Greetings!

Didn't get round to this last night because our front door broke. Obviously that didn't stop me writing this but I had to spend too much time tracking down the appropriate part on the internet so we can get it fixed and open it again. It was only today I realised how much worse it would have been if we had been outside when it broke (and  how much more expensive!).

Last week had its ups and downs:-

• I completed my first marathon since training began! (UP)
• Two people commented on the pinkness of my running kit which is actually two UPs because (a) it is recognisable as running kit and (b) if I slip on the ice and land in a ditch there's a good chance someone will see me and come to my rescue!
• I have put on 2lb since I started training - I have no idea how that happened and it's a massive DOWN given I was already half a stone heavier than usual!

Anyway, onwards and upwards, had a very good (and absolutely freezing) run yesterday morning which, when I clocked it later, turned out to be further than I expected at 3.8 miles. That's my longest run this year - yippeee!!

More soon,

Jill xx

PS Do you think everyone who completes the race will get a tin foil coat or only the fastest finishers? I really want one!
