Great news for Christmas, we've won our ongoing battle to receive back pay owed to us since 2003 ! Had to take it through to the small claims but we've got settlement now so money should be with us soon.
So, what's happening on the training front ? Sadly not a lot, steady solo rund steady group runs with Weston AC. The weight is starting to come off and my pace is starting to feel comfortable. Hopefully we'll get out over the coming holiday and commence a proper plan. My entry has been sent off for Bideford Half on 6th March so I do have something to aim at.
Ironman Wales ? Still undecided ! Enjoyed a great evening at Phil's the other night and I survived that without commiting to the race. Numbers are creeping up though so need to make my mind up soon.
Watch this space !

More Snow !
So, what's happened to my training ?
Saturday and Sunday working at the sports centre, no training at all !
Hilary and I went up to the NEC on Monday for the Carole Nash Motorcycle Show, great day out and some amazing bikes. Having not ridden a motorbike since early 80's, I bought a 2000 Suzuki Bandit 600 back in the summer and love it ! Hilary loves riding pillion and we've plans to do some touring next summer.
Anyway, back to the training. Went out with Weston AC on Tuesday for a steady ride - it was freezing ! I hated every minute of it and turned back early having only run about 4 miles. I thought I was going down with something but went out for a 1 hour run with Mark on Wednesday and felt great - had a thick jacket though !
Got on the scales and I'm 11st 9lb - Over a stone heavier than my normal race weight ! It's no wonder I'm getting dropped on the hills.
Work yesterday and tonight so only a walk with the dog to keep me trim. Looks like I'll have to be careful over Christmas or I'll be buying some new, larger trousers in the sale !
