Living La Vida Loca!!

So, here I am in Spain and what is the only think I can think about? Yeah, a home cooked meal by my mum!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm loving the hot weather and the tapas and for sure the icecream, but things would be going a lot smoother if I had my home comforts here. For example, I don't have the internet where I'm staying- the only reason for posting is that I have borrowed somebody's iPad!! Four weeks without internet, proper coffee and a comfortable bed and you start to feel homesick pretty fast.

Finding the right iD

Nike iD that is!

A more light hearted post than the last; I have decided to treat myself to a brand new pair of running shoes after the Oxford Half Mara as a reward for making it to the finish line alive!

Probably a bit too bright but hey they're mine!

Don't Call Me a SLUT!!!

So in light of the Assange case and terms such as "Legitimate Rape" being thrown around recently, the gals of the world feel it's time to unite once again on what is known as a Slut-walk.

Everyone hates you because you're such a slut!

Now I know that George Galloway is a prize prat and thinks it's okay to rape women but not everyone does-- hence the slut walk. But forgive me if I'm wrong but haven't we all seen that trashy girl hitting on everyone's boyfriend (and sometimes their girlfriends!) and remarked that she's "such a slut!"? Yeah I thought you had!

Be Pretty on Rest Days!

So given that I was 99.9% against the Olympics this year what with it usually being ALL track and ALL football on our screens with none of the other sports being shown, I have actually thoroughly enjoyed having the Olympics in London. But I am all for women sweating it out for fitness........

So forgive me for joining the ranks of women who were shocked and appalled that London's Victoria Beckham of running, was out and out called HIDEOUS by a randomer on Instagram.Now the image in question was after a hill training session, which most people can imagine won't result in a stunner of a picture!

Going Bananas!!

Ahhh I started an INSANE workout program this week and let me tell you now, that shiz is BANANAS!!!
In a half hour workout of jumping and leaping about, I have never done more simple moves and worked myself so hard!! I could hardly walk this morning! It was crazy as and bless my parents, who went to bed at 9.30pm so I could take over the living room to do it!!

Tough Decisions

Okay so I'm not ranting. I'm questioning.

Why is it SO difficult to accept that I (a 20 year old student) have decided to give up alcohol except on special occasions, such as Christmas or weddings, my 21st Birthday or an anniversary bash etc? Why is that so unfathomable?

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!
