A busy month or so

[lnr]

Since we were away with the family at the end of May I have:

• Been away to Manchester for UCU Congress - which was fantastically interesting.
• Been to Alison's hen party: chocolate making, night punting with a bat expert and cocktails.
• Been to Mobbsy and Alison's wedding: a very happy couple and very happy guests and lots of dancing. (photos)
• It was lovely to have Chris to stay for a few days for the wedding too, even if we'd rather he hadn't been delayed by having his car written off!
• Had a weekend off! Played lots of Diablo 3, watched football and tennis and didn't do much else.
• Visited Mike's parents to celebrate their Ruby Wedding anniversary. (photos)

I've also been logging exercise on Fitocracy and I even joined MapMyRun and went for a run. I'm still not convinced about running.

Looking forward to Laura's Cambridge hen party in a couple of weeks time - and sad to have missed the Edinburgh leg. Then after that I think I'm pretty free until late August when we're off to the Lakes for a summer holiday. Fingers crossed there's a bit less rain by then, but we're determined to enjoy it even if it tips it down :)

Come hashing! It's like running, but much more fun :-)

Heh, I'm not sure I'd survive. But remind me when it is and I'll at least think about it.

Every Monday at 7 o'clock, at the Radigund. It's much easier than parkrun.

That is, I started running doing something vaguely a bit like couch to 5K, and at the point where I could run 5K slowly I started hashing and found myself entirely fit enough to hash. It's very easy to stop and start on the hash, I think if I couldn't run a mile I'd find it hard work though.

I can run a mile, I did last week - just. It was definitely a case of watching the GPS by that point and *really* wanting to stop, and with an average heart rate of over 160. I'm not sure I could run 5K though.
