Something new

Howdy how has everyone been?

I did something new on the weekend. Mum signed me up for a triathlon a while back, but then they went and postponed it for a month and we no longer wanted to do a triathlon in May (being that it's freezing in the mornings!) so we switched to a duathlon. Now this was an excellent plan and you'd think I'd train for it because duathlons are easier to train for, just got to bike and swim. But I still couldn't. I guess it's the rebelling thing, because I have to do it I don't want to!

Anyway so come Sunday - duathlon day I was really dreading it and feeling very guilty for not training. But I did it anyway, and I rocked. It felt like a really good day, I managed to push myself for the whole hour it took me and I'm really pleased I can push myself for that long and not die. So that was really fun. It was nice not to have to deal with the whole wet togs aspect of triathlons!

Other news. Well I'm still engaged, that's a good sign! Loving it too! Wedding plans... hmmm not for some time. I guess now would be the time to publicise my other big news now that it's pretty official. That is that Darren and I are moving to Doncaster for a year and a half. This is through my work, I'm very excited about this! I'll almost be keeping my normal job but might have to do a bit more tricky things, and a bit more analysis stuff. Soooooo this means unless we get married in Doncaster, which we won't, we're not getting married till we get back. At this stage we're planning on picking the date before we leave and maybe booking the venues... and of course I've started looking at dresses, as I found it written more than once, that it's never too early to start looking for the perfect dress.

Also my cousin Kirsty is getting married too! That is so exciting! She's getting married before me which is good otherwise I'd die of impatience. So everyone who's worried about missing me tons I'm coming back for Kirsty's wedding so you can see me then!

Ok yay for me doing the duathlon.

I'm a bridesmaid so I have to go back :P As far as I knew right from the outset it was planned for when I was still in the uk so I was always going to have to come back, but even if there was a set date or an approximate date I wouldn't tell you!
