This week running has been impossible. I squeezed in my last run of the week on Thursday 17th which was a pleasant if not cold run in the light swirly snow. The next morning I woke to a winter wonderland. School was off for the day and cross country, due to take place on Saturday was postponed. The snow stuck around stubbornly and so my whole week has been cross trainer sessions, starting with 30 minutes on Saturday. Sunday and Monday increased to 45 minutes then Wednesday, Friday and Saturday also had me doing the interval runs on the cross trainer. I've missed the outdoors running, but on the positive side I was able to watch TV while doing my training so no time was wasted.
Finally today, Sunday, the snow had melted overnight re-revealing the pavement and grass we have barely seen in a week! It was perfect timing for my hour long run. Up at 7:30 so I could have breakfast before setting off at 9:30. My phone stubbornly wouldn't time for the first six minutes but after that the timing kicked in and me and my friend Emily were able to have a nice chat as we ran. In total I did just over 12km in the hour at a nice gentle talking pace.
Also this week I started my fundraising properly. I began with school taking my sponsorship form and asking my friends and teachers. Next I took the sponsor form along with lots of information and leaflets to have on my stall at work (Bath Farmers Market). I'd like to thank all of the generous people who have sponsored me so far I'm over half way to my target already!
