    According to the weather report I have 92% chance of snow. Except it has been snowing since I left work, and I've accumulated about an inch on my car so far...

    Going to be fun in the morning - are you sure you want fun in the morning?

    Considering I have no where to go and nothing to do then yes - bring on the fun :D

    Scorgeous, thanks....I think. :D:D

    I would love to do the Mersey Tunnel 10k, but apparently the climb out of the tunnel is an absolute killer?

    Training for my half marathon starts in earnest in March though, so soon hills will hold no fear for me!


    Snaggs I promise you the climb out of the tunnel is not as bad as people make out. I managed to run the whole thing without stopping but in the tunnel I was basically at a pace just a tiny bit quicker than a fast walk. It;s not so much the grade of the tunnel, it's the fact that it lasts for about a km and a half at just a tiny incline each few yards. honestly if I can manage it, anyone can.

    Honestly ask Sammy, she has seen me try to cope with inclines. If I managed to make it out of the tunnel without stopping there really isn't much for you guys to worry about.

    Sammy, tell them about my endeavours at trying to do inclines
