Nearly Crimbo!

Only seven hours left at work can't wait!

Merry Christmas everbody!

Very slippy again!

No running of gym tonight as I have my kids which I am really looking forward to as because of the crap weather I have not seen them for four weeks!

So training will start again Sunday afternoon.

I have sent my subs off to Southwell Running Club unfortunately due to car trouble I have not been for ages. But it is definitely worth the £15 a year!

cheers and stay safe & warm

2011

So far I have picked fourteen possible races for next year including two marathons and one ultra!

Want to be far more focused next year than this. I have had some good races but also too many race free weekends. I enjoy racing so I am going to get cracking, so on the 1st of January my application for the White Peak marathon will be sent off. Also I will enter the Sleaford Half which is on the 20th February, next year it is to chip timed so hopefully I can beat my previous best. So Sleaford will be my first race of 2011 and also my next race. Checking some of the dates of next years races some of them clash which is unfortunate the Grantham Cup 10k is on the same day as the Lincoln 10k (I like Lincoln you get a really good medal) and the Mansfield Half is on the same day as the Humber Bridge Half and I really fancy running over the Humber bridge.

The weather has improved but the forecast is for a lot more snow Thursday so lots of running at the gym which is where I will be tonight. I downloaded a few podcasts which I really enjoy listening too while running so I am looking forward to that.

cheers

Moved my car today!

The snow is thawing, HUZZAH!

So I went to the gym if and it is a big IF! I enter this ultra marathon I have got to do some serious training so the sooner I start the better.

Keep on running.

Born slippy!

We have had the snow & ice for over a week and this morning was the first one where I slipped over. It was like an ice rink but hopefully it will thaw a bit more today.

Looking forward to this weekend as I am busy not seeing Charlotte and Sam though which is a pain as I am missing them like crazy! Going to Nottingham Sunday as my brother is doing a craft fair at the Broadway Cinema so that should me fun and I might do a little bit of xmas shopping.

Need to start running soon as it is nearly two weeks since I have done any training and if I am serious about this ultra marathon I have got to pull my finger out. Not sure I am being a bit daft entering it but I need a challenge otherwise I will just drift along and it would be amazing to be able to say ‘yeah, I’ve run an ultra marathon’.

Anybody see ‘Never mind the Buzzcocks’ last night? It was hilarious hosted by Lee Mack and one of the guests was the beautiful Diana Vickers. Really funny catch it on iplayer if you get the chance.

Have a good one

Thinking about going ULTRA!

Bored need a challenge so was googling!

The Nottingham Ultra marathon 50k in October 2011!

Now that's an idea!

Might just!

Snow good!

Have not been able to get my car out for a week!

Been getting a lift to work, I live in a dip so it stays really cold and as we are having temperatures of -12 my car may be stuck for a bit longer! Running outside is impossible as the ice is everywhere and I cannot get to the gym. All very disappointing.

Doing press ups and sit ups at home but it is not the same.

Still it is supposed to be warming up on Thursday a tropical +2 can’t wait.

cheers

ICE!

I'm getting fed up now!

Still snowing!!
