I've always wanted to be able to run. Never been able to or more to the point never really tried to much as I've always been a bit on the 'rotund' side (short and stumpy to those who don't know me ).

Well, now I've entered a fun run. Its only 5KM's but this is a long distance for me.

And never before have I ever associated those two words within the same vicinity as each other; That is 'fun' and 'run'.
Ill let you know how it goes

Aside from the running, one of the reasons I got into this health/fitness thing was to help improve my breathing for playing (cornet that is) and I just discovered today that I can now play phrases twice as long as I could before I had my holiday from playing. How cool is that?

I'm feeling a bit d&m at the moment (deep and meaningful) and thinking about friends.
Someone I know once told me that if you can have one very close friend in your life then you have been very lucky. I totally agree.
During school I didn't really have many, if indeed any friends and I went through the common scenario of bullying and that rubbish (I'm not saying this for sympathy).
So I only really began to have close friends once I began University.
My friends mean everything to me and more. I am fiercely loyal to my friends and I love them from the bottom of my heart and I would do anything for my friends.

OK, d&m finished. I just wanted to get that out there because I'm feeling particularly close to my friends right now.
