Well its been a while since my last blog! Or does it just seem that way?

Things have been pretty busy here between appointments with Charlie and the kids club we run as well as the usual fun day to day stuff!

Charlie still hasn't had his MRI scan (It's still being replaced apparently - how long can it take?! ) So things with him are no different really.

Have decided that i really need to take control of my life right now, I have been flitting between one thing and the next so often and been so busy with everything going on that I feel like I've sort of lost direction.

I woke up this morning to a harsh reality that the Race for life that i signed up for months ago is in 4 weeks time! So after a panicked rush to the internet to buy some scaffolding (AKA a sports bra! ) I have made a conscious decision to make these next 4 weeks really count. I'm not under any silly impressions of finishing the course in record time, or even running it all i am quite happy to walk / jog / run the course as it comes, I just want to FINISH it! lol.

But this race is SO important to me, Cancer is something that has affected just about everyone I know, and probably everyone you will know too. And after a horrible year watching my mum go through Lung cancer, surgery , chemo and all the aftermath it really drums home how vital it is for research to be funded. I also think it is important that people realise that its ordinary people that can make a difference to that, I mean look at me I am just an everyday mum with 3 (gorgeous ;-) ) kids and I have so far raised about £130 , I know that doesn't sound much but there are 2000 people doing the same race as me and if they all raised that much it would add up to a pretty impressive amount! And that's just the one race there are loads all over the country. I know it's a cliché but when it comes to things like this every penny really does count!

I have never really been "good" at exercise, or maybe that's just a lame excuse ! but I have spent so much time on and off crutches with my joints dislocating that I've never really gotten into it so to speak ! But I DO reallllllllly need to lose weight and I really want to get in better shape , not just for me , in fact least for me but mainly for my kids, I don't want them to have a fat mum who's too cabbaged to run around after half an hour with them etc ..

Anyway i feel like I am getting a bit negative here so will end it here!

Oh and will drop my sponsor page in just in case anyone is feeling mighty generous ;-) raceforlifesponsorme.org/wendypitts
