First post of the year 2013

Compton 20 mile run 6/4/13

 Jo and I started together but Jo is much quicker than me, so left me behind and finished second lady. Jo is brilliant.

 Marlow duathlon 17/03/13

 Finishing the first run. Me in Blue and yellow, Jo in purple

Jo finishing, I did not finish as it was so cold and wet on the bike I could not continue onto the second run. But as you will be aware by now Jo is amazing and far superior to me.

Jo and I also ran the Newbury duathlon on 10/03/13, no photos for this but there is a video on you tube if you click on link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mExrcxker7o it is the first event in many a year that I have finished ahead of Jo. Not that we are competitive.

My first marathon of 2 this year is Kiev on 27/4. Training has been going well. The weather has not helped though.

Climbing Snowdon

Myself and three friends (Chris, Jim, & Matt) climbed snowdon as you can see there was more snow than we had thought there would be. It is incredible and I can recommend if you have not climbed snowdon it is well worth. It was also a great weekend catching up with the lads that ran my first marathon with me.

This is the list of my 10 remaining marathons.

2013 - May - Kiev (Ukraine) & October - Isle wight
2014 - May - White peak (Derbyshire) & October - Jersey
2015 - April - Vienna (Austria) & August - Quebec city (Canada)
2016 - June - Utah (USA) & September - Yorkshireman (Yorkshire)
2017 - January - Xiamen (South China) & April - Zurich (Switzerland)

Apologies

Jo and I both read the Jersey marathon website wrong. It is £125 for the relay and £30 for the marathon which is much more reasonable.

SDBTT - Have a new name

SDBTT have changed their name to - The Brain Tumour Charity. Below is the link to their website - http://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/  There is a new name but the amazing work they do is still continuing.

Need help with letter J

My J is Jersey but it is expensive. It costs £125 to enter. I can not seem to find a cheaper option. If anybody can find a better option that would be appreciated.

Jo and I's balloon flight

We were kindly given the flight as a wedding gift. It took four attempts to fly due to the wonderful summer we have had.

It was a fantastic experience Jo and I had a great time. What a fantastic present.
