Hello,

Hope you guys don't mind if I swing by....I am teetering on the verge of maintaining now, so thought it was time to drop by.

I am just off out to a bootcamp I do once a week, so an hour of running, drills, Push ups squats etc!

(am a teeny bit still hungover from a friend's birthday celebration that went on for longer than it should on Saturday- so wish me luck, as all i really want to do is lie on the couch!!!)

Monday: 10 mile run... last long run before the big HM on Sunday. Thankfully it went very, very well for a much-needed confidence boost.
