Ok, this is my first entry on this blog, I am not a woman of few words (why say something in 30 words, when you can use 300?!) but I do take a while to warm up (same goes for running) so please bear with me. In exactly 11 weeks, I will be running the London Marathon, with my husband Alex aka Bozza, who you'll meet later. I am running for the eating disorders charity beat. This is a charity that means alot to me, having suffered from an eating disorder for the past 15 years (if you've bothered to read my profile you'll know this already!) Anyway that's the context bit over with, time to do some running......
Snow was forecast for a couple of days and the inevitable panic ensued i.e. uneccesary trips to the shops to 'stock up' and massive queues at the petrol stations *rolls eyes*. After breakfast, Alex went to clear the drive and go for a reccy. When he came back, I have to say there was a part of me that hoped he'd say it was too dangerous to go out, but Sundays are for long runs, whatever the weather......
The pavements were pretty bad so we had to jump between them and the road. I nearly bailed out after 3 miles with terrible calf pain but decided to push on through (after a little bit of bottom lip quivering). Just as I was getting my head back in it I got showered from head to toe in ice and mud by one of the many inconsiderate motorists we encountered. I'm surprised I didn't get arrested for a public order offence for shouting profanities/making rude gestures at them!
