Up at the crack of dawn yesterday morning to run before a day trip to London. 6.30 am, I know it’s not early for some, but for me it truly was OMG-o’clock. Trying to learn the lessons from the trip […]
Day 70, Ooh happy day!
TEN WEEKS I felt the need for fireworks and a big brass band as I finished my seventieth run. Hell yes! I’ve completed Ten weeks. I’m so very pleased with myself. Ticking off theses mile stones has such a […]
