Hi folks - another week has gone by - I just realised its Weds and I haven't written a blog yet. Just about time before I pack up for the weekend.... Life is, indeed, as crazy as ever and this week its been 9pm before I have sat down most nights. Last week was the usual running - in fact that is all I am doing really - running at the moment - the weather has been so lovely - I do need to get back to the gym but there will be plenty of time in the summer when its too hot to go outside... I didnt do much last Weds - went to look at some houses on the bid list - which once again I didnt get - so have to keep trying - over 2 years now in temporary accommodation - it really is rubbish... Thursday I spent racing around - went to meet Louise - my PAWS colleague who is now back in Saudi, albeit temporarily maybe - but she isn't sure! It was good to catch up, then beauty shop, then lunch with Anthea, then ready for the US consulate. It was a good night at the consulate - havent been up there for a while and all the more interesting with me not drinking (due to my race the following morning) - very entertaining!!! Friday saw me run the half marathon as a relay with 4 of my friends - we got a silver medal and did it in 2 hours 3 mins so not bad going. I managed my 2 miles in 19 minutes!!! So we did really well!!

Had a full English breakfast afterwards, kindly cooked by Karen and then went for a kip - I had been up since 5.30am and was exhausted!!! Later I met up with a friend and cooked dinner and just chilled with a DVD...

This week has been manic - Saturday I had to go to the KLM office to pick up the contract and ticket for PAWS, then I ran 3 miles. Sunday I taught - my last Sunday class is next week. I am now taking over from Andy so will be teaching at 4.45pm on a Saturday and Monday. The times are loads better but do conflict with the running club, so I will need to run still at some point to keep up my training! I had 2 meetings on Monday (after running 3 miles!) - a dive meeting and then a PAWS meeting and last night a race night meeting (after running 3 miles!) to sort out who is doing what at the charity event tonight! I am a bit stressed about tonight and hope it runs smoothly!!!

So, another busy one. Folk keep asking me to do personal training - talking of which, I have finally set my exam date for 20th May - the company I train with were due to come to Bahrain to do some courses, but aren't now, so its another trip to Dubai for me in May!

So, I have the PAWS race night tonight and then I am off to Bahrain tomorrow for a 50th birthday party - but I have the spa first which I think I will need after the stress of organising tonight!!

Anyway, over and out from me.

Keep in touch as always..
