Well that was the best worst run so far. With the Beast from the East and the end of Storm Emma I done it I graduated. Had to change my route half way as snow was up to my knees doing so decided to follow the local farmers tractor route. The snow was a challenge the biggest challenge was not falling on my ass or breaking my neck. Anyway loved it finished it with a snow angel in my back garden 6 inch of snow then I entered the house to cheers and Cliff Richard singing Congratulations so all worth it. Thanks very much for all the support and hints and tips I’ve loved every minute of it and will rave about it to all my friends.

I’ve done 2 runs on a treadmill since and yup I’ve run for 30 mins. I’d like to hit 5km and can’t wait to get to a park run. What are your plans

I was going to try the 5k+ podcasts first which were recommended they have music along with it still 30 minutes runs I think. I’m still loving it long may it continue hopefully keep going
