Marathon Challenge!

Ok so after a conversation with a friend the other day I was challenged to complete a Marathon within one year. So I decided to get on it straight away, I went to a specialist running shop and they advised me which running shoes to get. I had to try some on and run on the treadmill whilst they filmed my feet, which was a little bizarre, but actually very handy. I now realise I have never seen the backs of my heels properly. The nice lady in the shop brought me out a few different pairs, but when I put on one pair, they just spoke to me and asked me to buy them! They are so amazingly comfortable and a complete investment! I figured that I could not justify spending the money (£92 including socks!!) unless I was really going to put them to good use. I really want to be able to complete a marathon, and not just run it, but actually complete it in a good time :) Regular updates will be happening, I figure my blog is a good place for me to keep track of how good I am doing! My first run today went amazingly, it barely felt like I had shoes on and my fitness can only improve! Sunshine & Sparkles xxxx

End of the year

Ok so not being able to blog a lot has been rather lame recently. I have had an awful lot of work on and when I haven't been working I've been sleeping! I had a bit of a genius moment the other day (at least I think it was a genius moment) concerning university planning. I think that they shouldn't make everyone cram for exams and essays all at once at the end of the year, it should be a continual staggered process. Knowing how much stress people go through at the end of the academic year they should take this into consideration and do their best to limit this. I really should be allowed to run the country. I'd do a much better job! There would be cupcake days and no stress! :)
