With only a week until I run the Grim, I have been out for another training run in Chicago. Not quite the same muddy terrain, but it is seriously cold over here. There are some great parks close to my hotel, one of which was set up for a 5 km race when I ran through it this morning. Sadly my plans for the day and the start time of the race meant I was unable to hang around and compete, but I did take the opportunity to follow the course that was marked out.
I was also pleased a couple of days ago to find fresh juice here in Chicago and had a lovely green vegetable juice made for me. Thousand of miles from home I am still running on Juice
Year Without Beer
The Olympics may be over, but my Year Without Beer isn’t! I am spending all 366 days of this leap year alcohol free in an attempt to raise money for 2 charities that are both very close to my heart.
As part of my running challenge I have completed a quarter marathon, a 10 mile road race (Great South Run) and am signed up to do an 8 mile off road challenge (The Grim Original).
In 2012 I was raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Cancer Research UK.
