Full Monty - 5 December

Training been going pretty well & to plan. Discovered the Polden Way near home & ran it a couple of times in recent weeks. About 12mile along the ridge between Street & Hurcot. Had a weekend organised with the Sues begininng of December at which there is always far to much alcohol involved! Had entered the Full Monty - a hilly 10miler around Ham Hill. Of course this happened to be the day after a wine fuelled evening of Xfactor & Strictly!

Arrived at Ham Hill a little hungover but ready to clear the cobwebs! Freezing cold day with plenty of ice on the ground. Hills awful - first major hill had a rope handy to help you drag yourself up. I had a helping hand from James too! Needed it. Still managed to drag myself around the whole course in 2:10:07 which I was reasonably pleased with. Also got a spot prize to boot!
