Mini challenge update

Just back from the gym and Im still in front for the mini challenge (and it finishes on Monday!) so I'll try to go one last time on Monday and finish the challenge with a last hour and half cardio work.
Might have to sneak in half an hour tomorrow as I think my legs might give out if I try to do 90 minutes in one go!!

Ive had a good day today as I managed to give out 8 posters for the fencing courses Im running in the summer holidays for kiddies (www.buccaneerblades.co.uk if you're interested!)

I also got offered two jobs from old employers (which is nice.......bit strange as with a recession I thought there would be loads of people going for the jobs but hey - go figure!)

Ive got a fencing party booked for next weekend too so Im happy. Fencing breeches are a little snug as Ive put ON muscle on my calves!! but there you go.

I have a Hub meeting next week (the South West Cancer and Leukaemia Parent Support Group - www.swcancerhub.org ) and Ive sent out questions for a presentation I'll be doing and the feedback from my local area has been fantastic. Im so fired up again with their suggestions and input I cant wait for the meeting. It jsut shows that there are a whole load of people out there who want to be asked for their opinion and who have great ideas. We HAVE to help them and I hope that although its a tough time economically for the charities we are involved with, they will find it within their organisations to back us in what we need to do next. Finding and talking to these patients and their carers is just the most important part of our work and I hope we can re-focus on that next week.

Sorry for the little rave there but Ive really been reminded of why Im doing this challenge and how lucky we are as a family.

The last time I went to the gym I found myself listening to Fix You by Coldplay and I had a hard job not to blub as I still have a huge sadness that I couldnt stop my daughter getting ill - I guess you'd call it guilt. ......

And although every logical part of my brain says dont be stupid there was absolutely nothing we could have done I guess it is just part of being a parent - if it hadnt been leukaemia it would have been guilt over not stopping her falling off the climbing frame/buying her a pony/latest Barbie film/or a hundred other things.

C'est la vie covers it I think.
