I am leaving europe tomorrow bound for Australia, i cant tell you how excited i am for the flight home.

I have spent the last week of my holiday in spain. It has been so good here the weather has been really hot and the sun has been out, very different to england. Today we leave Spain and head back to my aunties for one more night before we leave for home.
This holiday has been all about laying by the pool and just relaxing, it has been very enjoyable and i think that i am ready to go back to training and get ready for the commonwealh games next year in india.

It was my birthday yesterday on the 19th of september and we went on a sight seeing bus in the distrit of costa del sol in spain, that is where our hotel is, it was really nice and it reminded me alot of monaco.. you will notice as well from the photos that i upload that it is similar. we also went to a mexican restaurant last night for my birthday dinner, i thought what i was ordering was those things that are wraps and you fill them your self, not sure what you call them and you fill them with meat or chicken with a sour cream and sauce. but what we got were similar but they were enchiladas that were already made up for you, we didnt really enjoy them but we didnt mind. We did enjoy our desert with our ice cream and crepes how can you go wrong.

I recieved and email from my coach on my birthday saying happy birthday and that your holidays are almost over, well thats not really what i wanted to hear, but i guess she is my coach and she wants to make sure that i am physically and mentally ready to go back t trainning.

anyway i better get going and start packing to leave spain and go back to london. see ya.
i will upload photos another day the internet at this hotel is really bad sorry.

hello I am now in rome for the second time this year. The reason i cam here again was because i know that kieran really wanted to come to italy, he has always wanted to come here. I was supposed to be running on the 6th of september in a small town in Italy called Rieti about 1.5 hours from Rome and i thought, well, rome isnt far from this town maybe we could catch the train up here for a few days before i run my last major competition. I am obviously not running anymore this season, but we still had this accomodation booked so we still had to come, not that i am complaining i love it here, the people are great the weather is always hot and the food, well do i have to say anymore..

Before i came to Italy i was england with my family. I stayed with my aunty in kent for a couple of days, that is where i usually stay when i am basing myself in england to compete and Then to get out of her hair for a while i went up to North Yorkshire to visit my grandad for three days and that went…. well. The weather was horrble it rained most of the time and on the second day we were there it got down to 9 degrees in the day. The first day after we got there we went for a drive into the town, and we ended up being out for about a 5 drive, can you imagine a 5 hour drive and all you really see is green hills, it was terribly exciting. the second day we were going to go to a theme park which i was looking forward to it but the weather had turned sour. When we arrived we decided not to go in, it was raining and as i said before, it got down to 9 degrees, Kieran and I were waiting for the snow to come hahah, so then grandad thought it would be nice to go for another drive, so we went to a place that i cant rememeber the name of but it is where captain cook sailed off to, to come to australia and again this whole trip took 5 hours. I dont know why, but my grandad loves driving his car everywhere and thinks people love going on 5 hour journeys.

anyway…..
I am now in Italy and loving it, we leave on friday to go back to england for three days, then we are going to spain for a week before we come home on the 21st. We booked with this company that is called thomson and you can get all inclusive holiday which means that you pay for you air fares, your hotel, your food your drinks all in one so when you get there everything is done for you, i hope that it is worth it! ill let you know when i get back..
well i have to go now more things to go and see. talk to you later.
