Here is the last instalment from Sally Gunnell.
This year’s summer holiday was a mixture of business and pleasure. I was doing some filming with Royal Caribbean Cruises, who invited my family to come along and spend a few days aboard one of their ships. I’ve never cruised before and it was amazing! I had no idea that modern ships had such facilities. The gym was superb and there was even a running track on one deck, so I was able to enjoy some exercise in very different surroundings from normal. I honestly felt like I wanted to put some effort in, just because I was bobbing about in the Med!
Just as well that I did do some holiday running, because the Monster Challenge is this weekend. I’ll be off up to Inverness to spend several hours running and biking my way around Loch Ness. This is my second time at this event. It’s hard to tell you how much of a laugh it is to do something like this with your friends. I really enjoy the banter before and afterwards. And of course it’s great to be involved in a competitive event with so many other teams; we’ll never win, but we’ll enjoy having a go at it. The post-event glass of white wine is one of the most fantastic experiences of my year; I’ll have earned it and will savour every drop!
I don’t know if any of you have managed to catch any of the Athletics World Championships in Korea. As you might expect, it’s been on our TV pretty well solidly. The word on the street seems to be disappointment that our big names haven’t won Gold. But I reckon that Jess Ennis and Mo Farah, who both got Silver, will bounce back next year, when it really counts. It’s so hard to win a World Gold, then come back and win the Olympics. In a funny way, by coming second in the Worlds it’ll bring more focus and discipline to their winter preparations. I believe in the old saying that we learn more from our failures than from our successes.
I failed to take my chance to win at the Worlds in 1991. That following winter, I worked so hard on my physical strength, my nutrition, my race plan, my technique…I went in to the smallest detail so that I could squeeze every tiny percentage out of myself. Winning Olympic Gold in 1992 was a direct result of all that effort. So Mo, Jess and the others can certainly do it, too. I can’t wait to see how it all goes.

This time of year means one thing and one thing only, as far as produce goes that is. It’s the beginning of apple season. Lucky for us, however, it’s pretty much apple season all year round. Whether it’s New Zealand Braeburns or Minnesota Honeycrisps*, there’s always something delicious to choose from. So, in celebration of that dependable–and yummy–fruit, I decided to surf the waves for how-to’s using them in decor projects. Here are some of the best:
There is nothing worse than getting a stain that just won’t come out. Here is your first defense guide for some common stains. Keep it mind that stains come out easiest when they are fresh, and stains that have been run through the dryer are almost, but not always, impossible to get out completely.
Blood Stains
The trick that works for me every time is to first run the stain under cold water until the water runs clear. Then take a small amount of shampoo and rub it into the stain. You may have to scrub a little bit to get it out. Rinse again with cold water and hang to dry.

Finding a waterproofing contractor is a difficult process. Toronto waterproofing requires not only understanding how water flows around a home, but having a good knowledge of waterproofing the foundation. This is a task best left to experienced professionals. This has given rise to some irresponsible contractors you should avoid like the plague.
Making sure the contractor has all the licenses is a good start. Find out if they belong to any professional trade organizations. These organizations generally serve professional contractors. If the contractor belongs to such an organization he is able to provide a better level of service. Read full post…
