  • Whoa there...

    This morning, I ran 10km, in 52mins 15 seconds, which may be a personal best. I think it is. Anyhow. The sub 8:30min mile is definitely in my grasp. It felt quite easy to get this pace, I didn't do a mad sprint finish, and I recovered really quickly.

    (goes to check race results).

    Yup. A PB. Rock on.

    Last night, I went to the annual rugby club alumni dinner. I left just as they were getting a bit boorish with alcohol. I was very, very sober. Well. No. I was silly sober, which is quite fun. And, unlike last year, I do not have the hangover from hell, and therefore I am much happier than I was this time last year. I may actually achieve things this time round. Heck. I've already achieved a run. I also need to achieve some baking for a cake sale at work tomorrow, to try and raise a little more money for the Half Marathon next weekend (and yes, haven't I been lovely not blatting on about the half marathon all the time on my blog? This is because twitter got the brunt of it!). Next up is to go to the supermarket, get some baking on the way, and then deal with a whole heap o' Brownies related admin.

    I seem to have done a lot of Brownies recently. We had our Division Meeting on Tuesday, and we got through the entire (HUGE) agenda in an hour and a half. We also had a woman come in and talk about wildlife and conservation and how we could encourage our Brownies, and, hopefully, we leaders will get some sort of training about pond dipping and beetle hunting. We have Hampstead Heath near enough to us for visits, and there's all sorts of habitats there, we just need to know where to look. Beetles are important, after all. We had a good meeting on Friday night, too, with almost a full complement of children, and they learned some knots, and how to address envelopes, and were interviewed for the BBC by a couple of former Brownies. Grand fun.

    So now, the list. As is standard.
