Race for Life Training Day 2

So today was my second day of training at the gym, and although it was quite hard work I felt an adrenaline rush everytime some good music came on. A bit of Bon Jovi and Colours of the Wind if you can believe it. Didnt feel quite as wobbly today, although I lost my water bottle under the treadmill, and didnt want to look stupid so didnt attempt to try and retrieve it. What a plank I am.

I am so determined to do this, it helps having a set date, as it gaves me a date to accomplish it by. Helps get me fitter too which is always an added bonus. After my first training session I could definitely feel it in my belly and my legs, and I shall probably be feeling it tomorrow. Shows my muscles are working I guess (which have not been used for a while ><) Even hurts to laugh :D. Hey Ho. One step at a time.

I think I might treat myself after have done some work and snuggle down and watch To Kill A Mockingbird. Ahh Bliss ^_^

Thanks to whoever is reading.

Race for Life Training day 1


I put this in my other blog but I am not sure if many people know its there so thought would put it here as well. So I signed up for the race for life as you know , and today I officially started training for it. I went to the gym, and am taking it slow to begin with as have decided to run it. Bought this useful book a while ago called Running for Beginners, just as well, it is proving very useful.

Gives you good tips not to mention motivational quotes from Martin Luther King something along the lines of taking one step at a time before climbing the entire staircase rings bells.

The music definitely helped, listening to Lady GaGa makes a workout so much more fun :D. Will have a rest tomorrow and then start up again on Wednesday. I felt a bit like Bridget Jones you know where shes decided to get fit and healthy and quit smoking and theres a picture of her on the cycle and she cycles so hard that when she came off, she fell off. I felt a bit like that except I didnt fall off, just felt a bit dizzy haha.

There was a guy who was running next to me was slightly intimidating, as he was running so fast, and all I could think was I wish I could run as fast and as good as that. Nevermind maybe someday hey?

Anyway Day 1, the programme lasts ten weeks as am not starting the race till 12th June. Will keep you updated who ever reads or is interested.

Race For Life

So I signed up for the Race for life which I am quite excited about :) even though it is 5km, I had better get into gear and start training. Have decided as well that I am going to run it, me RUNNING, haha now that may look interesting, but its all for a good cause. It will be on the 12th June, anyway I have been thinking about what I should wear, apparently that is half the fun, finding something funny to wear, people have worn pink bunny ears and things like that, so I shall have to come up with something. Make it more fun! :)

Sleepless in Seattle

So I watched this film yesterday and I liked it ^_^, slightly biased I suppose as I do rather like Tom Hanks, especially in films like Forrest Gump and You've Got Mail :). It is such a charming film, full of mystery, because you always wonder whether they are going to meet even though deep down you know that they will. The kid was also very sweet, you see how much the father cares about his son Jonas, because he is the only thing he has left, the only reason for his existance.

Perhaps these sort of films also help you to believe that amazing things can happen! That if you do believe in those sort of things that everything happens for a reason, fate, destiny.

We all deserve a little love and happiness, believe in something more. Anything is possible.
