Loved your blogging Carole , very funny. Gary- Craig and I love seeing pictures of Luca. I'd be bored if they were pictures of random babies you were bestowing upon us, but love seeing little Luca (Cade and Braeden too). Dad- yes, if you could change the tickets to our name we would love to come up.

Yesterday as the rest of the UK was being battered by wind and rain, we had a really nice day in Cornwall. As Craig has already mentioned I tried to go for a short run yesterday, but it still hurts too much. I've been stretching like a good 'un, taking every opportunity. I stretch brushing my teeth, whilst watching TV etc... but no relief as yet.

I bought a Pilates DVD from eBAY for my core strenghtening exercises. I'm still waiting for it to arrive, but I've started doing exercises at home. Craig is enjoying his new role as sado-masochistic exercise buddy. He's been showing me the exercises he used to do when he was boxing. The worst of which involve me lying on my back on the floor, holding onto Craig's feet (he's standing above my head). I lift my legs up in the direction of his chin and he then throws them down to the ground. I've to stop them and lift them back to the starting position before they hit the ground. Ouch! I think I could be developing a six pack, except it's well hidden underneath a big, soft squishy pillow of fat!

Ok, maybe I'm not there yet, but I did manage three sit ups yesterday.... Not bad eh!

I am quite frustrated not being able to run now. That's me had 4 weeks off. On my way to the supermarket this morning I passed a load of my running buddies doing the last race of the season. It was snowing (yes, we've had snow in Cornwall today!) but I was really jealous of their little red faces. I felt like I was in one of them movies, when it's all snowy outside and a wee scavenger looks through the snow framed window of a house and sees a family of people all warm and cosy inside happily eating away at their Christmas dinner!! Except, it was them out in the freezing snow and I was in my warm car... Hmm...

Talking about the snow, it's an ongoing joke down here that at the slightest hint of snow, Cornwall goes into shut down. And funnily enough, the A30, the main road in Cornwall was shut this morning. I wonder if it was the smattering of snow that lead to the closure..? Surely not..?
