Seven Random Facts

I've been thinking about the best sorts of posts to start with on my blog and have been drawing a blank! I think I'm just going to have to take a deep breath and go for it...

What better way than with some raaaandom facts. Here goes:

#1
I can't get enough porridge. Porridge with dried fruit, fresh fruit, seeds and nuts, honey and cinnamon or vanilla... you name it, I'll eat it! I must admit that I've caved a couple of times in the last few weeks and actually had two lots in one day. This makes me verrrrry guilty... but it's not like it's horrifically unhealthy or anything! (That's how I like to justify it anyway). But seriously, I think the onset of winter just makes me crave the warm gooey comfort of good old fashioned oats. Mmmm

(The porridge in this picture is a little runny for my liking and I'd definitely have more banana than that but I was struggling to find a decent picture... Might have to get on the porridge photography - if I can hold back long enough to take a photo!)


#2
I want to live in America, at least for a year I reckon. I'm not 100% sure why or where but I just reeeeally want to experience it.


#3
I ran a half marathon in March. Before last September I'd been running a grand total of 5 times in my whole life. Somehow my house mate convinced me that entering a half marathon was a good idea - to be fair I should give her massive credit for this as I have absolutely no idea how she managed. In the end though, I am soooooo glad she did. On 10th March 2013 we ran the Milton Keynes half marathon in 2 hours 14 minutes and I honestly think I am more proud of this than most other things in my life. It also turned me into a 'runner' and is partly the reason I've got really into this whole healthy living business. So thank you mad house mate!

#4
I'm half Indian. Lots of people ask so thought I might as well get it out there from the start haha. I've been asked if I'm Spanish quite a few times which I find quite funny, but nope. My dad is Indian (although he's never lived there) and my mum is British and I've lived in England my whole life.


#5
I'm at uni studying maths and yes it is hard and yes I do sometimes think I'm crazy for doing it! However, I do love the satisfaction of solving problems and the complete out-there-ness of it all.

#6
I haven't eaten chocolate since the end of September. I enjoy the challenge of not eating it (I've done it before for like 3 months I think it was) and I've decided it's never worth the guilt I feel after eating it anyway. I know a lot of other foods aren't either, but I had to start somewhere. It's really annoying having to explain to people - I think I might just start saying I don't like it?


#7
I had never had cramp until this summer when I got it in my foot whilst swimming. I didn't get what all the fuss was at all... I understand slightly better now, although I haven't had it since and I'm not even completely certain it was cramp seeing as I don't know what cramp feels like! Haha confusing


So there we have it. Seven sort of random facts but sort of introductory facts about me.

Questions or comments are more than welcome :)
