Over the last few weeks mum has been unwell and in hospital.  She is now home and staying with us for the foreseeable future and we are awaiting further tests to see where to go from here.   This has meant a knock to our spirits as well as our training.

However, we are still getting out there and Matt has been pushing the boundaries ever further with more cross-country running and a 15 mile run this morning, before coming back to cook our mum’s day brunch of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs!  Properly yummy!

Pops was also up last week and we took to the fields and roads for a few kilometres to test the pace together, after which, he thoroughly let his hair down!!

My conclusion from these walks is that we will not be lacking in laughs to encourage us along the way, both in terms of covering the miles and keeping our morale up as mum recuperates.

We are now also throwing ourselves into planning the children’s bike ride and teddy bear’s picnic.  Dates are now up on the relevant pages and tickets are available for the latter.  Keep your eyes open for more details!

Please take a minute to visit our JustGiving page and throwing some pennies into the pot to spur us on even further!
