Busy times in Diary

I broke my own running record the other day and ran 2.7km / 1.7 miles without stopping. Sure I felt like I was going to die and kept wanting to stop, but I kept myself going with little targets all the way through. “If I run for over eight minutes, that’s longer than I’ve run before. Now I might as well do 10 minutes, now I’m close to a mile so I’ll just do that.” I didn’t think I could keep going but I did and I’m really pleased :-D

I’m watching Crufts dog show at the moment. It takes place next door to where I work so I’m glad I was on the early shift this week as there would have been thousands of extra cars during rush hour. I love the things like flyball, agility, duck herding, heelwork to music. It’s great to see the dogs having a good time :o) What Crufts is famous for, though, is the Best in Show competion, which I don’t agree with. There’s a lot in inbreeding to produce pedigree dogs and they have a lot of health problems :o(

I’ve decided to go for the roller derby pinup girl as a tattoo and today I booked it in and paid a deposit, eeeee, excited! It’s on 24th March if I can book the day off work. It’s going to be a full day session from 10am-5pm. The lady asked me “Do you think you can sit for a full day?” I said I didn’t know as the only other tattoo I have only took 15 minutes! But if I’ve booked her for a full day, I’ll have to pay for her time regardless so I’m determined to do it. I’ll take a book and a drink, and they said they usually have a film on as well so hopefully if I have enough things to distract me, I should be ok!

My car started making a really loud noise the other day, coming from the exhaust. I took it into the garage and he said it was completely split in half and just about to fall off..I’d just come off the motorway so I’m glad it didn’t fall off there! He tied it up for me and I had to go back next day to have it replaced for £195. The car also needs a service so that’s another £100. Cars aren’t cheap!

I’ve got so many things coming up in the next three months.
