SNOW!

Does anyone have any tips for running in the snow?! I have a feeling it's going to be here for a while and I will need to go running soon!

First Morning Run EVER

I have just returned from the most exhilarating run I've done so far. I set off at 7.45am on one of the coldest mornings this year, -2 in Bath, and it was beautiful. Well, it's still beautiful, but running out there in the cold wintery sunshine, looking out over the frosty hills around Newbridge and Newton St Loe was just the perfect way to start the day.

I think I'm a convert. Especially in these short, dark winter days, morning runs are definitely the way forward!

By the way, it was 3.34KM/2.08m... Not 'great', but hey! It's cold!

Sponsor me!!

My simple aim is to get everyone who wants to support me, to sponsor me £20...

If I get 10 people to sponsor me, that's £200 - Simple.

20 people, £400

25 people, £500

Please follow the link, and support me!

All proceeds go to the Holburne Challenge - Bath's community challenge to raise £300,000 so that the Museum can continue the brilliant work it does in education, outreach and art for all.

An Apology...

Basically, I need to apologise for not keeping you up to date with the progress of my training over the last month or so. Things are going well: I've not stopped blogging simply because I've stopped running! On the contrary...

I've joined the Womens Running Network (Who I will now refer to as WRN) who I run with every Monday for around 50-60mins / 6-7KM.

I have some proper new trainers! I have to say, running is now a joy, now that I can run comfortably. I can go miles (Literally!) longer in these as my feet don't get so tired!! I highly recommend Running Bath in the city centre for advice.

I've been running in the dark, in the frost, in the mist ... But am yet to battle with the rain...

I've lost 5k since September... Brilliant seeing as my main reason for running wasn't to lose weight - BONUS!!!

So there you have it... I am still going, I've not given up, and I'm loving it!! Next challenge really is to get over the 60minute marker...

Keep those fingers crossed for me, and please support me!!

SPREAD THE WORD!

Speak soon, promise.

The Holburne Challenge LAUNCH!!!

The Launch of the Holburne Challenge last week was a great success, with press from The Guardian, BBC PointsWest, Bath Chronicle and Bath Life.

With the help from artist Peter Blake, the Holburne's Director Xa Sturgis and education's Emma Finch, devised the recreation of the famous Beatles 'Sgt Peppers' album artwork. It features some of the many faces from the Holburne's collection and the current staff, as well as members of the Bath community who benefit from the work it does.

Posing as the Beatles are: Xa Sturgis, Director, Peter Blake, artist of the original Sgt Peppers, Brian Peckham, from MacAlpine, and Eric Parry, architect of the new Museum. Follow the link below to read the press release and see a picture of it!! Also, here's a photo of the Holburne Staff with Sir Peter Blake!! : )
