2017 PART THIRTY EIGHT 16/09 -- 22/09 [1st ParkRun]

Ok get through this week and paid plus office move to 2nd floor. At least still employed and it's been a good week in many ways which is about time. First of all, Saturday morning I was up bright and early and went off to complete my first official Park Run. (https://www.parkrun.com)

Was a great start to the day, was initially a little apprehensive about it and whether I would struggle cos I am that unfit, but I DID do it and felt great afterwards although a little dizzy but that might be the lack of fitness and needing to dehydrate too. Feel wonderful, it's a small thing for some people who do it every week but for me it was something I wanted to do, prove to myself that I can do it and set a goal to do it again.

Bumped into a good friend Alison on the way back as I stopped off in Tesco to pick up some supplies. Nice to see her and we should sort out a night out or something so will contact Julia once she has her first week of new job out of the way. 

Then a surprise, I received an email to tell me that I had won 3rd prize in the Dons Draw run by AFC Wimbledon. This is the first time I ever won anything or even got close which was nice as I have been paying into it for fifteen years. The £250 isn't exactly a lotto win but it will certainly help me through next month while the changeover at work takes place. Before too long we will realise Christmas is on the way, apparently it's less than 100 days now, while it's not been my favourite time of year I intend to try a bit harder to get through it, and maybe even enjoy it if I can. Buying a couple of things for myself will be most welcome, am in the market for a new iPad style tablet device as my old one gave up the other week. Either that or a new phone as I use rather older models but slightly reluctant to spend tons on that as I hardly use them. 



We are also organising a night out on 1 December with old school friends which is usually a good night out so I shall try and have Friday off to go enjoy the entire day.
