Two blogs, two lots of work, half the time..... and the zombies

Having two blogs to do and no time is becoming rather frustrating as I have to use my comic wit twice during a day rather than just the once. Seeing my dad always used to call me a half wit I officially have to use four times as much brain power to be funny (hope everyone is keeping up). I read the previous blog post and thought I would put a few positives on your training. First you lose weight, through running I lost 3 and a half stone in around 4 months. Second is the immense satisfaction you feel after you hit a milestone. My first one was running 4 miles for the first time then 12 then 20. Third, I was the first person to ever run a half marathon then a full marathon in our family. Having their support when you cross the line after you first race is fantastic and a feeling you will never forget. The forth is being fit and everything that comes with it. I never get sick, I always eat well because I know it will affect my training otherwise and little things like being able to fit into a pair of 32 jeans when you had to squeeze into a pair of 38's really make you smile. What I love most is having my playlist, running 18 miles down by the river and watching the landscape change everyday. You can switch off from work and all the stress that surrounds it. You can forget about everyone and have a moment of self indulgence where all you are worrying about is yourself. You can work out your pace, work out your miles or even your bank balance it's up to you. I love thinking about the most diverse things like if we had a zombie attack which parts of the house would me most tactically advantageous to stay in and how many shells would I need for my shotgun. Can zombies run? How long would it take to wear one down? Is a snooker Que really an effective zombie disposal method?

    I'm also one of St George's marathon runners - however I seem to be having a blonde moment and can't work out how I can register to contribute to this blog? Any chance you could add me?

    1. Hi Jenny

      I sent your invitation to jenny.tasker@lloydsbanking.com. Is that right or do you want me to try another email address? You just need to create a google login to join the blog from your invitation. In the meantime I'll try sending it to your work email address again.

      Hope it works this time x
