Hello,<\/p>\n

Since my last blog I\u2019ve finally done something I\u2019ve wanted to do for ages – run a 50km ultramarathon! If you\u2019re not familiar with the term, an \u201cultra\u201d race is anything longer than a marathon, so any event longer than 26.2 miles (50km is just over 31 miles). Some of you might remember the first time I attempted to do this, a couple of years back. It didn\u2019t go very well; \u00a0I only run off-road, so only enter trail races, never road races, which means the terrain is often quite rough, and I managed to fall in a wood just four miles in. \u00a0I hurt myself rather badly, but ran on for 20 miles, when I was \u201cpersuaded\u201d to stop by medics because I was bleeding so much from deep cuts to my hand and leg, and had to head off to A&E.<\/p>\n

I was planning to try again last March but of course that was cancelled due to the first lockdown. But now – I\u2019ve done it, and I didn\u2019t fall over! I did get some bad leg cramps at the 28-mile point but otherwise it was OK (yes, pretty hard at points, but largely\u00a0enjoyable!) and I\u2019m so chuffed to have finally got my hands on that medal. If you follow me on Instagram (@officialjackiekabler) you\u2019ll have seen this little account I wrote after the race, but I know lots of you aren\u2019t on social media so I\u2019ve reproduced it here. This is how it went:<\/p>\n

13.1 miles\/21km: half marathon point – feeling good!
\n20 miles\/32km: legs a teeny bit tired now.
\n26.2 miles\/42km: I\u2019ve run a marathon. I\u2019ve run a marathon and now I have to KEEP RUNNING? WHOSE STUPID IDEA WAS IT TO DO THIS? Oh. Mine.
\n28 miles\/45km: I hate this. I\u2019m hating every minute of this. In fact, I hate running. I AM NEVER RUNNING AGAIN AFTER TODAY.
\n30 miles\/48km: Hmmmm. I might actually be able to do this…
\n31 miles\/50km: YESSSSSSS! I DID IT! Well, that wasn\u2019t so bad, was it? When\u2019s the next one?<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve vowed to stick to shorter distances for the rest of this year, but we will see…!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile at home we\u2019ve been working on the garden for the past two and a bit years since we moved in to our new house. \u00a0It\u2019s definitely taking shape beautifully now but the old patio is rather tired, so that\u2019s next on the list ahead of the good weather (fingers crossed…come on, sunshine!). One way to really give your outside space a facelift is to use accessories, a bit like you would indoors, but I\u2019ve never tried an outdoor rug before. There\u2019s a Kelly Hoppen<\/a> indoor\/outdoor reversible rug Today\u2019s Special Value offer coming up on Wednesday 26th May so I took one home to try out, and I like it! It makes the outdoor space feel quite cosy, even on a dull day. It comes in three colours – Charcoal Neutral, Dark Grey and this one, Beige Cream, and three sizes. And it\u2019s wipe clean, so no worries about spillages, whether it\u2019s in your garden or living room.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Just a couple of other QVC-related things to tell you before I finish. If you love jewellery, and don\u2019t already follow the lovely Kathryn Goldsmith on social media (@KathrynGoldsmit on Twitter<\/a> and @kathryn_goldsmith on Instagram<\/a>), you really should as she\u2019s now officially QVC\u2019s Jewellery Insider, bringing you all the latest jewellery news and giveaways too. Of course, she\u2019ll be revealing all on her blogs here too so don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re not on social media. (It\u2019s only just occurred to me how very appropriate her surname is – how funny!)<\/p>\n

And finally, a great new section on the QVC website. If you\u2019ve missed a Today\u2019s Special Value or Big Deal offer, do check out this page.<\/a>\u00a0On it you\u2019ll find previous offers brought back at special prices, so you may well find that thing you thought you\u2019d missed! Great idea.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for this week. Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n

Love Jackie x<\/p>\n
