Hi! I have not posted on here for quite a while about any runs; have been plodding away except for two and a bit weeks after my birthday when the dreaded cold/flu bug hit. I did a 5.7km outside last Tuesday; but have been on 5 early shifts with less than 4 hours sleep a night (I hate earlies because I can't sleep beforehand- worried I may miss the alarm, even though it's only happened once in 19 years!) then yesterday I was going to go out but ended up Christmas shopping after work for several hours, then wrapping, then Strictly....

Happy running, and here's to great things and new PB's in 2014 :-)

Glad to hear your back out (or in) there and sounds like yesterday's run was a good one. Happy birthday, happy Christmas and enjoy your Garmin when it comes. I got a Garmin for my birthday in October, the basic 110, and love it.
