Rookie Runner by Wendy_Rogers

Hi all,

I went to Yoga on Friday afternoon and had a really relaxing session. We did loads of breathing techniques and we were all nearly nodding off. I felt myself twitch a few times!!! I was a little concerned I would start snoring, as hubby says I have been doing that a bit lately  I think it must be the pressure of my extra chins resting on my throat

I had a lovely day yesterday celebrating my friend's 50th birthday at a restaurant in Liverpool, which used to be a Russian Orthodox church. The food and company was great, but I was a little unimpressed when I went to the loo and went to dry my hands under the drier and sparks flew out at me, along with a burning smell. I know I'm hot stuff, but that's ridiculous  It shook me up a bit, as I sprung back against the door to escape the inferno - ok ... slightly dramatic ... it was just a few sparks!! What can I say? I'm a woman. I like exaggerating

The weather is lovely here today and I'm hoping I may be able to go for regular walks now.  Mind you, it's more of a waddle now. I go to a breastfeeding group on a Monday and the Health Visitor there said that I had got loads bigger since she saw me last week!!!! I will have to put weights in my shoes to stop me floating off into the sky soon

I hope you are all training hard and I can't wait to get to run again - probably be another 6 months yet. I have several running partners lined up to help me get back into it, so that'll make it all the more enjoyable.

Have a great week everyone.

Wendy
