Where's the snow?

I'm not really a fan of Winter to be honest as I spend my whole time all year round come sun, wind, rain, or snow training outdoors and living by the sea makes it feel like I am stuck on the North Pole at times!! This Winter I am definitely feeling it.

I have lived in my flat now for over two years and this Winter I decided it was time to have my chimney cleaned out and ready for use, and since I had that done two weeks ago I have had my open fire lit every evening which makes it even harder for me to want to venture outdoors for training. At the moment I am praying for snow as at least then it wont be so cold outside, everywhere else in the UK seems to have snow besides us.I remember last December training on the track in the snow it was great fun a little bit tricky at time with a few slips her and there but it made the training session more interesting to say the least.


I have not been to well lately and have really suffered over the last two weeks, I have been trying to train but when I do my heart beats so fast and loud that I feel my chest is going to explode, not a nice feeling at all never I seem to end up laid out flat on the track thinking I am going to have a heart attack, it makes me light headed and then I end up with a headache, so I took a visit to the Doctors and having some blood tests taken to make sure everything is OK. Even when I am sat down my heart is beating fast, maybe I am just tired and my body is playing catch up now that I am back to reality and working, training etc.

So I shall be taking it easy until I get the all clear from the Doc and I have plenty of things to keep me busy. On Friday evening I am turning the Christmas Lights on at Albion Rugby Club where they also have a Santa's Grotto. Somehow Santa, myself and Mia will be riding in on some kind of slay but they are still busy trying to arrange that! so I could be arriving on a milk float for all I know ha ha. Then on Saturday I am opening up Chaddlewood Primary Christmas fete and then next Monday is the big night for me when I have the Evening Herald Sports Awards. So no rest for the wicked
