Christmas! :D

Ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas! I am blogging now from my new iPod! Cool right! I have just downloaded a blogger app such allows me to look at my blog and blog, technology is amazing isn't it? I got wonderful presents and have just had a nice big Christmas dinner, yum! My grandparents are down and we are just trying to set up hungry hippos for my 2 year old brother Henry, why can't things just come already together instead of coming in bits and pieces, it is just so stressful! I am enjoying my break off although I think I have been swimming well recently. I will be back training soon and hard in preparation for the next open meet, which I am feeling quite confident about. Well I am of to play a game of hungry hippos, so merry Christmas and a happy new year! Xxx

Christmassssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody! Wow it is only 4 more sleeps till christmas how exciting is that! I have just got back from school and am now getting ready to travel up to Peterborough where we are staying at my Aunt Tracey&Uncle Pete's house is. Me, my brother and my dad are then going to QPR vs Newcastle away tomorrow morning, my mum is going to drop us off at the train station and we are getting the train to Newcastle then our Grandad is going to pick us up from the train station and take us back to my Grandma&Grandad's house where we are having breakfast and then we are going to the match and going straight back to my aunt&uncle's house and then the next day we are going home. I am very excited and can't wait! We  are spending christmas at home this year but we are having relatives coming and seeing us aswell so that will be really fun. Anyway moving on to swimming, recently I have been training really hard. I am quite thankful of the nice big  christmas break and I am going to go back training harder and harder in preparation for Bexley Open Meet which is fast approaching.
Well so long my friends I wish a very merry christmas and a happy new year and I will be back again after the holidays!

Christmas Cracker

Hello! I am back from swimming all day at the Christmas Cracker Open Meet. I have been there all weekend, and I got some Pb's!!!!! I am really happy and now I am only 1 second off my 50m Breastroke! I did not Pb on my 50m backstroke, but my coach said that it was one of the best races he has seen me swim. He said my start,turn and finish were really good and so was my technique, so I am really happy. My bestfriend Tyra got her county time on Saturday and so did my friend George. I am really happy for them and I am not bothered about my county time because I know that my time will come and I am just going to train hard in preparation for Bexley. I am really happy that I am finally getting Pbs again. Also  after my 200m breastroke I went over to my coach Pete and he told me to watch a swimmer he used to coach. Her name was Laura Manzolini(not sure about the second game). He found her when she was 8 years old and she is amazingly fast, she is absolutely amazing, her 100m breastroke time is 1.15! I mean thats only 2 seconds slower than my 100m frontcrawl time(which I Pbd in today)!
Basically he said that her techinique(which is really good) is what my technique should be like and that I have the same build as her and that he says no reason why I cant do that technique. So today in my 50m breast I did that technique and it certainly seemed to work! I will be swimming in the morning aswell, its gonna be hard but I have to do it! So until next time!

Santa Fun Run!

Hello! Sorry I haven't been blogging recently but the last week has gone so fast! Right so on Sunday I took part with my mum in a 3 mile Santa Fun Run, everybody had to dress up like Santa, it was brilliant and my best friend Evie and her family were there so my mum and Evie's mum ran together and me and Evie ran together. I really loved it and me and Evie had a right natter all the way round. Also as a special treat my dad has payed for me, my mum and my brother to all go and see The X Factor Live Tour!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooooooo excited I can't wait! So back to swimming, last Saturday I had long course training, it was hard especially as it was my first training session back since I have been off with costochondritis, so I found it a little challenging. But I trained hard and I think I did well. Then the next training session was on Sunday after the fun run, my legs were so tired! So I found it hard and I didn't have a very good session. But I was up the next morning and I had a really good session, I led the lane for some of it and I really enjoyed the set and the session went really well. Then that night I had a netball match in the freezing cold! It was not fun because being absolutely frozen is one thing but being absolutely frozen and getting thrashed is another. And then on the way home I got chilblains-I was not very happy. Then I went swimming again this morning and again I had a really good session and I enjoyed the set. I am working really hard in preparation for the Christmas cracker this weekend, I really hope I can get some good PBS, but if I don't I am just going to forget about it and get ready for the next one, I am now going to finish my homework and then I am off to bed, ready to swim again in the morning, so until next time!

Costochondritis. :L

Hello! Well what a lovely day I have had today! It snowed in the night and the bus didn't turn up to take us to school so we all went sledging! It was brilliant, although I missed my jab and really I want to get it over and done with! My friends were unfortunate enough to still be able to go to school, they were very jealous! I went home yesterday from school feeling ill and whenever I breathed in I got a really excruciating pain in my torso, so my mum took me to the doctors and turns out I have Costochondritus, which means I have pulled a muscle around my lung so whenever I breathe in it really hurts, although this is mainly only after or during exercise so I get a week off of sport, which means no swimming!There is an advantage to this because my Dad is in America on a business trip for the whole week so it means we don't have to wake the whole family up just to take me swimming! Although I hope it heals soon so I can get back into training for the next open meet. I am going to forget about the county times, just focus on getting PBS. Well am off to finish homework until next time!

Tired out!

Hello! I have just finished putting up the christmas tree and am going to bed soon as I am really tired! This week I have found quite tough and after long course training yesterday. It was really fun but very hard and tiring. I found it quite difficult and really tiring but I worked really hard and did well, I got out the pool looking like a tomato! Then training today was ok although I had to get out early as I got a sharp pain in my side everytime I breathed. I am going swimming in the morning, so I must get off to bed, everygirl needs her beauty sleep!
