After two weeks out thanks to this stupid chest cold, I completed week 2 run number 1. In intermittent snow. And up a hill. Thought I was going to die on the first run(which was up the hill) but the others were ... Tough but not impossible. Happy me :)

Love South Wales! And I really, really love snow..( too much for a lady of my advanced years) :)

But, not for running in though.. icy here first thing this morning... Staffordshire Moorlands! Had to really watch my step when I set out.. skidding old lady can be a health hazard!

You've just conjured up some very interesting images in my head😈 Maybe take up ice-skating?

That's a thought... I wanted a new challenge this year! :)

I just finished my week 2 day 1 too! REALLY shocked how well it went. I wasn't particularly out of breath until the last run (up a low gradient but long hill!) when i really did struggle and ended the run 10 seconds early. The main issue i seem to have is with my feet- they REALLY ache up to just above my ankles. Im hoping it's a lack of strength and will build up.... we'll see. No snow here though! Day 2 on thursday :)
