alright, flattery has done it. To those nice people who stay up late and watch This Week. I’m growing my hair.

does it make any difference to what I say? Probably not, but you know people apparently only take in 20% of what you say on TV. The other 80% is taken up with noting hair, fashion, etc etc.

Well I managed the monster that is the London Marathon and it wasn’t as bad as all that…frankly it was the training that was the nightmare. I suggest anyone undertaking a similar task makes sure you can DO all the training.  Then, its a breeze! Particularly as the London Marathon involves running past Wombles, people wearing loo seats, Masai warriors etc. Takes your mind off the pain in your legs somewhat. For an indepth look you could go to www.thetimes.co.uk and check out my account….with Mr Millard….who was overtaken at Mile 20 by yours truly….

btw have definitely decided to GROW my hair. What a slog. Grow it, cut it off, regret it, spend the next three years growing it back.

Hi there! If only life was always like this…

carb loading, occasionally running round the parke, nothing major. Of course this is just preparation for the mighty 26.2 on April 13. I’m so nervous!

Ha ha! Ooh the power of the press….

Only the trouble is that the scamps have STILL got hold of the domain name. Shall I continue to sue them?

Just got back from doing the Reading Half Marathon , before this highly exhausting experience.

Some bloke came up to us in the queue by the Portaloos and said “Are you Mr and Mrs Millard”, to which Pip and I said “yeah”…and he then said “is this one of your famous competetive moments,” to which we said “Yeah”. I then proceeded to overtake Mr M (he he) - he’s still cheesed off about it. Myra Hindley fright wig, eh? I’ll have you know my hair was last cut by Nicky Clarke, and if that isn’t a giant name drop what is?

Well, not really. Indeed, I’ve been a bit sniffy about blogs in the past. You have to forgive me. I grew up in the era of platform boots the FIRST time round. Anyway, I’ve swapped trendy footgear for trainers right now as I am in the depths of marathon training which is GRIM.. Never, never again, I chant to myself as I speed around the delightful terrain of Islington in the early hours of the morning. Never again. If youd’ like to sponsor me - I’m running for Help the Hospices - please do You can sponsor me on my own http://www.justgiving.com/rosiemillardRosie Millard page on justgiving  - but frankly I am NOT going to become one of these running obsessives. I’m obsessive about quite a few other things, however. What are those, I hear you all cry…well… being a perfect parent…being a GOOD writer… learning how to play the piano…getting on with my parents…not arguing too much with Mr Millard…the list COULD go on, but won’t as I now have to put my various offspring to bed. Later!
