Not Good.... Gets better ...

WAH feel bad ...... due to circumstances out of my control .... (ie. hubby working and me not getting much sleep) I have not been able to do any training for almost a week and its not set to get better, hubby is working tonight so no swimming.

Still on a more positive note its small man's 4th birthday tomorrow ..... I have no idea where that time has gone.  He is so excited, not sure what we are going to do as yet.  I have a cake to make ready for his party on Saturday, unfortunately my scales have gone wrong so I am a bit stuck at the mo, I may have to go and get some in a bit.

Feel really good, managed to swim 12 lengths of the pool (25 meters per length. That's 6 more lengths than I normally achieve.

Sleep ...

...or should I say lack of it.  I never realised how much hard work having an elderly dog would be.  I am even more convinced that Jasper has dementia setting in.  He wakes up several times a night, asks to go out to the toilet, I let him out and he stands and stares into space for what appears to be hours but of course its probably only a minute or two, he then wee's..... comes through the back door stares and then poo's much to my annoyance.  I do try to be patient with him as I know its not his fault but clearing up after him at 2, 4, 5 a.m. is not my idea of fun.  I cannot remember the last time I slept right through the night.  Its a good job I love the old boy dearly.

Well after much searching I finally found a pair of cheap three quarter length leggings..... I really didn't want to spend too much this early on into my running 'career'.  Maybe if I really do continue with this venture I will invest in some more expensive running gear.  Now all I need to do is wait for someone to come home now to watch small man so I can go out for my second run of this week.

Inspiring Olympics

Well I am not really sure how this blog will go, to date I have not been great at keeping up with these blog's, although I do read others and think how fabulous it is that they record their lives.  I am hoping that by starting a fresh it will inspire me..... we shall see.

I am about to go hit the town now to purchase some running pants as I am determined to get fit.  The Olympics have been very inspiring and it has encouraged me to get off my backside and actually do what I have been meaning to do the past 4 years..... GET FIT !
