Well, it's been a testing few weeks peeps, first of all a dear friend passed away and then my dad went and suffered a heart attack. Needless to say my heads not really been straight and I swerved the 3k at Trafford last night - opting for the local 5k at Wavertree just to try and take my mind off things but I really struggled mentally.

My dad goes under the knife this weekend so I'll try to keep my head together and get out running. I don't like to dwell on personal matters as everyone has problems and their own demons but I'm glad to say I've got the running to help me and the fantastic network of family and friends plus lads and lasses who train with me and have offered kind words of support.
