12 Days of Christmas
Halfway now! 6 days down, 6 to go! 29.8 miles down, 30.2 to go!
6th day and a 10k run around Chester-le-Street park to represent 6 Geese-a-Laying. The geese were in hiding however! I rocked up late, typical. I was amazed to see 13 runners all ready and warming up. I was honestly gobsmacked! This was the biggest turnout to date and it helped me so much. +

5 days down, 7 to go! 23.6 miles down, 36.4 to go!
5 Gold Rings this morning so Lee and I made our way to Ramsden’s Jewellers in Chester-le-Street. The run was about 5 miles and fairly flat with slopes downhill for a change. Thanks to Stephen D again today for the photo above and the lift. Thanks also to Juliet who beeped at us at Chester-le-Street. We’d heard it but we weren’t sure who it was until I got a tweet later on. +

4 days down, 8 to go! 18.5 miles down, 41.5 to go!
I’m now a third of the way through my challenge and my legs are feeling it. I’m actually surprised as I thought I’d be ok until at least the 6th or 7th day. I could come on here and say everything is cool but that’s not me. I need to soldier on and remind myself of why I’m doing this. +

3 days down, 9 to go! 13.4 miles down, 46.6 to go!
I should be happy that I’m now down to single figure days but there’s part of me that now doesn’t want this challenge to end. Todays run was at Saltwell Park as they have Hens in Pets Corner. I’m absolutely delighted to say, what a turn out we had! There were 6 of us in total and I enjoyed every stride. +

2 down, 10 to go! 10.3 miles down, 49.7 to go!
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas? We sure did. Loads of food, surrounded by family and Santa was kind, very kind. I’ll remember Adam’s face forever. He was so happy and excited, it was magical. This is what being a parent and what Christmas is all about. +

First run down, 11 to go! 4.2 miles down, 55.8 to go!
Massive thanks to John and Peter for joining me on the run. It was difficult in parts due to lighting but we breezed the 4.2 miles to Pear Tree Lodge in Witton Gilbert. +

I used to call myself Garfield because I hated Mondays. These days, I run my own design agency called Hill Valley Creative and I honestly don’t mind Mondays anymore. The Monday just gone however, will definitely be a day I’ll never forget. +

I recently posted the picture above to my Facebook wall and tagged in everyone who had said they ‘may’ run with me over Christmas. +

…the geese are getting fat. Please put a penny in the Percy Hedley hat.
The photo above is from my meeting last week at Percy Hedley. I’d only met them for five minutes and they had me dressing up like Father Christmas. I said “I’m Father Fitness.” The things you do! Haha. +

I visited the Percy Hedley head offices yesterday. I had a great time and Ed, Maria and Sheila made me feel so welcome so a special thank-you to them. +
