How Long???
Jan1620115:14 p.m.
Cannot believe it is over 4months since I last wrote on here! I am still running, however, no marathon runs in this years schedule. Phew! I do however have a couple of challenges on the go - one being turning 50 this year, could be a positive there that I go up an age group and there is less competition! I also promised to have a go at an open water swim with my son, he will be 12 when we do the swim but it is in the North Sea about 1.5 miles "castle foot" swim, anyone who knows Scarborough will comprehend this as a swim from the North Bay to the South Bay. Not sure if I will cope with the cold water - I hate it, but am willing to give it a go. It is a bit of a family tradition, my mum did many years ago, her brother and sister swam it, her sister went on to do all manor of long distance swims including a Channel swim in the 1950's - so no pressure then!
I have some runs booked for this year - Brass Monkey Half Marathon - Jan, Snake Lane 10m - Feb, Thirsk 10m (postponed from November) - March, Kirkbymoorside 10k and Jane Tomlinson York 10k - if i am not swimming the castle foot that day - I know which would be my favourite choice!
Good Luck to all the Marathon runners this year - I did a 12 mile run yesterday which nearly wiped me out - I certainly remembered how horrible I could feel after the 20mile runs - it all came flooding back to me!! Hope Edinburgh not too hot this year, I am going back to Edinburgh for a short break without a marathon - really looking forward to it and will only view that horrible power station from the train - perfect!

Really liked this run last year, found the new route a bit twisty turny, running along some obscure streets in York then suddenly appearing at a landmark,... -
