Inspiration!

Hey there all you people cosily sitting in a warm place - I'm probably out in the freezing conditions running as you read this.... HA ok so probably not but there is a small chance the 2 events may coincide! Training has not been going to plan recently due to the ice I've been avoiding outdoors like the plague - mum slipped over in B&Q car park and now has a bruise extending the length of her entire leg :O had to go to A&E and everything - thought it was a broken hip but lucky for us not this time! Don't quite fancy hitting the ground like a sack of potatoes and so have not been on the pavements which I am sure will come back to haunt me in the week to come. Spent last night at the National TV Awards which considering I spent all day moaning and stressing about having to find an outfit and not being bothered to go - were actually fantastic! Saw loads of stars (as well of loads of people I have never even heard of in my whole life...) sadly no Miranda, Sir David or Stephen Fry but some of the highlights  - Alan Davies, Joanna Lumley, cast of Mrs Browns Boys and of course the lovely Merlin lads. <3 Sophie and I were pretty tired after having to sit still and scream and wooo for 2 hours (bloody ITV and their constant ad breaks!) so had to resort to conserving our shrieks for our fave shows only. Didn't meet any stars but the whole evening seeing deserving (mostly) people receiving awards for their hard work was inspiring and although I'm not doing anything near as exciting as being a magician or having my own comedy show I still have a goal to work towards and the marathon will be an achievement and at the end I'll probably be happier than all of the NTA winners put together! Got back in the gym today and did 40 minutes continuous workout 6 miles on the crosstrainer and another mile on the treadmill - doesn't sound much but I'm happy with that progress! Finally got some posters printed too, just need to stick them up now. Started a new trend with the fundraising inviting friends to use me as a servant (not in an inappropriate manner!) and paying me a couple of quid each time for a lift somewhere or some kind of favour, the first being today I took Anna shopping and she gave me £5 so thanks to her for her continued support and also the latest donors Alessandro, Hannah and Zozo - it means so much to me so thanks so much all of you! Current amount at £349...... £1750 watch out we're coming to get you! As always if you feel a sudden urge of generosity hit the donate now button to link to my fundraising page! Thanks again for everyone who's keeping me motivated! Stay warm and safe guys, lots of love Charlotte xxxx
