On Saturday I took part in a very tough, snow filled Durham parkrun. I was there to support Paul Smith, he was celebrating his 50th Birthday and 100 parkruns. +

So, this is Christmas…
12 Days of Christmas
…and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun. Great lyrics from John Lennon and I thought it would be a great start for my 12 Days of Christmas summary. +
One Way to Drum Up Support
12 Days of Christmas
With my challenge complete, I was delighted to see the local papers had taken an interest in my challenge again. +
Feels Good, Does Good
Health
I’ve always had sensitive skin and in the winter months my skin is always very dry. I suffered with really bad eczema when I was a kid so I’ve always had a moisturising routine in place from an early age. +
I Could Live on These
Nutrition
I discovered I had a cow’s milk allergy a couple of years ago so I’ve been dairy-free ever since. At first, it was difficult. You wouldn’t believe the amount of things I was eating that had milk in it. I didn’t think I could do it until I discover the freefrom aisle in my local supermarket. +
12 Drummers Drumming
12 Days of Christmas
12 days and 60 miles done!
It was my last run today and we completed 6.6 miles from the Drum Industrial Estate to my home to celebrate 12 Drummers Drumming. A very big thank-you again to John, Peter, Ross, Martin and Stephen for supporting me. Also thanks to Miller who joined us halfway. +

12 Days of Christmas
Couldn’t believe my eyes went I saw this on our doorstep mat this afternoon! Utterly amazing and I’m so grateful to the Durham Advertiser for featuring my story on the cover. +
11 Pipers Piping
12 Days of Christmas
11 days down, only 1 to go! 53.4 miles down, only 6.6 to go!
I can’t believe I only have one day left to run. Today’s was a lovely 2.5 miles from my home to the pipe stall in Durham Market. My support today was Ross, Val and my mate Miller. Thanks again guys! Chris (Miller) had planned to run the 2.5 miles on the 7th day but was ill so I was over the moon he could make it today. +
10 Lords Leaping
12 Days of Christmas
10 days down, 2 to go! 50.9 miles down, 9.1 to go!
I now have single figure miles to run and what a great feeling it is. Todays run was tough, very tough. Martin was fantastic today, he kept me going. I forgot how many banks were involved in this run and it sucks the energy out of you. We made our way to Lord Hire Centre in Durham to celebrate 10 Lords Leaping. We got our photo taken and then had to make our way back! +
No Udder Way
12 Days of Christmas
I mentioned on the 8th day we were greeted by family, friends and a press photographer. The shots taken were for the Durham Times and the Northern Echo. It’s fantastic to get exposure in my local newspaper and it’s already helped raise even more money for Percy Hedley today. +
