Pictures Speak a Thousand Words

Found this image today on my phone.

Took this the day after Andy died. We went to the beach as a family to get out of the house for some fresh air.

The picture says everything about how we were feeling. It was a very surreal day.

Road to Silverstone - 3

4.7 miles! That's what I ran/walked last night! It hurt so much, but I did it. Thank to Mark's support, and drive!

This week I've done three mornings at the gym (7am - 8am) and a 4.7 mile run. (The .7 is very important for motivational reasons)

That's just crazy! Next week will interesting - 5 days of gym at 7am, and longer runs in the evening - lets see how I cope. 13 weeks to Silverstone

No more ripped trousers for me!!! Soon the "Michelin Man" title will be gone :)

Road to Silverstone - 2

It's a new year and I'm still "training" for the adidas half marathon. So far I've run.....ermm.. well ... I've not been for a run since November.

So with about 13 weeks to go I need to really focus and start training. Mark W has started training to run a marathon in 13 weeks so if he can do it, surely I can be ready for a half marathon in the same time.

Time to suck it up and get serious! My longest run was 3 miles... which is a HUGE achievement for me. So training begins tomorrow... :)
