Back in Blighty

Back on the good old A253 today. At least it was sunny, but the head-wind made it very hard work. I kept up my three days a week during my two-week holiday in California, easily beating back the "but I'm on holiday" gremlin - it was fun seeing different places, and most of them were flat. But the "I'm not on holiday, I'm jet-lagged, and it's COLD out there" one was much harder to kick. Still, I did it, and now I'm feeling virtuous again. And it won't be long to my first anniversary of starting this new C25K life. Must enter a race...

Well doen for keeping up with the running while on a holiday, many find that hard (I know I do). And yes, it's cold out there, but you've proven that you can do it. So well done you :)

Well done for keeping it up. Yes it's really quite grim out there, I'm beginning to hate the wind...
