318/365 Brrrr out and back 5K by Big Kev

318/365 Brrrr out and back 5K by Big Kev

At the moment I am only too aware of the major issues that are effecting the world and I do want everyone to lend a hand, wallet and thought for all of those less fortunate than ourselves. For now though I am going to concentrate on the running and at least try and help one group of individuals at a time and leave the better able and more qualified to help fix the rest, until I am asked.

Just for the record my comments are relative to my day and the experiences I am having at that time.

It was noticeable chiller today as I left the house in the dark and I kept seeing in my mind today's headlines about months of cold and snow ahead. It seems to me like it was only yesterday that ventured out on a cold January day and into 4 inches of snow. Has it all come around that quick that the snow will be back with us in a matter of weeks.

I kept it simple tonight after last nights detour and just followed the out and back route from home. The leaves now cover the payments from side to side and make it relatively slippy under foot. At this rate I will need to be wearing trail shoes on the pavement.

I may go out early tomorrow as after 5 weeks of waiting we get Katie back for the weekend and have lots planned for her. Especially as this would be her second birthday weekend (she is turning more into the Queen by the day).

One final note, I am now in the final paperwork stages of confirming my New Years Eve run, so spread the word its looking good. Assuming we aren't under 4 foot of snow!

317/365 Club run and a new route 7 miles by Big Kev

317/365 Club run and a new route 7 miles by Big Kev

It was a lovely evening's run tonight as the head was clear and I had a great night's sleep. I have had client appointments all day, so the run came at a prefect time to allow me to process the events of the day.

The run also happened to be on GWR's club night and additionally allowed me to catch up with friends. The days are passing by as quick as ever and the interest continues to build, so thank you for all your questions, keep them coming.

I did though create a new route tonight as we normal offer either a 4, 6, 8 or 10 mile explorations of Bristol. Well I did start with the 10 mile group and then after 3 miles, I took the decision to deviate from the group as the pace was overall a little to quick for my tired legs. I therefore joined up with the 6 mile group and finished with an overall distance of 7 miles, sorted.

I might do that again next week.

316/365 Head banger of a day 5K by Big Kev

316/365 Head banger of a day 5K by Big Kev

I am cutting to the chase today. I have experienced another new event on the run365challenge. I have to a degree not mention the daily aches and pains too much on this challenge and I hope only when they have hampered the efforts involved. Today though was a novelty, I had a migraine headache this morning that involved the full on flashing lights that resembled a temporal rift (nerd reference and I have never really seen one so I am only guessing really).

This has though left me all out of sorts, all day. So I was actually quite nervous about my run tonight as the pressure is mounting and I really didn't know what would happen.

To my delight, the cold air and the deep breathing helped immensely.

I knew there where going to be dark days on this challenge and I do refuse to give up. Call me stubborn, bloody minded or obstinate, I don't care this thing is bigger than just me, as I have had so much wonderful support and it needs to be repaid.
