Training since the POS has been fantastic, very relaxed and chilled until after New Year which suits me fine. Having had a busy year its essential to give the body and the mind time to recover in preparation for a busy schedule next year. I have to do three weights sessions per week and the longest run I need to do is 20k, how fantastic is that, especially at this time of year when there is so much to prepare for the Christmas festivities.
Everything seems to be going really well for me at the moment (I probably shouldn’t say that as it’s tempting fate) which is wonderful and I keep pinching myself to check that I’m alive and not living in a dream world! I have a new sponsor which is great but I will tell you about that next week and there is another very exciting project which is in the very early stages of being putting together but I’m delighted; in fact not delighted I’m absolutely thrilled and ecstatic. Even if it doesn’t happen the fact that someone contacted me, sorted bits and pieces and believes in me is enough to put the worlds biggest smile on my face!
To continue with the good news I have also been taken on by a Speaking Agency and a few other bits and bobs have come my way – the only way that 2012 can get any better is when I receive my certificate from GWR saying that I am the new Guinness World Record Holder for M2M. I may have broken the record for M2M by 10 hours but until I receive verification from Guinness I not the GW Record Holder. I have always tried to be very careful with any of my WR’s and will always make sure that in any publication it always states that I’m waiting for verification from Guinness (if I don’t already hold the record) as its not fair on the current record holder to say you have the GWR when in fact at that particular point in time you don’t, or in fact saying you have a record when you don’t.
HWMBO has still not touched a cigarette which is wonderful, he is however putting on a bit of weight due to his love of chocolate but to be quite honest he has always been a very slim man (due probably to his wife forgetting to feed him!) so the extra padding doesn’t really notice that much but in the New Year it will be time for him to start exercising which will be a a bit of a challenge – I can feel a bit of bonding coming on!
Christmas tree is up, food and wine is ordered and to top it all off my sister has sent me a marvellous PINK Santa hat for my Christmas day run, its all go go go!
Have a wonderful weekend and happy training
