No, don't worry; I haven't fallen off the wagon again, and gone on a fast food binge so bad that it has wreaked havoc on my digestive system. I am referring to barmy 'phase two' of the grand plan to run the Manchester 10k next May, a half marathon towards the end of 2012, and the 2013 London Marathon. Phase one being of course losing enough weight so carrying out phase two does not result in both of my kneecaps exploding, and the collapse of Tower Bridge.
Like everything else, this grand plan will consist of lots of small steps; but there will also be moments when things become that little bit more real. That happened this last week when I booked my place on the Manchester 10k, plus I've picked the half marathon which I will be doing next year; and it's a biggie. So it's the Great Manchester Run, followed by the GREAT NORTH RUN, and finishing off in London; quite a combination.
When I think of the end of the journey, it can be quite emotional; I can almost imagine how it will feel to cross that line after so much trial and effort for two years; the feeling of completion, as well as the feeling of a new beginning. It will be powerful; either that or I will be so bone-shakingly knackered I won't even be able to remember my own name!
But there is a fair bit of water to pass under the bridge until we get there, so it's back to a big bowl of salad, my spinach ricey thing (you may hear a lot about that) and a couple of salmon fillets.
One final question; I own Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DVD......why then am I watching it on TV?!!!!!
