Honesty is the best policy...

OK, so I could lie and say that for the past of couple of weeks my training has been going really well but that would be a LIE! A couple of busy weeks at work and some very long days has meant that I have been prioritising wine over running, that is indeed the truth...

Karl's training has been going really well and he has regularly been running 4 miles 3 times a week. Roly remains his little running buddy so they are both shaping up nicely. Amusing highlights from Karl's last couple of weeks of runs includes actually having the runs whilst running! Thankfully he made it home just in time (just)... the second involved slipping over in a cow pat! There's definitely a theme emerging here...great work though Karl!

I made it out today and braved the icy cold winds of Millbrook and successfully ran 3 1/2 miles which wasn't too bad considering I haven't done anything (except drink wine) for the last couple of weeks.

Roly was there as ever to celebrate my return, looking rather like an alien dog in this picture:



As far as fundraising goes we are planning on hosting a Scottish cĂ©ilidh to celebrate Burns Night, we are thinking whisky, haggis, bagpipes and full-on Scottish dancing! Watch this space for an invite.

Rather hilariously Karl got some business cards printed to help us promote our fundraising mission. Can you spot the mistake?!



Apparently we are running the Londong Marathon, sounds like somewhere in China if you ask me! Nevertheless we have 250 of these bad boys to give out so hopefully they will help generate some funds. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far, we really appreciate your generosity!
