I did my third evening of Ceroc dancing last night and can really recommend it as a way of keeping fit, meeting new people and having lot's of fun - I'm really enjoying it.
In my quest to add variety to my fitness training, I decided to get back into mountain biking after a 5 year break. I met the gang at Epping Forest at 9.30 yesterday morning with trepidation and boy, was I right to be nervous. Getting over logs, riding on a camber, through dodgy ditches and all those technical challenges I used to do with a certain level of confidence all seemed very scary to me. We only did about 12 miles but mentally I felt like I had done 20. I'm going to go out on Saturday and Sunday next weekend to see if I can coax that old confidence out from where it's hiding within me. Wish me luck!!!
Have a great week.

Happy Dancing
Went to my first Ceroc class last night - it's a cross between salsa and jive for those of you that don't know.
I was scared rigid after the first demo and thoughts like "how the hell am I going to remember that", "shall I leave now?" and "I don't think this is for me" all came flooding into my head.
Bearing in mind that this was the first of 4 steps we were going to learn, panic was definitely setting in.
One advantage I had being female is that the guy does the leading and all I had to do was follow...without causing him major damage to his feet!!!
3 hours later, I was whizzing round the dance floor laughing and having a brilliant time...and that's only knowing 4 moves.
Can't wait till next week.

Happy 2006!
Here we are, another Christmas and New Year celebrated… too much food… too much drink… too many late nights!!
TSC started our celebrations on the evening of 22nd December 2005 when we had our annual Christmas get together at Sarastro’s in Holborn. It is definitely worth a visit if you haven’t been before. The food is great and it is themed as a theatre, dramatically painted and they even have theatre ‘boxes’ for you sit and eat in!
After copious amounts of drinks we all managed to find our way home and continue our holidays in the same vein J
Back at work today and we had a team meeting to set goals for the coming year. This is something we have done for the last 3 or 4 years and it’s a great way of starting the New Year in a positive light.
I hope that you get all that you wish for in 2006. Enjoy!!
