Why hello there….
It's been awhile i'm aware, intact its been over two months!
It's been a busy two months though but i'm going to try to get back into blogging!
Since I last blogged I've completed my first half marathon! I ran it on April 6th with a friend from works brother. He really helped keep my spirits up between miles 3-6 where I seemed to hit a wall - stitch, dead legs & a general lack of motivation. Once I hit mile 6 I got back into the swing of things, had an energy gel & really felt good about things! The last 3 miles were running into a headwind & at mile 12 I decided to leave my friend (sorry!) and try pick up the pace! I finished it in 02hrs 00mins 41secs. I'm a little bitter about the 41secs as I really wanted a sub 2hr time but for my first half its a good effort! My running hasn't been all that regular recently, although i've been getting out a couple of times a week. I'm running a 10mile event next weekend though!
In mid April we went to London for Andy's birthday. We had a fantastic time, we went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the theatre. Had a fantastic meal and cocktails at Christophers. Had some amazing post theatre cocktails at The American Bar in the Savoy. We went to the Shard for breakfast for Andy's birthday & HE ONLY WENT AND POPPED THE QUESTION!!!!! Obviously I said YES!! We also went to The Savoy for afternoon tea :-)
Since getting home everything has been abit of a whirlwind! Choosing an engagement ring, lots of celebrating and now we're starting to look at where we are planning on getting married.
I've also just joined slimming world! I can & I will lose weight for this wedding!
Much Love
& I promise to blog again soon!
