Has it really been 10 days?

Oh my. So much for my blogging every day, is it really 10 days since I was last on here!

A lot can happen in 10 days.....the sun can come out and raise your hopes that spring is on the way....then the rain can pour down and you dread every run for being wet and cold and miserable!

So as I sit here needing to go for a run in the next 30 minutes (to fit in between lunch and a hectic schedule) I am watching the rain fall and listening to the cars in all that water; oh joy!

I went for a run on Sunday in the rain - my first one actually where I went out in the rain (rather than getting caught half way) - such is my need to keep to my training plan. I initially thought i'd do a short one because of the rain, but I did manage my required training run of 1hr with interval training thrown in....I surprised myself my my determination. And although I now know my shower proof coat is definitely NOT rain proof, I did not come back cold and miserable, I came back feeling quite proud of myself for getting out there and running regardless of the conditions.

What else has happened in the last 10 days? I went for a 30 minute run on Saturday and managed 2 x 9.30 minute miles - a major achievement, not done that for about 3 years!

I went for a horse ride on Saturday as well - 1st time in about 3 months due to work and running commitments. I enjoyed that soooo much.

My sponsorship collection is moving on with donations towards a photography competition I am running for some of my clients. I can see the £500 mark in sight! Now to times that by 3!

Juggling the longer runs and my life is proving pretty tricky at times, but i'm still managing.

Well, hopefully it won't be another 10 days!
