Sorry for the delay in my blog but been busy trying to find my running gloves! woke up one morning this week and as I pulled the sheets back I thought for 2 seconds I was in a tent as it was freezing...when I told Lee this she asked if we could put the heating back on in the mornings as she has been feeling it for the last few weeks, I was cold but not that cold...I told her not till December (mid December!).

So it's back to layers already and the darkness has been catching me out too, about 2 weeks ago I ran up Margam Mountain and the sun dissapeared, god knows how I ran down without falling over and the deer running around were scaring the life out of me....in the end I resorted to clapping every few seconds to give them warning I was coming (with a gun). Then there was Monday when I was over the dunes and darkness struck....few minutes later I was face to face with a cow and nearly had a heart attack! I twisted my ankle about 10times in the following 2minutes of that run too.

I went down to the 'Porthcawl RunnersLife' club wear everyone had high viz kit on where I sported the Vizi Pro kit out and was quite a site with about 40 runners heading over the prom like a line of fire flies. The club which did really well in the first West Glam League is going strong with them topping division 3 in the first year and hoping for automatic promotion at the first attempt. Lee ran for the club in her first Marathon and did amazing (3:24) on a hilly course, her friend also ran with very little training (3:36)...she now wants to swap roles and train full time while I go to work, think again Lee!

So winter is here folks.....get your tights out and lets get some miles in!
