In fitness news

I have pulled out of the London Marathon, due to injury and illness. I have raised £1000 for DEMAND though, and I am aiming to carry on with my training so that I have a greater chance of running it under 6 hours next year!

Now I just have to concentrate on getting fit enough to get back to my 5 days a week in the gym and many days of martial arts. At the moment I am barely fit enough to train for an hour before I teach. I spent the whole weekend in bed, so that might help me shake off the last of this evil bug.

Catch Up

Urgh! I've been SICK!

And then I had a debut Craft Fair in Goathland Village Hall. My stall was beautiful, however the customers were few and far between. I am going back at the May Bank holiday because there may be more people (there couldn't be many less!).

Here are the pics!





Perhaps this is why there weren't many customers...

Some Little Ramblings

Yes well the funk is still funky. But wotcha gonna do? Anyway, it's nothing that I want to blog about so there :-P

We spent the weekend in Ireland - and ate tons!

First, may I recommend Eddie's Rockets where I giggled so much to be eating chicken burger and deep fried onion rings, fries and deep fried breaded garlic mushrooms and drinking an OREO MILKSHAKE and just not giving a flying frock about the calories! It was liberating! However I couldn't eat much for the next 3 days! If you are about in London, there is a chain remarkably similar to Eddie's Rockets, called Ed's Diner - there's one on the Kings Road and one somewhere in the West End near Leicester Square.

We also had dinner at the Temple Bar Hotel where I had the most AMAZING pork loin. It was to die for - I have never tasted anything so good in my life! Even the chocolate cake afterwards wasn't as good. SERIOUSLY!

Apologies

to everyone who may have missed me.

I have been in a funk but the way is almost clear now.

Today I drew this



and I'm exceptionally proud!

Bye Bye Barry

Bye bye.



He's been sold on etsy!

Byeeeeeeeeeee!

In other news - I have a ruptured hamstring. Ruptured I tell you. No running for me. Boobs.

Rawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwr!

Look who I found snuggled in my bed. A sleepy Parsley Lion. *yawn*

Parsley is chanelling my mood for the week - I wiped myself out on Sunday running the Nickey Line from Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden. I was going to go to martial arts last night, but I thought that since I have two classes today and was planning on going to the gym that I probably wouldn't make it through the day today if I rode all the way to Staines for martial arts!

This morning I have been to the gym, upper body work only since my tendonitis is back, but this time in the other knee. I am booked in with the physio tomorrow evening, and hopefully there's time to be fixed before the London Marathon.

Tonight I have MMA, which will be fun, we are doing bits and pieces of groundwork. Then on Saturday I have been abandoned, so will make full use of the day and have another martial arts lesson. Then on Sunday we are having a Sunday Smackdown with another club, I shall be all martialled out!

Birthday

I forgot to update on my birthday, which was a week and a half ago!

So here are some pictures...







As you can see, there was plenty of cake!
