I'm going to ring in this new year...
… in the knowledge that I don’t need to impress anyone other than myself.

Thank you for your advice.
I have de-haired all over grown areas. I should really hop on the scale as I probably lost those last 10lbs!
I had better at least get touched up tonight cos I even put body lotion on my legs!

Race Epic!
I have been really looking forward to this as an excellent start to the last day of 2011 and I am hoping to run again tomorrow to set the new year off as I want it to continue.
Epic action 1 was to get out of bed as soon as my alarm went off and eat some tasty Greek yogurt. Who needs to snooze when it is time to be Epic? And here I am dressed and ready to go…
I had decided to go slow...

To shave or not to shave? That is the question.
My legs are spiky.
Do I shave them and risk no hottie attention at all, or do I leave them in the hope that Sod’s Law activates and someone sexy wants to touch my legs?

Race Epic Done!
BOOM!
Report on it’s way :)

A note to those coming to the London meet-up
If you are not tube savvy then can I advise you to either buy a travel card (daily or weekend) or top up an oyster card (it can be done online). It saves you so much money - a single is Zone 1 is £4!!!

myfatchance asked: I'm doing Paris and Berlin Half next year and as Andy said, Berlin Full is also good :) I tried to comment on disqus and confused myself >_>
Anonymous asked: Re: overseas race - sorry about the Dublin race btw. How about one in Australia? Since you're headed there it's a great way to throw yourself into the (runner) community and would save you money... (Shan)

Goodbye 2010
The letter below was written by me last year just after the clock ticked over into 2011. I had forgotten all about it until I looked back at my archive tonight to see if I had made any resolutions. So, let’s see if life has changed…
This time last year I was sobbing my eyes out.
My relationship had just ended 6 years to the day we got together.
I thought that I would spend the...

I need a new overseas half marathon.
I’m currently debating Stockholm.
It is the most beautiful city, but perhaps I should go somewhere new? I can’t decide!

The Rock n Roll Dublin Half Marathon.
Yes it is a bummer and no reason was given for the cancellation. I was a bit blase about it earlier as I read the email whilst chatting to my Auntie, but I’m a bit more annoyed now as it was one of my key races for 2012 and I was also going to use it as a test for me, going alone and exploring a city by myself before I go off on my travels. I need to...

I’m such a sucker for messed up situations. I’m always attracted to the lost causes..the boys with commitment issues, the boys who have a terrible family life, the boys with real problems, addiction problems, the boys who are jobless. The bad boys. The whores. The losers. The actors. The liars,…

“Wore a tight pencil skirt”
– How someone from Trinidad & Tabago found my blog!
Why do everyone else's jobs sound so much better?
Just chatting to my cousin’s ex-wife.
She moved back to New Zealand when they split and she now works for Peter Jackson at his post-production studios. She has just got her first feature film credit by doing a voice-over on Tintin and now she is working on the Hobbit. This month’s new famous friend is James Nesbit!
They have a vacancy for a receptionist. Tempted.

London Bits.
I couldn’t go to London without visiting a few shops (all within the Big Ass Budget of course) and compared to my usual self I was very restrained.
Nike Town
Teeny Nike Pro shorts for £10 - my challenge - if I wish to accept it (and I do) is to look hot enough to wear these to the gym by the end of 2012!
Dorothy Perkins
Yes I know I gave this to Shuv as a present, but I fell in love...

Little Bear at 6 months.
I popped on the coach to London today to meet up with my best friend and her little girl Lilly.
In my usual ‘I’m not going to listen to my Mum’s advice’ style I decided not to take a coat with me which was fine on the coach (slept like a baby the whole way), but as soon as I jumped off the coach I felt like I had entered the arctic and hot footed it into Next where I found...

Sales Shopping.
Guess who had to go Christmas Shopping in the sales.
Yep. This idiot!
Due to a spontaneous trip to London tomorrow to see my best friend and my Little Bear. It was Shuv’s birthday a week before Christmas so I also need to get her a birthday gift and I came up with this….
Shuv has been feeling a bit low about her weight after having Lilly, so I wanted to get her something to make...

Please someone save me.
My Mum keeps trying to force feed me.
Every five minutes.
Since I got home 15 minutes ago I have been offered a mini chocolate swiss roll, crisps and a party selection of oriental snacks.

Christmas Eats.
Normally at Christmas I am the female version of this little fatty…
…. but this year I have been really restrained and it hasn’t been that hard. To be totally honest I haven’t even had to try! CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!
Not once have I left the table and needed heavy lifting machinery to help me move to the sofa for a 4hr nap!
I have just eaten sensible portions, including...

Boxing Day 5k
I was super excited to try out my new Garmin this morning. So excited that I totally forgot to put the heart rate monitor on - stupid me is stupid!
Here I am looking slightly tired but raring to go! Kinda.
It took around a minute to find a satellite and then I was off on the same route I ran the other day to Southampton Common. I am starting to think that the roads in Southampton are made...

Garmin Question
…cos I am being a boy and I can’t be bothered to read the instructions.
If I want to pause a run to stretch/have a wee/perve at hotties what button do I press?
*edit* It’s a 305
