Change is good for us… right?!

Well, that’s what I’ve been told but as I write this with the start of the winter cold and a pulled calf muscle I’m not entirely convinced. So this is my first blog entry – apologies for the delay but the changes in my life have been coming thick and fast.

A new job and new flat in a new city have kept me busy over the past few weeks. Try to add in some training and life has been passing by in a flash. I’m now settling back in Edinburghlife and have joined a gym so all is on course for a fit 2012 – of course, the gym membership doesn’t start until Jan 1st so until then I can eat and drink as much as I want (that is how it works isn’t it?!)

A real benefit of being back in Edinburgh is being closer to my challenge buddy Bri and having a few of our dedicated supporters on hand to keep us motivated. As the picture below shows – sometimes the help has been more wine related (lunging whilst drinking counts as training in my book!). However, that night was followed by a practice run of the Great Winter Run route on Saturday morning. Bri and I were accompanied by our friends The Hardings as we slogged up the big hill and forced ourselves to keep running even when the wind was biting. We all completed it though and despite a few aches and pains we are well on track for the big event to start. There’s still time to join us –

But for now, I wish you all the best for the festive season.  I hope you’re all on the nice list and Santa makes it down the chimney - don’t forget the carrot for Rudolph! 

Let’s raise a toast to a challenging 2012!
