Well, that’s week two over! It’s been touch and go at times, but I’ve done at least a mile a day, which is what I promised myself. Miles Run: 21.5 miles Average Pace:9’24″/mi Excuses Overcome: 14 Today was a bit tough. I love snow. I really do, at least when it’s freshly fallen and crisp,…

I thought I might do another decent distance today, but instead we decided to take a long walk in the morning, and a short speedy run this afternoon. We walked into town, had a coffee and took a long meander home, walking about 5 miles in all. It was snowing lightly, or rather very light…

Friiiiiddaaaaayyy! Yay! It’s Friday! So what better than a speedy Friday night run in the freezing cold. Long leggings are definitely in order. I got these from TK Maxx, I have 2 pairs, now if it stays this cold I’ll doing a lot of washing. Pace was a bit wobbly today, I thought I was…

Well, we’re a third of the way through. Today I really thought might be the day I cracked and didn’t make it out. Long day, long drive, meeting a friend, big dinner and a pint of beer as I forgot about the running, then another hour drive home to find a light mist of freezing…

Well, that’s a week done, and a weeks worth of excuses overcome. Miles Run: 10.6 miles Average Pace:9’29″/mi Excuses Overcome: 7 I’ve only done 10.6 miles in the first 7 days, but so far the excuses to not run I’ve overcome include 2 hangovers 3 long drives, one incidence of an achy calf and one…

Sigh. Today I had planned to do a 5k. However last night I inadvertantly went out and drank all the beer, so when I woke up this morning I felt groggy, dehydrated, and disinclined to head out for a healthful run, so instead I stayed in bed and drank 2 cups of coffee. Just as…
