Should I be proud or embarassed?
Inspired by a link on my friend's blog I did the nerdtest. He only got 99%, probably because he did an accountancy degree...

preparación para mi clase
Ahora, describo la ciudad de Granada.
Granada es en la provincia de Andalucia, a lado de las sierras nevadas. La clima es bonita. En invierno las temperatures son frios pero en verano las temeratures hay calor, treintaytres grados. El símbolo de la ciudad es la granada, la fruta llamó 'pomegranate' en la lengua inglesa.
Granada es una ciudad muy bonita y antigua. Tiene la famosa Alhambra. En el siglo catorce el rey moro 'Mohammed quinto' construyó la alhambra, un palacio y fortaleza. Alhambra es muy bonita, hay jardines y fuentes pero es muy apretado con los turistas. En en siglo quince los reyes católicos conquistaron los moros, y todo la gente convirtió a la religion católica o fue a otros países. Muchos de los edificios moros fueron destruidos, pero un famoso edificio 'el Bañuelo' o 'los baños árabes' sobrevivieron.
Granada es menos grande que Madrid, pero es más bonita y simpática. Me gusta mucho comer en las churrerías, como los churros y chocolate, uno desayuno tradicional.

Martes. Día dos, semana cuatro
Sábado mi marido y yo corramos, por 6 km. Pero, ahora tengo dos ampollas y un otro herida porque mi brasier rozó.
Sábado:
Distancia: 6 km
Ruta: A lado del río Mersey
Tiempo : 48min
Mañana por la mañana correré. Una ruta pequeña, con curitas para mi heridas.
No tengo tiempo libre. Tengo trabajo muy complicado, y estudiando español no es fácil.

Jueves. Día cuatro, semana tres
Miércoles monté a caballo, se llama Lizzie. Lizzie es muy alta y guapa, pero no es muy melosilla. Intentó morder a mi mano.
En tres semanas, mi madre y yo vamos a viajar a 'Lake District' para dos días. Iremos a la playa y un escuela equestrian. Mi madre es más hábil con caballos como yo.

Dos pájaros con una piedra
Yo estudiaba español para 18 meses, pero no lo hablo bien. En el futuro, escribiré mi blog en español para practicar.
Sabado:
Distancia: 5.77km
Ruta: Por Decathlon
Tiempo: 49.55. Pero paré para comprar bolsitas de té.
Lunes:
Distancia: 3km
Ruta: gimnasio
Tiempo: 30.
No me gusta correr en el gimnasio porque el aire tiene calor y tiene sabor segunda mano.
¡Tengo una ampolla! Mañana y Miércoles no voy a correr. Necesito descansar.

Day 2, Week 2
Very bad run yesterday - I couldn't find my heart rate monitor so felt all out of control during the run, and the cold air really made me struggle. At least I got out and ran though (I guess) even if it was only 3.5K.
I've decided to change riding schools - my old one was getting really greedy on the costs and the lessons weren't teaching me anything. I've found somewhere that can do me lunchtime private lessons for £14. Fantastic! I was spending that for a group lesson with 3 other people.

Day 7, Week 1
Gaaaah! Now I've got cold. Busiest week at work for ages coming up and I'm all sniffly and coughy today. Growl.
I'm going horseriding this afternoon so hopefully some fresh air will do me good.

Day 4, Week one
A feeble attempt at going to the gym today. I must have been asleep when I packed my gym back as I had put in my superwarm long sleeved top, the wrong running tights and odd socks.
I did about 20 minutes on the treadmill (1.5 miles) and 20 minutes on the cross trainer. So not a total failure, but nothing to write home about.
I also tested out a new sports bra, a Royce High Impact bra. Not good at all, I didn't see myself running, but I could feel my entire chest region bouncing around - when I watched myself on the cross trainer there was a LOT of movement. So that's a bra I won't be wearing for anything high impact. Now I'm struggling to find another bra in the right size - I'm one cup size too large for Shock Absorbers, perhaps I should just try and squash them in?

Day 2, Week 1
Distance :4.2K
Route : A run around the playing fields, and then onto the running track
Time : 32.40. Though there was a few minutes of faffing getting Groundskeeper Willie to let me into the running track.
Music: Goldfrapp - Supernature
The track was in a mess, the storms of the other week has caused a couple of trees to fall down, blocking a quarter of the track. So I ended up doing there and backs rather than laps. I did some half hearted speed training as well - some short bursts of extra fast running, followed by an even slower than usual jog while my heart rate settled down.
Tomorrow is a rest day. Hurrah!

Day 1 Week 1
Distance :4.1K
Route : Stretford Loop
Time : 29:35
Music: Same as last time. Electro house fits my pace very well, if I listen to anything with more beats per minute I nearly die!
Something I have noticed is that I find this mostly flat route very hard going. All I can think is that it's due to the concrete paving slabs that I'm running for most of the journey, all my other routes are mostly tarmac paths and they seem to be a bit more springy. I think I might try training on the local athletics track if I can persuade the local Groundskeeper Wullie to let me in.
Hmm.. other things going on in my life - I finally went out and brought a new mattress, so I'm no longer sleeping in my 'dent' which was giving me a bad back. It's a perfect example of my procrastination, I've had the money saved up for a new mattress for over a year, but I've only just gone to IKEA to buy a new one.

Running..
So another January and once again I've got a running target. This year I've entered the Manchester 10K on the 20th May. So once again I'm trying to learn to run an additional 5K (my furthest run so far has been 5K).
This does mean that the blog might get a bit boring as I use it to track my progress..
Run today
Distance 5.1 K
Route: Junction 1
Elapsed Time: 44:23
Music: http://www.goodgreef.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64650&highlight=flintoff
On a more personal note, I drove last weekend to Scotland on the A68. I stopped at Carter Bar border crossing and persuaded someone to take my photo in front of the sign for Scotland. It's a family tradition really, my grandad must have photos of my mam and myself stood next to the border signs for every year we went to Scotland on holiday.They almost are like height charts, some people have notches in their door frames, my family has photos at Carter Bar.
