Pendinas Hill. The 1st Run in a while.

Right, I've been lazy for far too long and it stops as of today with my run to the top of Pendinas Hill in Aberystwyth. The plan is to get to the top of this hill everyday except Sundays (and times when I'm not in Aber), whether I run or walk...I MUST GET UP IT!

Running with Molly along the Ystwyth River path to the sea from Rhydyfelin. I spoke to a man with a lurcher and he told me about a friend of his who had been attaked by a greyhound along this path.

Molly didn't know what to make of the cows in the field alongside the path.

Nice and easy run along the Ystwyth River. I saw 5 golden retrievers (all beauts), a friendly cow (moo), a fire at the base of Pen Dinas hill, a fire engine (nee-nor), a boy racer being brought to a standstill and a nice sunset. I ran half the route on a dirt track and the other half on tarmac, which is risky cause I've got a dicky knee, but a little tarmac should be OK (I hope).

My nipples were still sore and scabby from the 10k I ran on Sunday. I was worried the scabs might fall off, so I lubed them up with Vaseline!

This was an easy run, 2 laps around Walsall Arboretum. I think it will be a regular route when I'm working from the studio in Walsall. There's an outdoor gym so i'm gonna try and use a piece of equipment to do a different exercise everytime I complete a lap.

Ran my 1st 10k this weekend for LHM. Actually according to my GPS tracker on my iPhone it was only 9.57k, so I’m gonna go with that measurement.

Where the money goes...

Every penny raised for Little Hearts Matter goes directly to support the children, their Mums and Dads as well as their wider family to cope with the condition and most importantly to help the children live as active a life as possible.

Your efforts will help offset the cost of...

* the LHM support and advice service.
* the LHM Volunteer Parent Support line.
* bringing families together, ending their feelings of isolation.
* funding education events where families learn from medical experts.
* supporting our bereavement support services.
* raising the profile of our children and their conditions.
* funding children’s activity weekends.
* helping us contribute towards the field of research, vital to these children and many others.
