No. 24 - See 10 bands I've never seen at Glastonbury

Have you seen the Glastonbury line-up?

Some of it got announced yesterday - loads of people are complaining about it, but I'm pretty excited about it.

And I am pretty sure that it's going to be really easy for Sam and I to see 10 bands we've never heard of - just as long as it's not on Friday - every band I want to see is playing Friday, and all at the same time. What are they playing at?

no 7. Shaping up

So, I went for run no.2 last night.

I now have another couple of shaping up goals to aim for after Glastonbury now so I have to get this exercise thing moving;

• The boys' sister is getting married, abroad, in September.
• And he is off to work in India for about 6 weeks in October. Which means a weeks holiday, hopefully in Kerala, for me at the end of it.

Both of which will require me to wear nice clothes. And little dresses. My little dresses, that I love so much, don't really fit all that well right now.

Right onto the run;

• The lungs still felt like they wanted to escape.
• The knees started to hurt a little {but with their issues, that's was to be expected}

• But I made it a little bit further this time before I walked. The housemate kept telling me just a little further, just a little further, and it worked. And we went one road further before turning home. It did mean finishing the run on a long slope though.

We've set a 5k challenge for me in 8 weeks time, which I guess would be just before Glasto - which might work out just perfect. I don't want to be huffing and puffing my way through those fields again.

But I thought exercise was meant to make you healthier - I seem to have acquired a non-smoker's smoker's cough. Why is that people? Why?

no 7. Shaping up

Last night I went for a run, well, I think it was more of a jog.

I have been telling my housemate I’ll go with her for weeks, but there has always been ‘something’ in the way of the running.

She asked me last night, and I thought, what can I tell her I have to do so I don’t have to go? There was nothing that I could think of to get me out of it, so I sucked up the fear of exercise and went.

The main obstacle I thought might be lack of suitable gear, but as it turns out, when I moved back to Leeds, the random box of shoes I brought with me {and subsequently have barely looked in} housed some of my trainers - and just check out those doozy's.

And, on they went, with the sweat pants and an old tshirt and out for the first run of my life I went.

It was just over a mile, which might not sound much, but to someone who has never ever liked running {I am more of a water baby} I thought it was a pretty good achievement. Now I have got to get round without my lungs trying to force their way out of my chests and my head going bright red.

Easy right?

March

March was snowboarding in France and Italy, belated gifts from old friends, a trip to London, nights out, baking, photoshoots.

3 months of pictures down.

Doing well so far.......

This is the inside of the cake after my messy team mates had their fill.

I am still happiest with the blue layer.
