Sung to the tune of "Tonight's going to be a good night" of course. Yes I'm feeling positive. I had a great Christmas holiday and I ran on Christmas Day. Yes you heard me correctly. I slipped away from the madness on Christmas morning and snook a half hour to myself where I ran round the fields to the woods. Stopped and had a little prayer for my Dad and all the people I miss then cantered back home to see how the turkey was faring.
I ran the New Year's Day 10k at Cleethorpes! Quite an experience. I chuckled a little to myself as I lined up at the start. That's because last year I remember someone at the running club asking me if I was going to do it and I thought "What kind of a maniac would do something like that on New Year's Day of all days?!". One year later and how things change. It was a great race actually, though a little too road based for my liking and I'm not overly keen on 4x4s squeezing past me. Still I did it in 1:00:55 which is not too shabby considering the excessive Pringles intake.
Last Saturday I ran with the club for the first time in ages and it was great to be back with them again. Plus my running pal is recovering well so we have been able to get another run or two in which is great.
STOP PRESS - I have set myself a watery challenge this year. 200 lengths of the pool for Marie Curie Cancer Care
Swimathon 2013. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. However, if you'd told me this time last year that I would be doing a half marathon....
