Back again....

Morning all - been off here for a whole month, trying to get my mind in order and get up to a reasonable distance (and lose some more weight).... now up to nearly 7 and a bit miles (its all come back to my, even though I've had some tough starts in the cold). Couldn't believe how tough it was going to be again (but forgot how good you feel 20 mins in).. the Reading half marathon is only 5 weeks away so I'm going to walk/run it if I need to. Pick is of me (right) and my friend who got me into all this running lark, on a route around the Mentmore route in Bedfordhsire. The eating is also going well with 4 pounds lost in the last couple of weeks (not really dieting, but eating much better with smaller portions). Today's weather looks tempting for a late run (would have been wind assisted yesterday so gave it a miss)... hoe everyone else is ok - hang on in there, it will pay off!!!!

Its a lovely quiet run - just some cyclists out enjoying the peace..... there's a good 10 mile circuit so perfect for training with a couple of nasty hills.. but with some perfect flats to spped up on.

Not what you're looking for?
