Happy Days......

Sorry for the lack of blog lately... I've been one busy bee! Where do I begin....

Well, after an ickie few weeks of snot and lurgy, I'm finally back to feeling peachy! On the 26th April, I hit the 300 mile mark... I know I'm still behind from my year end target, but you know what... I don't care because I'm just really enjoying the whole journey!

28th April marked Challenge No. 9... Jane Tomlinson's 'Hope & Glory' 14 mile walk in the Peak District.. accompanied by my fab son! The sun was shining, it was a beautiful in a beautiful part of the country! We were up early to get there for the 9am start, it took us just over 5 hours to complete, with the route taking us up and over Win Hill Pike, Back Tor, Lose Hill and the stunning Mam Tor. I have never been more proud of my boy, he did so well!

Managed to get a couple of days off work last week, which made my Bank Holiday weekend a 5 day weekend :) It was also Hubby's birthday so was lovely to spend some quality time together... wanting to keep my training up, he agreed (as a birthday treat) to accompany me on a long bike ride... we mapped a basic route and set out last Friday morning, after 5 hours we had to call it a day as a certain little Pickle needed collecting from school... but we did manage to complete 50.10 miles :)

I was surprised at how good I felt afterwards, apart from a bit tired, I was feeling pretty good (couldn't sit down) but still good ;)

Family BBQ and bouncy castle on the Saturday to celebrate Hubby's birthday, then I completed Challenge No. 10 on the Sunday...... Bling in Motion: 10k Spring Bling! It was a secret squirrel event, and that's all I can say about that one! ;)

Today, went on a little 3 miler with Mother and Pickle up to the lakes to feed the ducks, enjoying the last of the sunshine before its back to reality tomorrow and back to work :(

So, total mileage to date is a grand total of; 378.04 miles in the bank! BOOM!

Ciao for now lovelies!
