So I’m back running after three weeks out with illness :( I managed to get out for just over twenty minutes yesterday and didn’t feel too bad doing it. I’m hoping to do a measured 5km around Loughborough - just working out a route on walkjogrun.

Happy Christmas to all my readers :) if you think 2008 has been a ride just wait for 2009 - three races confirmed already including the Bath Half in March!! Exciting stuff…

Well the battery on my scales has given up :( so you might have to wait a few days for the sugar meeter to be back on the site, but the good news is that the trend is weight going down!

I got a really grand run in yesterday - set off to do a 5km and felt so good 4km round that I went for the hill and extended it into a 7km run! I’m now looking into preparing and getting ready for the half marathon in March and I’m hoping to run a 10km on New Years day here in Beverley, a 12-miler race in Hemel Hempstead towards the end of January and a yet to be announced 10km at some point in February.

So lots of excitement, and now I really should be getting on with some work - best go!

So with a day off yesterday from work (don’t worry I was still running) I decided to pop into town and find myself something to run in which might help in the dark early morning battle with traffic! I managed to pick up a nike long sleeved high vis top for under £20 and went out this morning in it. I didn’t however manage to find the digital watch I was looking for - a simple one (!) - so that will have to wait until I’m on a day out in Hull/York/Sheffield or get mum and dad to bring me one up from Loughborough!

Today’s run was really good :) I did a 10km over the Westwood to Walkington and back - probably the longest distance I’ve taken on in a while. I managed to do it in just over the hour, which I was pretty happy with seeing as I was running against wind, rain and leaves on what was a particularly grotty morning!

Anyhoo, need to have something to eat and then it’s time to get some work done! Blessings…
