Well Hello There.....

Long Time, No Write....

Hello! I'm back! 

Well, it's been a while since I last posted here and I thought that it's about time I got back on the blogging!

I have been making a little bit of progress with my 30 things so, without further ado, I guess I'll crack on with the update!

#3 Visit the Southern Hemisphere

I am happy to report that this has been well and truly ticked off the list! At the end of March I boarded a Malaysian Air flight and 28 hours later I landed in Auckland! I had a fantastic trip and I will have to dedicate a whole separate blog to the trip and photographs; first of all I need to buy a laptop I can actually download the photos onto....but here's a wee taster for you....

Maori Carvings

Clare, Rob & Jess at Cathedral Cove

Milford Sound

Sunrise on Hot Water Beach

#5 Run a 10k

I haven't run my 10k yet, HOWEVER since arriving back from NZ I have booked myself on a 10k run in August in Geenwich Park and have embarked upon the c210k training app. I've not been too consistent with the training so far, but now things have quietened down a bit I'm getting back on it. Just about to move onto week 5 of the 14 week training programme. 

I'm a few weeks behind (whoops!!) and won't finish the programme before the race but I can always do a 5k at Greenwich(there seems to be a choice on the day) and then book in a 10k in September or October.

#6 Go to the Dogs

Not completed this yet, but it's in the diary for this Friday (5th July) - let me know if you fancy joining us!

#7 Climb a Mountain

Again not completed, but have taken steps to go up Ben Nevis. I will be arriving into the beautiful highlands on 9th August and climbing Ben Nevis on the 10th - anyone out there fancy a trip up to the amazing Scottish Highlands and climbing to the top of Britain??

Ben Nevis: Hopefully there will be a lot less snow in August!


I have loads more updates on other things in the list and I will catch up on all of these in the next couple of weeks (hopefully).

Ta-ra for now!
