlights of my running life, maybe even a few lowlights too, i've been running since June2005 but was out injured for a good 8 months at one point.


Another busy day at work beckons, going Christmas shopping after work then tomorrow its Christmas party time! woooop!

Fetcheveryone







I'll be talking about it a lot so i'd bestgive rundown on what it's all about






you can find it on http://www.fetcheveryone.com/




it's the best website ever, yes it's a running website but it's so much more than that, it's fantastic for logging runs and seeing your progress, watching the mileage climb, seeing what predictions it gives, etc etc It's not all about running either, you can log any sport you wish, hulahoooping is one on the list lol



There are forums which are fab, and beginner friendly. You'll get a ton of advice from everyone, you can add pictures, make your own blog, talk to likeminded people, check out races in directory and you will meet a ton of very very nice people.




I've made some really wonderful friends through fetch. I do remember doing Loch ness marathon in 2006 and being pretty much a lone fetchie, nowadays you're never alone in race, especially when wearing a fetch shirt.






Where did it all start?

And where did it all start to go wrong? I'll maybe get round to backposting all my blogs or maybe just put a link here to it.


These past few weeks i've been up and down like a yo yo, at the mo i feel like i'm ready to burst into tears at any mo, irrational. Maybe i *am* irrational? I certainly feel like i cant say wht i feel anymore, not on fetch anyway. But maybe it's just paranoia that i look into people's comments and take it at face value. Maybe i'm the one in the wrong? I dunno anymore.

I've been told many times in the past that when smething upsets i should just forget it, it's only the internet etc, but to me it's not just that. I've met all these people and call quite a few of them very good friends, well i thought i did, it looks increasingly likely that i'm frozen out now.

So here i am, floating around in cyberspace on my own, i've no idea even how to find my blog never mind read anyone elses lol, i'll have to play around and try and find out how it all works i guess.

I wonder if anyone will read this? I guess it doesnt matter, its for me to spill the head and be able to look back on see what i was doing a year/10years from now.

My first blog

I'll need to find my feet here and find my way around,eeep! Feel a bit lost! I only started blogging a few yrs ago i'd never have ventured near no doubt had it not been for fetch (www.fetcheveryone.com) and i've been happily boring people to death on there. But fed up with some people who think they are the blog police and say what we should and shouldn't do/say etc so here i am.

Welcome to my blog.

One Year + on...

Oh Dear, more than a year since my last blog when i promised myself i would blog more. After SDW race i was more than a bit broken. Luckil...
