Ooh, lucky, and the perfect skies for them. No sign yet in Chester. My annual jubilant WhatsApp message to my husband tells me that we’re still a week early for their arrival in the NW.

Mission: accomplished!

What an experience. Thank you to all the supporters and sponsors, you really made it ❤️.

If you could spare a few £ in sponsorship for @ukyouth.bsky.social we’d both be hugely grateful 🙏

No sign of ruby slippers sadly #Eowyn.

Update: after a wintry trot through the forest, I can confirm that snow runs are the best. Fingers be damned.

Snow-watch at the plot. The cold frame has succumbed and the pond ice is weight-bearing. But the greenhouse stands majestic and the plucky daffs are poking through.

Cold, slippery training runs this week, with many more miles on the horizon…

I’m running the London Marathon for UK Youth and any sponsorship you can spare would will help them extend their life-changing work 🙏⬇️

The latest allotment must-have: a bus stop greenhouse (not mine, sadly)

Spot of #parkrun tourism this morning with the very friendly volunteers at Llyn Tegid

Watching the incredible Mo Farah telling his story at #CSTConf24 seems a good moment to say: despite being someone who definitely DOES NOT enjoy running 20+ miles, I’ll be doing the London Marathon for UKYouth to offer vital support to young people. Any sponsorship would be v kind 🙏 lnkd.in/eEqWyBHp
