Very Small Feet

This year due to this big bump I was not as active as I would like to be... No waking up early shouting "RACE DAY" and clearing more space for medals... My body finds is a bit tricky to adjust to the whole baby thing. I'm literally just bump on legs. It is really good, that I do not feel like a giant, well that is if I don't look at my feet:) and I will have less to lose after he is here (Can't wait!! So excited!!)  My work fundraisers this year for Birmingham Children's Hospital ... We did few fun things, like bike ride GM (who actually cycled from Slough to Bham) vs Staff on stationary bike in the lobby. Sure guests saw some sights that day. They also want some of staff to get together and do the half marathon, Bupa Great Birmingham run... You remember I did it last year ?  So stupid thing I did before I left on my maternity earlier this week.... I have emailed out GM to say "Pencil me in for the Half... provided everything goes...

So it was a very implosive race entry... I walked pass the ad for Bupa Great Birmingham run way too many times and though "Oh why da hell not!"... But when I got the number through the post and all the bits and bobs I thought "Oh what have I done! Silly silly Daria" But actually it was not that bad after all. I did talk to the organizers, elite athletes and other crazy people who are running for fun. That's actually a perk working in hospitality industry... We all were very concerned about the weather... When I got up at 6am to have breakkie it was peeing it down. I though that I needed a wet suit to run in. But the sky cleared and the sun was shining... we were actually boiling. Well I was... also that dude who run in the Iron Man outfit. Yes, full on Iron Man... yes, that dude in red and yellow... The organisation was amazing, lots and lots of support, signs, water stations, even a shower, power station (jelly babies and vaseline) and a l...

I have singed up for Half Marathon.... Today I have run for the 1st time in ages. I did not actually run since we moved away from Bath. But I'll come back to that.  I have booked my self for not two but three classes this morning in the gym. And boy did I work hard, I'm actually worried about waking up tomorrow and be in a lot of pain. We did circuit leg bums and tums, fast circuit when the boys came in and were showing off by lifting massive weights in compassing what girls were struggling with 10K.. and then we stayed for a abs class. Mad.  But to top it all off I have decided to run home from the gym... My kit was a bit unsuitable for that so the straps of my backpack were really rubbing and I was tired. But I almost run all the way home. It is over 3K. Good start I think.  I am fundraising for Cancer Research.. So please dig deep !  And if I did everything right u can just donate by text... VSFR85 (stands for very small feet runs) ...

So I was going to work and I saw the poster for Bupa Half Marathon... 20th October... I thought to my self, it is only two 10K and a bit... So I went about my day thinking that I can actually do this. Told few people about this they told me I was crazy for even putting trainers on. Well I'm sorry I don't like the flabby butt and I like to be able to walk up the tube escalator with out needing a gas mask... Then I told husband about this... he just said "Well then do it".... I thought mother would not approve.  And then I told my friend back home about this... ...  we kind of talk a lot about sport and things like that... he really works I just just around. Look at that:)  So this sexy beast tells me "Running is awesome, think you should totally do it".  As you know the races can be expensive at times, like the Survival for a single entry is £50, so I am running it after paying that much. So there was a chance that I wouldn't get paid...
