ooh!
I’ve been nominated for an award. In fact, I’ve been nominated for SIX awards!
The MAD Awards have been put together by Sally, Josie and Eleanor to celebrate the best of British parent bloggers.
They don’t have a category for ‘crappest marathon runner’ or ‘eater of the most chocolate in one sitting’ (a giant bar of Cadbury Whole Nut, if you’re wondering). But I have been nominated, and I know I should be cool and matter of fact about it but I’m not! Yay!
And if you want to vote for me too, well, hooray.
And if you already did, thank you for that too – if you were here, I’d share some of my secret Green & Black’s stash with you. I never win anything, so even being nominated has made my day.
I’m off to cast my vote. There are lots of amazing writers in this funny little blog world (see my links at the side there for some of them, although it’s a constantly list) and it’s nice to be able to show my appreciation.
It’s also a lovely diversion from thinking about that thing that’s happening in 25 days. Gulp.
birth of a marathon runner
I know I say that I decided to run the marathon last April but the catalyst came a long time before that.

We have a guest, and she’s on a mission.
The lovely Karin from CafeBebe is here to tell us how she has been lured into the wonderful world of running.
I Don’t Run Unless I’m Chased!
In the past, when people asked me if I ran I said “I don’t run unless I’m chased!” I’m still struggling with the whole concept and excruciating pain joy of running. However, I’ve never been so heavy in all of my life and something must be done! I read the blog of my host Rachael who is a self-confessed exercise avoider and thought, “If lovely Rachael can do it, why can’t I?” Then I watched Eddie Izzard’s series on BBC3, “Marathon Man”. A man who had only trained for 5 weeks prior to completing 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief is most definitely an inspiration. I didn’t think I could be inspired to run but now I am!
