Fun and Frolics

Well in a week and half I will have done my running and raised some cash. There is still time to donate at THIS LINK
The picture on the left was taken about a week ago to go with the press release Leukaemia CARE are sending out. It's all a bit grand for what it really is - lazy old me getting my ass moving.
This week I have learnt the lesson about making sure your body has enough fuel to move. On Saturday we went to Brighton with the Payne family for fish and chips and frolics on the beach with their kids. It was great fun, but after munching points laden fried food (and really enjoying it) I wasn't hungry come the evening so had a few nibbles and a piece of Kim's birthday cake.
Sunday morning was time to run, I woke up in a naff mood, feeling lethargic and grumpy - probably the bad food and glass of wine the day before. After a cup of tea James said we should run.
Well I tried but my legs were like lead, my body felt like it was made to stand still and I struggled, then the fact that I was dehydrated hit me and fuzzy things swam across my eyes. James got in a bad mood and told me it was psychological. Well maybe some of it was - the bad mood and grumpiness - but my body unlike his needs a good feed before it is asked to do anything. So there. Lesson learnt.

www.realbuzz.com has some great tips about running and fitness and nutrition and stuff. I don't think it was psychological. It's like putting diesel in an unleaded car. It's just not going to go properly.

Also, care in Leukaemia CARE is always in capitals. It's a marketing thing!!

Hannah,

Long time no see but I'm thrilled for you at the weight loss and you look fantastic in the photo (despite feeling bad!) Well done on the run.

We rugby girls never figured you needed to lose weight anyway as we always thought you were gorgeous the way you are but GO GIRL!

Take care hon!
