Come on you Bees!!

This morning was tough...tough getting out of bed! The alarm went at 0600...then 0610...then again at 0620 before I dragged myself out of my pit. My bath was run from last night so it was a shave and a wash before getting in to my super hero spandex gear for today's run of 3 miles.

I found myself stalling, finding extra little things to do this morning because I really didn't want to go out in the cold!! But I did...eventually...and completed the run in 26 minutes 24 seconds. I managed to do the whole run safely, 3 miles with no accidents. I got to the end of the run, which finished outside the local shop, and started to walk back the short distance home and nearly ended up flat on my face after doing a heel slide on a frosty drain cover!!!!! I'm a walking disaster!!

The bath was a little too full this morning and the cold water was halfway up my back which took my breath away even more than usual. Still, I keep telling myself it's doing me good! I did my five minutes before thawing out with a nice hot shower. I've decided to stay in a hotel near Silverstone the night before the actual run so I'm not travelling up that morning...a two hour car journey's maybe not the best preparation for a 13.1 mile trot!!

I want to say a massive THANK YOU to Brentford Football club today. I received a letter from them on Friday as I had written to them asking for help with my fund raising (I chose Brentford as I was on their books as a school boy) and they have donated 2 Adult and 2 Child tickets to a Coca-Cola League game between now and the remainder of the season...FANTASTIC!! So watch this space for details of the raffle tickets :) And read the match report from the programme (below) from my game for Brentford against the mighty Tottenham!!
