Tuesday... and counting down...

Hi, well I think the exam went well. It was one of those exams where you really haven't got time to revise everything you know you should, so you just focus on what you hope will be some of the main topics that come up in the questions. A dangerous strategy, as I have often found that my mind must work in a different way to the chief examiners who make the question choices!

Anyway, on this occasion my previous attempts at guessing the key topics must have paid off as each of the key topics I spent time looking at came up! What a fluke! I had to answer five out of eight questions in the three and a quarter hour exam, and I managed four and a half all of which I feel I answered in enough detail to get a decent mark, so hopefully I have passed. I find out in about five months (I really don't understand why it takes that long to mark, but hey ho!)

In my post exam wisdom yesterday I kind of decided to try and take up running and do a half marathon in September. I know - I very brash decision for the non fit! However I have recently quit the cigs, and I used to be fairly athletic - all be it I hold a few more pounds than in my athletic and netballing days!

Anyway, I have found a training website and have had a training plan drawn up and it appears feasible that a beginner with no fitness can train up to half marathon standard in four months, I may need to see it to believe it, but I'm willing to give it a go!

I do feel as though I need new trainers and a good running outfit (ha ha - any excuse to shop!), but I am really keen on doing this. I've applied for a place supporting my employees charity for the year, so I think if I get the place, it must be fate.

I do feel it would make my late Grandad very proud, so its definitely worth the try.

I'll keep you posted - off for my first training session now.
