Fragile Do Not Bend
Well done WW! I read on FB that there was a last minute course change and the people who did a full marathon had to do 12 laps - what happened?

Well done WW - massive piece of bling and a great distance! medal :)

I haven't done anything for a couple of days as I thought I had the dreadful cough lurgy approaching. I'm getting a bit paranoid about getting that one as, as Mandy knows, it takes ages to bugger off and get back to normal. I'm hoping the rest has done the trick as I don't feel any worse today and haven't started coughing properly so I'll get out for a nice walk today and hopefully be able to run again tomorrow. :)

Hope you all manage a good bit of running today, as it's got a bit warmer out there.

The park forgot to mention that they are extending the road so part of the route is not accessible. I must admit the revised course suited me as I changed my reps, had a drink and some stretching between each one, it was only the last one that I struggled on.

I did feel for those running up and down the hill +12 times but most seemed to enjoy it!

Evening all. Firstly, huge congrats to Womble for the HM at Betteshanger! Cracking medal and a great blog too!

Secondly, not much running to report, work is a bit of an excuse but really just not had the time and energy.

Thirdly, Mr Lemon had the idea of making wooden snowmen, we have lots of logs to burn but he fancied getting creative, so the above group of snowmen are sitting on our table and I have just added the facial features and scarves etc. Twigs for arms will follow tomorrow. Excuse the pun here, but this has snowballed because we were just going to make a couple of them but all our friends and family want them too now! Could do with a week off to get a load more made now, and he's hinting about having a go at making a reindeer next! :-)

Great news WW

Wow L10 wish I lived closer I would buy some from you.

Managed to get to my 700 mikes on Saturday so December is a bonus and hopefully if it's as mild as last year I want to aim for the 100 again but I will just take each run as it comes.e

:) How cute.

I've been resting on my sofa for a few days and my cold is really getting a hold today. I went to PT this morning but he sent me home so everything's cancelled for the week as I hope it won't turn into something really nasty - I have become a bit paranoid about it. ;-)
