Running in the fog is no fun. I landed, what could only be described as a diving, front rolling, dive bomb off a rock today [if it was an olympic diving event, I think it would have been a good 6]. I seriously have no idea how I did not pick up a serious injury.

As I lay there working out which bits of me still worked, I was surprised that everything was moving and no cuts? As I looked up, I could see I'd dropped about 4 meters. I'd simple been running, lost my path line and took a small stumble. I was on a hill at about 400m. It really brought home that we'll be running and hiking up hills 1300m plus, with sharp inclines and B-I-G drops. For just a second I must have turned to see where I was instead of pausing and moving on. I finished the run, jumped in the car and pondered on my brush with broken bones.

I'll certainly be watching where I put my feet in future...

Winter Hibernation

The weirdest of feelings, I feel like I'm surrounded by cotton wool. I think my body for the first time ever has actually been affected by the seasons. I feel like I'm waking up from hibernation!

I've struggled to get motivated, fighting with my conscious about going to the gym, even about going for a simple road run. Last weeks epic on the moor helped me a little, this has been my first week back at work and that has helped me as well.

My new years resolution was to remain teetotal and caffeine free until after the challenge. So far so good. I've had headaches for four days running, stomach cramps...weird I never realised that withdrawal from caffeine would be so tough?

I have finally fully woken from my winter slumber gym session is all booked in for seven a.m tomorrow morning. Bring on the next seven months and those mountains - Bryn
