Well you all know that Garry has has been buying us gym equipment for the house. We have had to move from the back room into the front room now because the gym just keeps getting bigger.

I have my brilliant treadmill in the window so I can watch what's going on outside pity I cant see past the gate ;-(. I try and do 3.1 miles a day ready for Septembers race.

I have now joined an outside gym for the company as well. It's called Gymophobics and it's in Birkenhead, up loads of steps so you get a workout just getting in. The staff our brilliant, they keep telling me I a am causing trouble ME!!! would I do that.

The machines there are great they don't use weights like in a normal gym or at home, they use air pressure. So the only hard thing you have to do is press a button to get to the right weight. SUPER.

After I have spent my 30mins yes 30mins doing my workout I feel pumped ready to do more so in the afternoons when I go I have started to meet Garry after work and walk home with him.

When you have picked yourselves up off the floor I did say walk I even walk to his place and meet him from work first. No bus, or taxi; if this keeps up on the taxi firms are going to go bust.
When Gemma did her race for life Garry and I walked home from Birkenhead Park I moaned all the way home from Duke Street Bridge.
last Tuesday Garry and I walked to our Pam's it took us 45 minuets and I didn't even feel the hill by the tunnel entrance and I didn't moan once.

I have been a member of Gymophobics for a couple if weeks now and on Thursday I got weighed again and I had lost a 1lb or .5kl in one week that makes me feel really good I must be doing something right at last.

My 1st 5K Run

Well I have really gone and done it now!!!

Soft Ollie's here has only gone and sighed up to run in the Woman's 5Km Hydro run at Sefton Park on 16th September, (that's a Sunday, you know the lying in day don't have visitors. don't answer the door and maybe answer the phone) in the morning like early before noon!!! I can't even take my quite Garry wont let me.

I am running on behalf of a charity called Make a Wish Foundation UK,

Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. This year the charity is celebrating 21 years of wish granting. Make-A-Wish was founded in the UK in June 1986 and, since then, they have granted over 4,400 wishes. At any given time, over 20,000 children in the UK are living with life-threatening conditions and their aim is to grant 21 wishes a week by the year 2010. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a policeman for a day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favourite celebrity or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child's life and provides memories for the family that last a lifetime.
