Got some thinking to do. Got this as a result of the Ljubljana Marathon result. Have always insisted I wouldn't run the big mega events.
Five years ago running 1km outdoors was beyond any expectation, so this...

After last week's disaster with the fruit cake, I decided to give it another go but with half the ingredient amounts. And it worked a treat!
The Runners Cookbook delivers again. #runnerscookbook #healthyfruitcake

Was really looking forward to boosting my calorie intake with this healthy fruit cake, but despite the long cooking time upon slicing it was still liquid in the middle. Not feeling great about it going straight in the bin.

Have just finished this book, getting back on MyFitnessPal and seeing a one-day deficit of 1400 calories was a bit of an eye opener, so making a serious effort to eat more but still sticking to the same principles. Hopefully I'll start to see an improvement in my training in time for the next race.

A great start to the new year: the medal for my top-3 age grade placing in October's Ljubljana Marathon.
5 years ago this would have been unimaginable; I wasn't even thinking of running 100m outdoors. It will always rate as one of the happiest days of my entire life.

Starting the new year by hanging my son's 60th birthday present for me.
Don't really like seeing photos of myself but it's touching that he wants to keep a record of the achievement. It has started to sink in that it was a pretty decent effort, something to be proud of.

Showing off the latest addition to the running shoe collection, the pinkies have spikes for track sessions. Can't wait to try them out.
