Although we are miles apart, If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can....

So a strong week for the running playa, I am on track and currently at 36kilometres for the week which I am pretty haps about. If I had the time I would've liked to achieved more however I am most certainly not a lady of leisure, I'm a full time hustler and there is work to be done. Anyway this past week I have been thinking about signing up for a run however I wasn't too sure where I was going to be in the next few months so hadn't committed however now I'm going to be around South for a few more months I signed up for the Bupa Great South Run. Now I know I can run a 5K but what I want to do is set a really strong and fast time to train towards and then smash it on the day. 

So I didn't find it hard to think of a charity I wanted to raise money for, 2 years ago one of my best playas Jen was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, which is cancer of the lymphatic System and the teenage cancer trust really supported her through this time. I can't express to you all what an amazing and strong person my friend is, we were in our second year at uni and living it up when the bombshell hit, I think anyone else would've hit rock bottom, quit university, gone home and wallowed but not Jen. Throughout the months of Chemotherapy she remained studying with us, came out dancing and throwing her wigs off at every chance in the clubs, styled her outfits like amber rose truly rocking the cancer chic look and even the saddest times when we would be led in her bed she would still manage to crack a joke about having cancer and put a smile on our faces. Jen most definitely saw all the positives in the horrible situation, her braveness was inspiring to us all and in all honesty even though it was one of the toughest times those months we also had some of the best times. There were evenings out in bournemouth eating ice creams, BBQs with all the pals, trips to the wig shop to choose her newest look, a big night out in Eastbourne singing ''Ain't no mountain high enough'' as we arrived at Petes flat, gym sessions wearing turbans, cancer parties where we all shaved bits of our hair, Jens very own ''How to dress a shaved head'' days including a great mini me inspired outfit and then the best day of them all, the all clear. You should all have a read of Jens blog that she wrote during her time in the Cancer Crew (again a funny joke she made up) as it will probably give you a better insight to her journey and inspiring nature than I have ...http://fromjennifer-withlove.tumblr.com/ and then go donate some money and sponsor me to do this run playas!!



2011 playinnnnn ( I miss this G)




I had to whack a tune on here and theres so many that make me think of Jen, she once beat me on Rapstar playing 'Juicy' and I have never lived it down however I think this track really reminds me of my lovely pal so here it is, enjoy and remember as Jen would say " Wherever you go, no matter the 

weather, always bring your own sunshine.''
