I am very aware that I have not been blogging so much lately but I am so busy and absolutely shattered if I'm honest. I am back to work full-time now and its still silly season, plus I had been training in preparation for my 10 km at the weekend. Oh yeh plus Iv'e been doing lots of socialising which is exhausting.
Speaking of which I did complete the race in 1hr 17 mins which is exactly what I predicted and I wasn't last! I can honestly say it was hell and I did keep asking myself what the hell I was doing there whilst running up steep hills and running through bogs up to my knees. My final sponsorship money was £800 so it was all worth it in the end. I really need to run a normal road 10km to compare them both, I am sure a road race is not as torturous.
We will be bringing home a new vintage caravan at the weekend to do up over the winter. She is a 1969 Cheltenham Sable just like the one below. They are lovely caravans with loads of character, I haven't named her yet will have to see her first. The plan is to get a couple of caravans and do them up so they are ready for the Spring, so there will be no rest for me when the summer season ends. We have had interest from a family who would like a caravan done to there specification for next year, just need to find the right caravan for them. So I think we can say "Shabby Chic Vintage Caravans" is up and running, just need to sort out the web site.
Hi dad says come to boro next week and do the 10k there it is dead flat, You did really will last weekend but alan said you are both doing the big one next year
ReplyDeleteWell done for your race, that's such an achievement, there's no way could I do it, you should be really proud. The caravan venture sounds really exciting too - ooh I would love a little caravan, would have such fun making it pretty! x
ReplyDeleteWell done on the race - I could not even contemplate running yet, buildings would fall down! I love your pretty caravans but suspect Mr G would not tolerate the decor (he's ok with mugs and teacups and bags for me)
ReplyDeleteI must be way behind but I've only just noticed your hair colour has changed. Looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd ever so well done on the race - I can't run anymore at all - shin splints -so disappointing. But have to start to cycle again as the pounds are piling on very quickly. (I love my biccies and cake.)
Looking forward to seeing what you do to the new caravan. The last one (Betsy?) was fabulous.
