So here we are, one week on, and I have just about recovered from the Charity Walk! The MK Midnight Moo took place last Saturday 18th July - 10 miles around Milton Keynes - and I am very proud to let you all know that I completed it in 3hrs 28mins!

The fastest time was 2hrs 45mins, so I am extremely pleased that we were only 45mins behind. Never in my wildest dreams did I even think I would finish, let alone do it that quickly.

Sunday was filled with extreme pain... by Monday I could at least hobble around the house! The only reminder of it now is a rather horrid looking blood blister on the bottom of my foot. In fact, the memory has faded so quickly, I have pretty much forgotten the pain and signed myself up to do it again next year!

My goal for next year is to do it in 3 hours, and to not look like a beetroot at the end of it!

A huge thank you to those people who sponsored me... I raised an impressive £174! The night as a whole raised around £100,000 for Willen Hospice, which is fantastic.

Speaking of charity events, whilst I was catching up on sleep the day after the Midnight Moo, my friend Ally from Teeny Munchkins was doing the Race for Life. Spurred on by personal reasons, she completed the course in an amazing 37 minutes! She was so pleased with herself that she came home and signed up straight away for the 10k run later this year. If you would like to sponsor her, you can do so here
