Ups

+ I'm finally feeling better after my stupid dental operation 2 weeks ago, went for my first run in ages today yay!

+ Me and Alex have booked 3 nights in York next week for a little getaway - the hotel has an outdoor pool so fingers crossed for some sun.

+ My amazing, wonderful and extremely talented fiance got his first graduate job! Relieved is not the word. We now know we can pay the bills, rent etc and he can support me throughout my final year at uni. Must not let this go to my head though - resisting a huge shopping trip to celebrate!

+ Since he's got this fancy new job, Alex has decided to learn to drive finally and once he has passed we're going to be getting a car! So excited for road trips with my boy :)


Downs

- It's exactly 2 weeks til I'm running my first 10k race... with my dental operation stopping me from training for 2 weeks I feel like my fitness has gone back to how it was before I started running :( Fingers crossed 2 weeks of intensive training will see me atleast being able to finish the race! Who cares about times..

- I feel like the house is so dirty at the moment (you probably don't need to know this). It really needs a deep clean so that's what this week is going to be about - fun fun. 

Happy Sunday!
