It's a Plan Stan!!

TRAINING IS HARRRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Half Marathon Lark is no joke.. I already knew that but things are really starting to sink in as training is becoming more and more difficult, so I have come up with a plan which means I will actually be able to run the MAJORITY of the race and FINISH it whilst still breathing! :D Win- win right?!

Sponsored To RUN IT OUT!!!!

Hey beautiful followers (yes I'm buttering you up but let's face it, my mama raised me to tell the truth!),
                     
As you could have picked up on from previous posts, if not you certainly will from this one, I'm going to run a half marathon in October...

Welcome to A Twisted Tale at The Summer Ball ♥

Sound the alarms and ring out the bells!!! EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!! Sorry for what seems to me (as it probably does to you) to be longest absence in the whole history of man! But when revising for exams takes precedence and us students actually remember why we started University to begin with, we tend to become hermits! BUT I am back (Was that a "hurrah!" I heard you scream?)!! :P

Running in Monsoon Season!

Now, my uncle lives in Malaysia so Monsoon Season over there really is no joke. But considering England has a hosepipe ban and drought warnings, we aren't doing too badly for rain. I am not the biggest fan of running in the rain, drops of water stinging my face etc, I can think of more enjoyable runs. BUT, I went out twice (that's good for me) in the rain and pounded out a couple of miles!

However, since then, the dismal weather has been getting me down a bit so in order to stay motivated I have a few things around my room at uni to help me out.............

Bangs and her Girls!

Day 1 of Half Marathon Training & Valencia Prep!

Getting Back to Running

So training today was okay, but I can admit that man, I am out of shape! I busted my gut out there today doing my usual walk-run plan, and it was hard! I was a little nervous before as I forgot my bad boys (read: trainers) at uni and wore my trusty Reebok's (No Chav jokes please, I was exercising) instead. I had no lycra, no proper trainers and hadn't been running in a while, so to say I was nervous was a little bit of an understatement.

5 Things To Smile About in Sassy Land ☺

It's an exciting time in Sassy Land at the moment with things unravelling to some pretty awesome events in the near future... Here are my 5 things to smile about right now!

Stepping Out for 13.1 Miles!

It is official: I've committed to running my very first half marathon this year... So it looks like 2012 really will be the year I take on my life!

Mockery of the British Justice System: The Extended Edition

We all remember it well. The haunting face of 9 year old Shannon Matthews who went missing on 19th February 2008, filled us all with horror as yet another child went missing. The worrying trend which seemed to be growing at an alarming rate had struck again, this time taking Shannon.

Life Lessons: Part 1

With social media allowing everyone to promote themselves at all times, are there some things we should learn before we push ourselves onto others?

Festival Fever!

It's no surprise that I've never been to a festival (I go on holiday too much to be able to afford it!) but this year I really really wanted to go to Download Festival!
My love of live rock music has been deprived since that epic Iron Maiden concert way back in August last year! And had anyone (yes, anyone) given me a job, I wouldn't be in the predicament in which I find myself....
