Fitting right ? Well I think so! I was killing some time in Waterstones in the Self Help section and this book screamed out to me. I don’t need to buy it, the title says enough, and this photo has found it self permanently stuck to my phone. It helps. It makes me smile, it reminds me of my focus and my aim and that’s a positive.
Today is Sunday, 40 weeks exactly until I take part in the half marathon and the day I had planned to start my healthier lifestyle and get back in to training.

He learnt the hard way… 😉

Litres of water- 1 Caffeine – 0 Gluten – none 5 a day – 5
