Funday Friday

 So SO glad its Friday! And what a way to end a full on week but with a Fun Run! Every time I've gone to blog this week I've felt a bit tired and stumped. So much as gone on since I last blogged, just lots of little things, but it's also a strange time of year for me - having lost Nanna in May 2011 and Mum in June 2012.

This week started well but but soon became hectic when I became full time (unprepared, ill-equipped) doggie sitter on top of unexpected extra hours at work. With dad & brother in China for 2 weeks, my fiance & I have been checking in on the house 2-3 times a day. Unbeknown to us, the dog was barking...all day. The little terror was always quiet as a mouse when ever we arrived, I can only imagine she heard us coming and stopped! A neighbour finally called as they were worried something had happened to dad. I, just like the next person, hate barking dogs, but the thing is, the owners probably just don't know its happening. I wish someone had of said something before it had gone on for 6 whole days! I sincerely apologise to all neighbours of barking dogs, its horrible!

So, I've been juggling work & dog sitting since Wednesday. Mistakenly I thought I could leave her alone for 3 hours yesterday...WRONG!... came home to a note on the front door...

Still had to go to work that night though, and with no where else to take her or anyone to look after her at such short notice, to work she came. She did well, no barking... but alot of pacing the parking lot... dog pee in the car is not what I needed!

Amidst the juggling, Fiance also boarded a plane to Tasmania, requiring a 4.30am drive in (dog came too of course) after an 11pm finish the night before and a ahead of a 10pm finish that night. 'When it rains it pours!'

A beautiful surprise came Thursday though when the love of my life sent a huge bunch of gorgeous flowers to keep me going and 'just because'.






And here we are, finally! Its Friday and what a day already! The fun run kicked off at 7am and I was so excited to be join by the beautiful Julie and Jordana, who had even made their own shirts! We stuck together as a team and finished in about 30mins. No lows or highs!

Old School: Made a shirt with an Iron-on transfer last night.

Run belt ready: Blood meter, strips, pricker, jellybeans, phone & car key

With fellow T1D Jordana and lovely mum Julie

Found another T1 at the finish line, he'd missed the start of the run!

Almost the same as when I started! Very happy, but starting to feel it was going to drop...quick.

Fun run over, time to pick up Bella, a skinny cap & a treat.

The treat! A naughty French Pastry.

Arriving home, a beautiful rainbow appeared! A perfect start to the day.

Check out what runs are coming up next, there's always room for more!
