It's been a while.....
After my success at the London Marathon, my enthusiasm for running took a bit of a nose- dive and apart from a very nice run with Claire at the Taunton 10k, I more or less took the rest of the year off!!
Me and Claire at the Taunton10k. She was going for a sprint finish!!!
However, having eaten one too many mince pies over Christmas I decided it was time to put on my running shoes again and get my fat arse moving!! We've also just booked our summer holiday and the thought of being mistaken for a fat northerner on the beach was just all too much!!!
The Shaunies have been drafted in to help with my regular beastings once again!!, and I'll be running with the club (running forever RC), Claire and Cath at times too.
Not only am I enjoying my running again, but I've entered into a couple of races:
Taunton half Marathon on the 5th April
Exmoor coastal half marathon on the 9th May
In addition ( and some of you might be surprised by this- see post entitled 'never again' on 10.3.08!!!) I'm hoping I've got a place to take part in this year's Grizzly. I'll only do the cub run this time (9 miles) as I won't be fit enough to do the full 20-ish time. Bet you can't wait for more photos of me suffering!!!
Anyway, I'll try and keep you all updated on my progress...and as those of you who read this blog before will know...it's likely to be slow!!

Absolutely!! I've got to try and get in some sort of shape (other than round!!) before we go on our holidays!!
And anyway Mr Shaunie, I understood it that you were on a bit of a health kick??!!...
Just wait until I start my 'Boxercise' as well.....
