Thankfully over my hangover from hell, which was a good job as it's RACE 4 LIFE day, wooooop!!  Got up nice and early to prepare myself for the race, all dressed in pink and a hearty cereal and banana breakfast - I was ready to kick some ass!!!! 

Lovely atmosphere at the event with lots of happy people raising lots of much needed money and pink for as far as the eye could see.  So after getting into my 'joggers' category, we set off - lots of people watching and clapping.......but less than 2 mins in and I was ready to kill someone!!!!  The 'joggers' group and people are pushing wheelchairs and walking and generally getting totally under my feet - aaaaaarrrgh, took me forever to get going!!  I know it's for charity and a fun day out and all that, but i'm trying to be good at running aswell!!!!  Anyhoo, I ended up with a better time than last year, so i've improved but was disappointed in my time, I was really hoping for an under 30 mins :-(

My foot was still a little sore from my Monday run, but knowing I could loose sponsors I ran it anyway......possible school boy error though, it was killing after i'd finished - dam my easily breakable body!!!

Diet wise hmmmm not so good, yet again, but not too far from the beaten track - really need to get better organised with my food i'm getting far too easily swayed with deliciously bad for me alternatives!!

Oooooh and tonight we've signed up to do the Cancer Research Shine event in London.  I'd never heard of it before, but it's an all night walk around London and we chose to do a marathon distance (instead of the aternative half marathon).  I'm very excited about this event, it should be a really lovely way to see London and of course an extra excuse to dress up :-) although I'm under no illusion whatsoever that the actually walk will be a real challenge, I think walking a marathon is no mean feet, but with the added extra of being pretty cold and then take away a night's sleep aswell.  I think it'll be really tough, but really rewarding at the same time.

So now not only do I need to be fit enough to run a half marathon and raise £400 in the meantime, I then have 2 weeks to be ready to walk a night marathon and raise whatever money anyone has left to give......will have to get my awesome fundraising ideas hat on :-)
