Tonight I feel very happy. Maybe happier than I have in quite a while. I had a really productive and really good day today. It probably won't be of much interest to anyone else, but while I'm feeling it, I wanted to write it!

Got up at 6.30am. Drove into Uni. Sat and had a chat with Jared and caught up on replying to a few e-mails. Went to my workshop. Understood pretty much all of it, and enjoyed it. I have met some great new people in the group, and the tutor is probably the best I've had yet. So that was good; I felt I'd learnt a fair bit, my prep work had been OK, and I made very complete notes so I can type them up and post them on to Gary, who is in Australia...lucky git!!

Then I drove home, and made myself a lovely and very healthy lunch! Pitta bread with healthy living ham and healthy living brie. And a corn on the cob to go with it. Yum

Next up was the a trip to the doctors. Had an appointment to get another prescription for the pill, which entails being weighed. I've lost weight! So that's nice! Also managed to sort an appointment for tomorrow to see the same nurse about my asthma, so that's a good result too!

I came home and decided it would be best to go for a run then, while the weather was bright and I was in the mood. I had a hard run. It sounds nothing, and I'm sure it is nothing to a lot of people, but I have improved...I managed to run 3 minutes, walk 1 minute 5 times. Must have covered some distance. Quite chuffed with it. Was hard work but I pushed myself that little bit harder and I hope it paid off. Felt knackered straight after it but felt really good after that. Especially after a shower.

Following that I cooked dinner for my family. It went OK, I think...although I can never tell when they're bluffing when I cook!! I think they just appreciate that I try every now and then!

I'm now having a little rest before I go out with some old school friends I haven't seen in ages, which will be really nice I hope. And to top all that? Matt's due to come and visit me tomorrow for a long weekend

However, he's been ill today, so it's a bit in the air at the moment. I only just found this out and I have to say it's dampened my mood a little.

Anyway, have a good weekend guys and gals. xxxx

Someone needs to help me here, I'm a bit behind the times it seems:

What's a tag, and when would I use one?!

Answers on a postcard please!! Thanks!!

Started training for the Race for Life with Jo today. Had such a great time. We ran along Bradford-on-Avon canal, and managed to run one minute, walk one minute, 20 times. We were quite pleased with ourselves and I was really chuffed that my asthma didn't bother me today, like it did yesterday. I think I'm going to really enjoy this training with Jo. It's going to be good for us both in a lot of ways. We're aiming to be able to run for 15 minutes, then walk for 5 minutes, then run for 15 minutes in the actual thing. Let's hope we make it!

Jo has done amazingly with sponsorship - she has £230 already. I have £75 which isn't bad but I want lots more yet!

Other than that, spent the day doing a bit of work, and enjoying a bit of 'me time' while mum and dad went out for the day. Spent some of the afternoon talking to Matt on MSN which was nice; got to use our webcams too!

Not going out tonight. Decided to stay in, get some more work done so I don't have a busy week next week, and wait for Matt to get home so we can chat. I do love him so much and am so excited about seeing him for a long weekend next weekend - we're going to Cheddar on Friday

Feeling a lot more in control of things now than I was a couple of weeks ago. Getting things back on track and it feels good.

Will leave it there. I keep thinking this blog is nowhere near as 'profound' as it ought to be. Still...
