Day 8

Hi everyone, nice to see you again!

Today's topic to blog about is "What's on your bucket list?". I have many things on my list but here are the ones which made my top 7.

1. Run a marathon.

The human body can only store enough energy for around 20 miles, with a marathon being 26.2 miles it is an extremely tough mental and physical challenge. I'm in training for this goal currently so hopefully in May I'll be able to cross it off.

2. Go snow boarding - in real snow!

This is something I've always wanted to try. I was never particularly good at skateboarding but at least I would have a soft landing if I fell over!

3. Learn to surf.

Again, not something I would imagine I'd be good at but would love to give it a try.

4. Go to a climbing centre.

I've never used a climbing wall before, I know it would be great to build upper body strength and I'm sure it would be fun too.

5. Visit Hawaii.

I've heard so many things about Hawaii and would like to see it in person, especially sea turtles and a few of those beautiful sunsets.

6. Watch a Vikings game in their new home (when it is ready).

I've seen Minnesota Vikings play in Wembley - London, but would love to see them in the states.

7. Win a prize in a dog sport - fly ball, agility, disc etc.

My Border Collie x German Shepherd pup is super athletic and smart as you can expect and I'm positive she will fly through classes / shows when she's old enough!

Thanks for coming back to read my blog, hope you enjoyed it. Come back tomorrow to see what tomorrow's blog is about.

Day 3 and 4

Hi again, sorry for missing day 3 yesterday - to make up I'm doing day 3 and 4 now!

Day 3 was "5 facts about yourself" probably not the most interesting things but here goes -

1. I'm a Personal Trainer and run a small fitness business.

2. I'm a runner and am taking on the EMF Marathon this year for Macmillan Cancer Care - I know lots of people who have been or are being cared for by Macmillan nurses and it is an honour to be raising funds for them.

3. I have a Border Collie x German Shepherd puppy. I adore her and try to make my bond with her stronger everyday by teaching her new things.

4. I'm incredibly blessed to have such an amazing family - my Grandma and other half in particular.

5. I support the Minnesota Vikings (NFL) and have mega respect for one of their players - Arian Peterson.

Day 4 is "5 items you lust after". My list probably will not be the normal choices such as electronics etc but here are my top 5.

1. Fly knit Nike Free Runner 5 trainers - customised with my business and charity colours so I can stand out in my races and because I love the look of fly knits.

2. Border Collie savvy book, to teach me more about how to train my puppy and learn about the psychology of this super smart breed.

3. Canicross equipment so I can compete in running with my dog when she is older.

4. Under Armour Storm running tops - I already have a storm hoodie and in terms of running in the rain and it is amazing, you will come back bone dry.

5. EMF Marathon medal - it isn't something that you can buy but since I love a bit of "running bling" I'm aiming to earn it later in the year.

Thank you for taking time to read this update, come back tomorrow to see what day 5 has for me!
