Well. Norwich is total chaos. Shops and restaurants are closed and after the city was reduced to total gridlock yesterday afternoon the world has taken a collective snow day. Sadly my dreams of a winter wonderland run were rudely curtailed by the fact that by the time I returned to Norwich the pavements had been

Don’t expect interesting things from me today. Temperatures are in minuses. Pavements are slippy in places. I still went out. I did the same mile and a bit as yesterday, slightly slower due to increased slippyness and the fact that I nearly inhaled my own snot and choked to death. Nice. Here I am, looking

Well, that’s week two over! It’s been touch and go at times, but I’ve done at least a mile a day, which is what I promised myself. Miles Run: 21.5 miles Average Pace:9’24″/mi Excuses Overcome: 14 Today was a bit tough. I love snow. I really do, at least when it’s freshly fallen and crisp,

Oh, it’s not nice weather out there this evening. Normally the kind of cold, clinging, fine rain that would make me put my run off till tomorrow when it’s less likely to kill my iPhone. 2 things got me out there today. One is my total bloody mindedness. I have said I am running at
