Merry Christmas!

Posted: 23/12/11

I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy, healthy and fun Christmas! I am very excited this year about Christmas. My family and I are spending it down in London. We’re off to see Jersey Boys tomorrow afternoon, which I hear is amazing! We’re then off to Gordon Ramsey’s Restaurant, Maze, for Christmas lunch. The menu looks beyond divine! Mum and I have also planned out our Boxing Day, 9am Selfridges – SALE! I really can’t wait!

This week has been a pretty busy one. I’ve had lots of things to do and sort around my new house. It’s scary how time consuming some things are! I have managed to fit my training around everything, which is always a bonus. It does mean I don’t get to sit down until bed time. But do you know what? I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it!

Also this week I’ve been attending one of my close friends fitness classes. BOUNCE is the name of the class, they are based here in Loughborough and ran by onesizeight fitness. As I mentioned in my ‘Loves Section’, I’ve loved the classes and have really benefitted from them! I was pretty sore after the circuit class on Wednesday night! I’d been worked very hard, which is of course a good thing! Check Becky’s website out to see how you get involved, I thoroughly recommend trying a class! It’s addictive. www.beckysaysbounce.com.

On Tuesday I spent the afternoon filming for Espresso Learning and Channel Four Learning. I had a fun afternoon with the crew, even though it was pretty chilly. But I’m excited to see the footage once it’s all put together. It’s fantastic to see Triathlon being included in children’s education programmes.

This week  the Nicole De Carle 2012 calendar was released. A few months ago, a group of Olympic athletes including myself met down in London to shoot the shots for this charity calendar. The charity is Wellbeing of Women which I think is a fantastic cause. I had great fun doing the calendar, it was something different for sure. You can buy the calendar here. 

Happy Christmas to all my sponsors too, who without, I do not know what I’d do. I’m one lucky lady and cannot express how grateful I am that all my sponsors have stuck by me this year when things didn’t go so great.

Right, time to wrap up in my waterproofs and head for my second run of the day.

Only 11 days left in the cold for me! Not to rub it in or anything!
