A life less ordinary

So just when I start to worry that my blogs are becoming boring that I don't have much to write about anymore....... I have a week that just seemed to get better & better!

Started off badly. A shoulder injury that doesn't seem to be healing. It's still niggling after a month. One bad rep is all it took.

But enough negativity......

A friends was being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live...the producers asked for another few Ostomists to be on the show. I volunteered and was invited to call in :)

Wow what an experience!! If you didn't catch it here is the link below (scroll forward to time stamp in the link)

Listen to my friend Sarah. Now she
INSPIRATIONAL!!

Radio 5 Live Interview - 2 hours 42 min

As if this wasn't enough I also received an email that my new Cycle at Work code had been approved. Meaning I was able to go pick up my new Specialized Sport Road bike!  This also means Im one step closer to my first Triathlon!!!

I have posted before you dont find the time to train, you make the time to train. Well with 2 people in our household trying to achieve this isnt always possible!  So I decided rather than buy a treadmill Id invest in a road bike that I can use a turbo trainer at home when I cant get out (or the British weather isnt great!)

Then just when things leveled off...I receive an email inviting me to a a 2nd stage Ninja Warrior UK audition!

Never heard of Ninja Warrior?  It's an ITV Saturday night prime time TV show! I know right! Check out the link
This guy SMASHED the course! I wish I was half the athlete he is!!

Ninja Warrior UK season 1 course

Could you imagine if I made the cut? I'd NEVER finish the course but could you imagine the opportunity to raise awareness for Bowel Cancer and Ostomists everywhere!

Someone who has faced cancer facing the Ninja Warrior course! The tag lines Al. Ostomy write themselves!

PLUS I have another opportunity to raise awareness. Question is now...how am I going to fit it all in!!!!
