Forgot to say...

My Royal Marine brother? Place in the marathon? Nope, you guessed it, no place. So from the initial guilt trip about "the family" has actually blown up in my face. Marvellous just marvellous. Just down to me then...... Bugger.

Well well well

Now.. My training. From my initial post, I was soo enthusiastic (yet must agree it was somewhat hidden) I have done nothing..a big fat zero. I have been too "busy" with dating very unsuitable men, one that obviously doesn't like me, I don't actually like him, but am considering a second date.. Because.. Well, you should always keep your options open right? Wrong. So so wrong. Am turning into a middle aged, wine swilling, slightly tubby (as another date pointed out!) girl who tells people about the marathon as hell, it makes me feel better about myself. The big question I am faced with now? When do I realise that I need to make myself do this and stop wasting time on unsuitable men and using them as an excuse not to train!!

So, resolution for tonight (who says it's just new year eh?!)

1) get your lazy big bum out and around that common
2)only drink on a weekday if completely necessary (date with prince Harry..darn you will)
3) do NOT waste your time with boys who make no effort, and think that a "Sunday beers?" text is good enough for a date

This Alice is your challenge. Take it, run with it and if you fail? Have a fabulous excuse and make it enjoyable ;-)
