Challenges Ahead

I've got an interesting week on the horizon. WI is on Thursday which should be fine, but next week might be a bit interesting. I enjoy my birthday. Even though I shall be a year closer to 30, I will be celebrating. So dinner on Sunday with friends (Afghan place, so I should be able to pick a good option), then Monday lunch we're going to Fifteen (Jamie Oliver's restaurant) with my immediate family. (It's a public holiday on Monday) Fingers crossed I can do enough exercise to counteract the food I will be eating!

We made the baseball finals, so we have a game this weekend. Still waiting to find out where we'll be playing, but it will be hard fought either way. We can beat them. Next round here we come!

I'm also doing my first fun run on Sunday - 3k Beat the Boat Fun Run for Stroke research. It has special meaning to me. My father died as a result of a stroke at 49, his mother died at 76 after many strokes and his father is now in a nursing home following a stroke. My uncle (Dad's brother) had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) which can be a precursor to a stroke. So with a strong family history one might say I have a bit of self interest in making money for stroke research! Certainly in losing weight and getting fitter.

So an interesting week ahead following more trips for work. I'm still promising the photo from the wedding. I've now lost the charger for the camera and it's dead. As soon as I find the silly thing I'll put the photo on here!
