Sunday’s Frostbite League race was over at Ramsey on country tracks and round a couple of fields. With all the rain we have had lately I knew it was going to be muddy – very muddy. I wore hubby’s old cross-country trainers which had a really good grip on the sole. They fitted well and got me through the mud with minimal slippage but worse than mud was the wind. I hate it! It was sooooo hard fighting against it! Thank goodness it was only 5 miles – I just don’t think I could have gone on any further. It’s left me feeling pretty worried about next week’s 15 miler – I already know it’s “undulating” but have also been told it’s exposed and windy!

Hey Sue - just caught your comment on Mary-Gee's blog.. and just had to send you a message... I'm glad to finally find out I'm not the only UK Blogger out here!!!
Anyhow - they say cross country is good for you (I think that's a sick joke)... so well done in that wind! A killer for sure!
As for the 15miler... well what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... I'm sure someone somewhere said that too!! ;o)
Good luck with it!
Oooo, there's nothing worse than fighting the wind! Glad you made it with the elements against you. Hopefully your next run won't be too windy. That makes it quite a chore.
Nice job on your run!
Hi Sue! Thanks for asking about the Training Day on 2/3 Feb. I didn't know about it. I don't feel confident enough to go to stuff like that - I am just so slow. But I do appreciate you asking.I am feeling a bit dubious about my ability to do this marathon. I am not giving up - I'm just being silly really - but the 10 miles at the weekend was very hard and I thought " My God! How could I run another 16.2 after that !? " I'm thinking of getting a Personal Trainer for a couple of sessions - what do you think ? Sarah x
Thanks for your comment. How and where do I find info about the training day ? Is it in the Flora Yes Magazine ? It does sound interesting. S
