I recived an email from TCS London Marathon with the headline "Five months to go!"That's quite scary (and exciting) at the best of times, but very scary when you receive it while being ill. Yes, I caught this horrible cold/ cough that's going round at the moment with the added 'bonus' of a high temperature,
Do you run while listening to music? I don't normally when I do parkrun, but when I'm out and about on my own, especially, as the runs are getting a little longer, I do listen to music. First a bit of safety. I try not to run in the dark and if I have to

That nasty cold stayed with me longer than I wanted (not that I ever wanted a cold 😉) and although I feel okay now, that cough is still there and I have only little energy for running, or even jeffing. Part of me is worried and I feel I'm wasting time, but if I can't
Eek! Only 24 weeks left until the London Marathon! How time flies when you're having fun!But am I having fun?Actually, yes, I do. For the last five weeks I have consistently run three times a week. A long run on Mondays, usually 10K, a short one on Thursdays and parkrun on Saturdays. And thanks to
