Thanks Bev.

Yesterday was mine and stevies 8year anniversary so we went for a few drinks on the barbican and ended up sharing chips, curry sauce & a small battered sausage. Was lovely

In the morning though I went for a run over saltram again and again ran the whole hill without stopping. Then went to body pump. Had my prefered instructor back which was good. He told me he sees me all the time running on the embankment now - I thought to myself I hope he sees me running and not having a cheeky little walking break! :giggle:

Congrats on your anniversary Tanya. Bet you'll smash your PBs too, no doubts. My 10 year wedding anniversary on friday too. Don't know where that time's gone!!

Tanya just wanted to tell you that I had a dream about you last night lol - you were teaching me how to run and you took me to get running shoes/trainers fitted on a beach! Very strange it must be in my subconscious after reading about all your exercising that I need to get to the gym lol x

awww hope you have a lovely time on friday - do you have anything planned? x

Tanya just wanted to tell you that I had a dream about you last night lol - you were teaching me how to run and you took me to get running shoes/trainers fitted on a beach! Very strange it must be in my subconscious after reading about all your exercising that I need to get to the gym lol x

LOL!!!! Very strange. Though very me - everyone who asks me now about running I tell them to go get trainers properly fitted & gait analysis done. My friend who came with me on sunday was telling me her toenails are black (sorry if tmi) and I told her I had the exact same and she needs bigger trainers. Are you getting back to the gym soon? I really dont know how you manage the gym - i hate it lol

Today I had such a rubbish sleep. My grandma phoned me at 10am and dad was banging around in the bathroom taking all the tiles off so it was a very broken 5.5hours needless to say I woke up not wanting to even think about getting out for a run but I did.

I set out with the mind frame of wanting a new 1mile PB and I got it.
Previous was 09:55 todays 1mile was 09:32 Super happy.
I'm also super gutted! I forgot to press the lap button on my garmin at the 3mile mark That would have been a PB also!!! balls, balls, balls!! (my 3mile PB is 32:07 and todays run was 3.13miles in 32:51 ... no doubt there was a PB there! )

Cut the run short though. Today was supposed to be a 4.5miler but ended up being just 3.13.
Missing pump too tonight as I have a shift as its bank holiday and all hands needed on deck
