Trying to be a Yummy Mummy by Melanie

I've just signed up to do the Race For Life in Harrogate on 23 June 2010, giving me five months to build up from nothing to running three miles.  I don't need a bigger goal than that. I'm quite excited really.  It didn't occur to me before but I'd really like my hubby-to-be to bring our baby girl to watch, it would be nice to do something that she could be proud of me for (although let's face it, she won't have a clue what's going on, she'll only just be 2 but I think she'd look sweet in a pink feather boa and my medal). 

Actually, I'm going to dedicate the race to her, that will be my incentive for keeping up the training.  So here it is in black and white, I am going run every step of that race, no walking, and I'm going to stick to my training to make sure I do it for Victoria.

I am going out tomorrow night with a friend for a meal and instead of going for cocktails beforehand we are going to our local Marriott hotel and going for a swim/gym first. 

My friend is my bridesmaid and we bought the bridesmaids dresses in Monsoon just before Christmas. She wanted a size smaller to give her an incentive to lose weight.  I think doing things like that are a bit dangerous but I didn't question her decision.  However, as I paid for the dress I DO want to make sure she gets into it so I think I'm being supportive in her campaign by suggesting going to the gym. My fiance thinks I'm being a cow.  My friend didn't sound offended though and is up for it.  I want to start work on my bingo wings (strapless wedding dress) and have a go on the treadmill before I venture outside.

By the way, Realbuzz still isn't exactly user friendly is it. I can't work out how to get a profile picture up and I've just tried to cut and paste a Race For Life 'Widget' (link thing to my sponsor page) and that didn't work either.

Thanks for the comments, I found Lynda's other blog.  Still highly entertaining.
