I'm on holiday!

Ok, so what's been happening this time??

Well on Friday I went to the gym and did the longest run of my life. I think I ran about 13.5 miles, so that's about a half-marathon, so I'm getting there at least.

The first hour was non-stop, then I had a few minutes of walking uphill on the treadmill and then I carried on with the run. My nipples were hurting again after a while, so I do need to think seriously about that. If I use plasters it should be fine, but I'll need to shave my chest before sticking anything, or it'll just come off :-s

Well what elsle has happened, well I had a quiet weekend till Sunday morning, when I woke early to buy my ticket for Glastonbury, I was on the ciomputer at 9am to tyr and get through, I spent ages on the phone and with two computers, and finally I managed to get a ticket through a friend, but then I still needed to continue for my brother and Ant. I go tthrough on the website at about 1130, and then had problems, the only tickets left were coach tickets, and then there weren't any from Birmingham left so thwey had to get tickets from Gloucester. Anyway, after this was sorted we had abit of a celebration, and started drinking, needless to say I got a little drunken and passed out in the early evening I think. Hmm need to cut back on that one for a while.


So went to work on Monday, and then on Tuesday I caught the train to Exeter and then a coach to Bude and now I'm sat in my Nan's house in Bude. It's lovely here, the weathers fantastic and the break is doing me the world of good.

I went for a run yesterday, and I had a little adventure!

I went onto the beach, then up onto the cliffs, and everything was going smoothly, until I cane to a massive complex with a load of sattelite dishes. They were huge, it was atcually quite scary, and then I got lost. I headed away from the complex, only to be chased by some bulls in a field. I then changed course, and the bulls started following me, I got more lost. I finally managed to find my way back onto the path, andcontinued on my way. I found the way inland away from the cliffs with the intention of beginning my journey back, only to discover I was in Stanbury. I asked a local farmer who told me to go down some road - so I followed it and followed it and followed it for miles.
Four hours after I left I finally arrived back at my Nan's. Feet were a bit sore, and legs aching but otherwise unharmed.

My neck was hurting slightly though, and it wasn't until the late evening that it suddenly twigged, I ran to the mirror and noticed quite bad sunburn across my neck and shoulders. Typical eh? Well at least I know I'll be able to get a tan while I'm here.

Right well gotta be off, got loads to do, and need to keep studying. Should be doing plenty of running while I'm here too though.

Take it easy... I know I will be!
