2013 Challenge Update
Week 18 - 9.22 miles

So the challenge to walk/run/bike/swim 500 miles in 2013 is going well and just under 4 more miles until I hit the halfway mark. Am determined to obliterate the target!!
Damn I ACHE!! Roll on 5pm. Only 9 hours to go and counting…..
Sunday Night
Body for another purse finished (just awaiting an eBay clasp delivery) and finally picked my needles again to finish off sock number two.
A bit of knitting chill time after a busy busy day!!
The flowers are curtesy of having such an awesome husband. While he’s been working hard on operation prep the kitchen for the big delivery, I have been walking like crazy!
This weekend was the 2013 Wirral Coastal Walk which is a trek along the Wirral coastline. A friend and I decided to do it for the Alzheimer’s Society and to give it an extra zing for sponsorship did it in a onesie. A fleece onesie. And in my case a dinosaur fleece onesie.
The weather was clear and the first 9 miles flew by and up until mile 13 we were on a roll. The last few we’re TOUGH though and by that time we were so hot that we pretty much trudged to the end. We did it though and £150 raised doing it so it can be bad. Also I now have renewed respect for half marathoners - my little feet were aching after a 15 walk let along running almost that distance so to all you distance runners out there: I salute you!!
15 miles here we go!! #charity #dinosaur #onesie
Just saw this and it broke my heart— signal boost for this lady! I’ve seen this kinda stuff get spread majorly so I thought this might be able to help this lady. If you find her phone here’s the link to the craigslist ad!
I almost cried reading this.
Signal boost for something that had me crying.
Today
So today was a failure at my attempt of a healthy body:
- My morning run was missed in favour of an extra hour in bed. After such a crap nights sleep tired just didn’t cover it.
- My lunchtime walk was missed in favour of catching up on some work. I was on a roll, nuff said.
- My healthy diet today was missed in favour of a scummy sausage casserole followed by delicious homemade chocolate cake washed down with a lovely glass of Asti. Yeah, nothing I can say about that other than nom!!
However today was a success at my attempt at a healthy mind:
- I woke up more refreshed than I could have all things considered.
- I had an awesome day at work where I feel I achieved a lot and enjoyed myself doing it. I love my job and days like today make me appreciate how lucky I am.
- I had an amazing homemade meal with 3 of my best friends where we talked and laughed and took time out to spend time with each other.
So yes, today was both a failure and a success.
It goes to show that its all about perspective and how you choose to look at it.
