Still here…just about

I have not blogged properly in what seems like forever…Mainly because I am sick of myself and felt that a grumpy Jules, a good Blogger does not make.

So, I thought I would just hide away a little until I felt a bit better about myself, but…I received a Tweet from Jill at JoggingJeans asking if I was OK, she said she missed my posts and it made me realise that I have seriously let myself get off track.

I really need to have a word with myself.  This issue with my back which has stopped me from running has worn me down.  I have had this back problem on and off for  about 3 years.  It goes in cycles, it will disappear for months and then I will wake up and will not be able to get out of bed.  After 3 years of it, it has worn me down.  I have a Doctors appointment on Thursday about it and let me tell you, I will beg if I have to, to get something done about this!  I have not been out to run for weeks which is bothering me but I am not giving up.  So although I have not blogged about running, I have not given up…I have had to take a forced break.  Hopefully I will have an update after I see the Doc on Thursday.

Day 29 and still going strong...

Throughout all this pain, I have still managed to not smoke…I have not smoked a single cigarette and today is day 29.   This is going to help me so much when I do start running again.  As a treat and to also to cheer myself up I have bough myself a copy of 50 shades of Grey by E.L James for my Kindle on PC.

50 Shades of Grey by E.L James

I have no idea what this book is about, I have not read anything about it other than it is fab so I am going to start reading it later and I will let you know how I get on.  I have never read a book before without knowing anything about it but I am told by Susan from Run, Susan, Run that I will not be disapointed.  Perhaps I will write a review?

So there it is…I am still here…I may not be blogging much but I am still reading your blogs and throwing in the odd comment.

Moving on…Yesterday was the Milton Keynes Marathon.  It was wet…very wet.  We have had 2 weeks of near constant downpours here so I while I envy all those people running, I was dry and warm.

MK Marathon

Well done to everyone who took part and a special shout out to Annie & Andy Hully who organised a fantastic event!

Anyway thats me for now…thanks Jill for the tweet, it gave me a much needed of a kick up the bum.
