Winter has begun........

So the last time I did my blog I explained that I was going into have my plates and pins removed from my right wrist and wasn't sure if I would require a bone graft. The good news is I didn't my surgeon was happy with the results and at the moment no further surgery is required however I do need to be careful with weight baring through my wrist as I still have a few holes in my arm as a result of these pictured to the right.........

I have now gone into the Winter training phase which I can for once say I am really enjoying it at the moment!! Never thought I would say that as the Winter phase is the hardest part as its about putting down the foundations for next year which means I am having to put in the mileage.....yes that's right! you heard it correct, no sprinting or spikes for me!! The only spikes I will be wearing is of the Cross Country kind as at the moment there are talks of me having to do a few to help me get stronger and work on my endurance, plus a few 3k races on the road Eeeekkkk!!

Last month I was asked to start a trail run and whilst there they had a 2 mile fun run which Mia decided she wanted to have a go at which meant because she was so young and there were rivers and muddy puddles to tackle on route I had to join her on the run! It was great we both really enjoyed it even if the muddy puddles did come up to Mia's waist and she lost her shoe a few times she made it round in about 20 minutes and this was us afterwards however I wasn't impressed with the state of my nice trainers. I suppose I better get use to it though if I really do have to embark on some Cross Country running!! I have even gone and got myself a push bike to get riding too I really am on a get stronger mission......I was inspired by Mia as she has recently learnt to ride her bike with no stabilizers it only took her five minutes, she sat on and I pushed her whilst holding onto the seat she shouted 'LET GO MUM' I did and she was gone!! I was so proud of her so now we can go bike riding together which I cant wait to do!! Love being a mummy :o)

So at the moment things are going great I have been ill the last week with a horrible sickness bug which has attack the whole of the Endacott Family (sorry ) so that put paid to the training for a week so now I am weaning myself back this week and looking forward to the rest of the Winter and a few new adventures to undertake so till next time.........
