Wowzer!

I was aiming for sub 33 (get me sounding all athlete!) at my first Park Run and I was a little miffed at 33 mins 14 secs. However I have since had a little word with myself. A month ago I would not have even gone. When I arrived I was petrified but everyone was so smiley and friendly. I ran the whole way round the lovely 5K course listening to my running partner of the day rabbiting on as if she had the lung capacity of a blue bloody whale!! She was lovely to stay with me as her springy step hinted that she had much more in the tank! I kind of loved it - when I had finished!

Like I keep saying - I am a runner now and although I keep saying there is no membership card I do now have a barcode for ParkRun! 

Anyway, I am now very pleased with myself because I looked back to the beginning of January when I started my challenge and just look at the difference!! I am so much faster. I AM A RUNNER. Also for the record I am a STONE lighter!! Completely fandabbydosy! Big whopper #crushagrape day!

My Smile Today is Brought to You By - Fabulous Feb

So January is already in the bag and now on with February. Still running, just not every day and now I look forward to my runs and actually sometimes miss not running on the rest days?! Looking forward to the Spring when we can all start galloping across the fields....

Speaking of Spring. Just brought a little Spring into my kitchen. Made this table centre piece that I thought you might like. Grabbed some Narcissus Tete a Tete (ickle daffs) from Lidl for 79p a pot - used 4 pots. Got the kids to find some little twigs in the garden. Shoved it all in a wooden bowl (note to visitors - might not want the salad next time if served in this!).

Sunshine in a bowl.

Rest of the house is a shithole but the table looks smashing!

Have a lovely day and bring some sunshine into your lives.
