Another birthday, another card to make

It's my dads birthday tomorrow and my New Years resolution was that I wouldn't buy any cards this year, I would make them instead. Now this one isn't personally my kinda card but I'm hoping my dad likes it! I was trying to play on him getting 122 runs the other week, the stumps are 1 and the two men are meant to roughly become the 2's...oh well the thought was there!

Moving on from the card, today I went for a 3 mile run, which I haven't done since Isle of Scilly, as I wanted to rest my knee which was really playing up. Felt brilliant at first, took it at a nice pace, I did tackle quite a steep hill, still felt great but then when I hit the two mile mark my knee started to protest so I made my way home and skipped the mini boot camp I had planned. so frustrating that 27mins of running and now I feel like I'm back to square one! As the day went on my knee got worse and now it hurts to go up and down my stairs. Looks like I may have to see someone about it but its annoying that I have to take time of work for my GP to just turn around and say I have to rest it. So I might just rest it for a month, go back to boxing and toning work for the time being. Sad as I love my running :o(

On a brighter note had a wonderful day today, after run I spent until 3:30 in the garden, reading and snoozing. Na came and visited for a few hours and we had a good catch up. Then mum and I went to Southampton and I got myself a new summer hat (a trilby I think it's called), some gym cut off trousers and a nice summer Tshirt. Then we came back to Winch and went out to dinner at zizzi's, where I had the butternut squash salad - amazing!! I nearly made it my blip. Trying to make an effort to have more vegetarian meals in my diet, as I do eat an awful lot of meat.

Hope you've all enjoyed the beautiful sunny day today x
