Huncote hash.

Mud, mud mud. Great 10k xc race, £4 entry, soup n roll, well marshalled and a beautiful day. One to add to the calendar.

With chasers (mainly rfrrrr, John n lizzie's dad). Last 20mins felt in a fog of low energy.

From Gaz's parents to Milford and back.

Run with Charlotte and Karen to other end of magdalen and back with a 20min stop to laugh at some of the Ryston mob swimming in the river

Holkham to wells n black. Blew the cobwebs away. Nice.

LERC Xmas lights run. Everyone running together, dressed up xmasy

A weeks course of dioxycycline left me feeling drained on the run (same tabs gaz had for anti malaria imcidently ). that n a combo of poor choice of footwear n a chesty cough n I just could not keep up with ingers and miss lee somewhere near the southdowns. So turned back and left them to it.

Lovely bit of Xmas shopping in Brighton where I spotted a kite. Ingrid then recognised man hanging kite as jonny crickmore's dad n we found there was a night-o street-o going on that night. Unfortunately we weren't dressed for the occasion. But our dinner was made entertaining as our restaurant was right near a control site

So decided to run this Fri eve as gaz got a number n I knew jayne had one n my training is low sounds like perfect prep... Started off strong...too strong with a 7.30 mile for mile 2. Ran with Paul n bill (dressed as a norfolk turkey) for 3miles then the second hill killed me n I struggled miles 4-8. Emma n nimit breezed past at mile 6 n I couldn't latch on. At 8 n half miles gave myself a talking to n kept the pace at 9 min miles to keep under the 2hrs. Last mile was poss 8.30 as jayne n vicky caught me up n we raced to the line.

First ever half marathon n it hurt as much as my tri. Pleased to get round but not pleased with pacing but good training especially those hills

Bit of davina before cheese n wine

Just a little one plus 20mins of stretching

C • bruise updates? 2
