All Out Bling Fling...

Hi folks...oops I've done it again....opened my mouth and put my two feet right in it...seemed a good idea at the time but I've signed on the dotted line so no going back now...it's official...I'm ditching my usual lifestyle...either lounging couch potato style on the sofa or standing around in the cubbyhole all day and taking part in this year's Bling Fling Charity Walk...
a 10K stroll along the old Deeside Railway Line in aid of 2 wonderful charities...
ARCHWAY
BREAST CANCER RESEARCH AND CARE AT ARI
followed by the party to end all parties at the Winter Gardens Duthie Park and once my registration is confirmed I'll be after your money...but will I make it back in one piece...time to think POSITIVE thoughts...a chance to kill 2 birds with one stone...get fit and raise some money for charity at the same time and you might be thinking it will be a piece of cake for this "3 times a day" dog walker but I'm not leaving anything to chance...it's time to up the ante and get in some serious training...don't think my buddies from The Papeterie will be too happy if they have to give me a piggy-back back home and little does The Furry Boy know the new regime starts today...a fast pace power walking 2KM hike awaits...his usual sniff every blade of grass pootling along stopping at every lamp post antics will not be tolerated...the cubbyhole crew could both be doing with ditching the old Teletubbie tummies and getting those old legs pumping.
But I also need to concentrate on what to wear apart from the obligatory tiara and trainers so I'm on the hunt for the blingiest-flingiest-pinkiest-sparkliest most outrageous outfit ever...this old crafty girl like you've never seen her before and I know just the folks to help out...the Friday girls...I'm sure between us we'll have some rave from the grave outfits in our wardrobes which will fit the bill.
See you all tomorrow to share our afternoon of Steam Punk Fun
Hugs Kath xxx

  9. Hi Kath, well done you and all the folk who do these fantastic things year after year for many charities, not sure how many of them would survive without the huge amounts of money they manage to raise. Can't wait to see the outfit!!! Trish

  10. Well done for signing up for this and even thinking of training. Please let me know how you cure Buddy of sniffing every blade of grass so I can use your strategies.
    Have fun, Jan

  11. I'm sure you can manage 10k Kath - us dog walkers are pretty fit. Just take it at a steady pace and you'll be fine. Can't wait to see your "get up" - make sure you post lots of pics. X
