Sign me up

First of all I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to every bodies lovely messages this week re my job interview and graduation, they really made me smile!

So who watched the London Marathon on the telly today? I did and my gosh did it give me one massive dose of inspiration. Those runners have such incredible power and are completely amazing they make me feel really humble. Anyway, it's made me want to take my running more seriously so I've signed up for a 10K Race for Life on July 9th in London. You can sponsor me here if you so desire. I can't even run 5K yet but I get better every week so with a bit of hard work and motivation I'm sure I'll be ok... fingers crossed! I'm really contemplating signing up for the Nike+ half marathon in London on September 25th as it'll be the perfect stepping stone for doing the London Marathon in 2012 but we shall have to see. Next year the Olympics are coming to London so if I was ever going to run the London Marathon, 2012 would be an amazing year to do it.

Enough talk of running, today was lovely and sunny so I decided to get my legs out and dress for the weather. I didn't even go anywhere (except for my morning run... last reference) but that didn't stop me tottering around the garden in my ancient wedges.

Tonight I'm off to the Royal Albert Hall with my parents to see some random musical event dedicated to the Royal Wedding. It's not really my thing but they have a spare ticket and are forcing me to go! Saying that, the location is fabulous so at least I can take some nice pictures. Might have to put tights on though because the sun has gone away.

  4. I felt really inspired by watching the marathon too! I'm going to sign up to a running event this summer to motivate me to train more often as I'd love to do the marathon one year. x

  6. I was watching the marathon all morning - it was so inspiring seeing them all!

    I'm signed up for the 5km Race for Life in June, I couldn't even contemplate the 10km at the moment - getting to 5km last year was effort enough and I started trainig the September before! So I am very imressed, go you!

  12. I would also LOVE to be able to run a marathon one day! Liverpool has started doing it's Marathon again so maybe if it does one in 2012 I will take the leap and do it. I think it will be less intimidating than the london marathon cos it won't be as big and on telly. First though I need to recover from this plantar fasciitis! Hehe.

  17. I didn't watch any of the marathon runners, but they impress me all the same. Will the 2 hours mark ever be cracked? I wonder. Love your camel-coloured ensemble, and I surly wouldn't have said no to the Royal Albert Hall (though maybe have preferred tennis). Hope you had a good time!

  18. Ooh, I really love this look, - love the colours!

    I'd LOVE to do a marathon but I'm SO lazy. The closest I'll ever get is doing voluntary physiotherapy at one or something, haha xx
