Talking of Running

Here's me (and my mum) back in September, before the Bristol Half Marathon

This time I've been sent a Beat running vest. I'm super duper excited to wear it and be all like 'Heeeeell Yeaaaaah Fuck u Ed.'

Everyone should do/say the same thing to all the things that make them sad (as in 'fuck u'). Including people. If someone doesn't make you feel happy and comfortable then they shouldn't be in your life. SEE YA people who don't make us happy.

Have a happy Thursday!!!

Half Marathon & Drinking Beer

Nine minute miles for nine miles. BOOM.

I'm excited for the half marathon now, until recently I was really quite nervous. Training has not been easy what with the the hurricane force winds that have been battering the uk recently. Sometimes the wind is so strong that I'm running but not actually making any progress, like a cartoon running in midair before realising and crashing to the ground. I don't crash to the ground though, obviously. I just make no progress and feel frustrated and unfit. 

I'm going to a German beer festival (in Germany. Unsurprisingly.) with a group of friends next week; a solid week of drinking is ideal training I feel. So I'm doing what is in effect my last week of training before I bunk off to Germany and try to find a love of beer (I'm more a cocktail or g&t kinda gal, not that I've mentioned my active dislike of beer to anyone yet...) and then I have about six days to recover AND THEN thirteen miles beckons. 

A friend who went on the same trip last year informed me that he was hungover for over a week. 'You're going to struggle,' he helpfully said in regards to the half marathon 'you're going to suffer'. 

Boys are always such drama queens. I'm never as hungover as they are, purely because they are always so over dramatic about their suffering. I'll be totally fine.

Off for a run, have a happy Thursday!!
 

Today Ellie (the Ellie that I mention an actual embarrassing amount and who bakes really good cakes) asked me why I don't blog anymore.

YEAH GOOD SHITTING QUESTION ELLIE.

I don't know why I haven't blogged since September but here I am ready to blog blog blog like a crazy bloody blogger.

Yippe!!

Also, I've just discovered that today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. I definitely haven't celebrated this at all (ie I haven't performed any random acts of kindness) but am going to do so tomorrow because spreading kindness is nice and can be done randomly on any day of the year.

Double Yippe!!

BUT OH MY GOD HOLD THE PHONE JUST ONE HOT MINUTE.
Tomorrow is also Drink Wine Day. DRINK WINE DAY. Tomorrow, the entire day is dedicated to drinking wine. I can totally celebrate that, although the idea that drinking wine needs a special day is sort of ridiculous/actually offensive. But whatever, I wont say no to another very good reason to crack into a bottle of horribly cheap wine on a Tuesday night.

Triple Dipple Raspberry Ripple Yippe!!!
