My Baby Girl 8 Months Already

Where does the time go.....

Well this little lady is now flying around the place and into everything, and now that she has found her new freedom she does not like to be put in her travel cot or her highchair and she climbs out of her bouncer seat. She just wants to be free to roam around which isn't always possible when I have a 2 year old running around the place lol ...

 

Women's Mini Marathon in Dublin.

On the 4th July I ran the Flora Women's Mini Marathon. I ran 10k in 57 mins 55 secs. I am delighted with myself. I had been training since April and wanted to finish in under an hour. I'm thinking of signing up for another run now, not for sponsorship but just to keep me training and keep my fitness up. I really enjoyed training for this and found it really therapeutic. I raised €150 for Crumlin Children's Hospital, not a huge amount but better than nothing will do better next year when hopefully I won't have so much going on.

31 Day Challenge - Day 7 – Pet Hates

3.    Realising that I have forgotten something, when I have just got home from the shops.

4.    People letting me down at the last minute.

5.    Polystyrene, makes my blood run cold especially when 2 bits rub together.
