Wow was it cold last night

Determined to keep up the training regime and get some good mileage into the legs before Christmas, out I went last night for 4.5 mile run.

I must admit heading home from the station I was havng second thoughts as it was baout 2 degrees!! But out I went and trust meonce you get going you warm up quite quickly.

Run completed in approx 39 mins this time so I am finding a little bit of the old pace again or perhaps I was so cold I was rushing to get back into a hot shower !!!!

Anyway, this weekend sees an 8 mile training run attempt so updates will follow

I have now set up the JustGiving Page for you all to donate to The Breast Cancer Campaign.

There is no minimum amount I need to raise but I have stuck £300 as my target as I think that is a fair amount to aim for. So don't feel you need to give lots, any amount is a bonus to the charity.

As some of you may or may not know, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, so this is a Charity close to my heart.

Rest day from training yesterday so back out tonight on my 4.5 mile route, wrapping up warm too, it is FREEEEEEZZZZIINNNNGGG out there !
