Up at 4am to get Phil up. Weather is wierd this year - yesterday it was hammering it down with rain, today it's frosty as anything. Bizarre. Anyway Lily got lots of walks. Went to Aldi to do some shopping. More walks. Telly. Bed. Not as good a food optimising day. 98 days to go til London Marathon and no running for two weeks, yikes.

Up at 5.40. Dog walked early doors. Papers fetched. Into the office for just after 8am. All good stuff. Got home a bit late - asked to do a presentation the following day. Good. Worked that up and answered a number of emails. All going well. Dog walked.
Tuesday 7th January 2014
Up at 5.40. Dog walked, papers fetched, son off to work. Into the office for 8:13. Presentation handouts done and presentation tweaked. Have had delivered some pipe fittings for the million water butts have got - only ordered yesterday and already received. 96 days to London Marathon. Little Lily's dog training beginning tonight in Sunny Belper. Lily was the best behaved hound at the training although there was only a little competition in that field - a lab called Willow and a little pug called Gizmo. Need to change my ways with her it would appear but am expecting good stuff to come from it.

Up at 5.40. Up town with dog to fetch papers - realised I'd not got a penny on me so finished walk, got back home. Got Phil up then went first run of 2014 to fetch papers. A slow 3 miles at 10:40 pace but it's a start. http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/283922331/7469884
Another day, another presentation - our Financial Director David was 60 so we made sure he had a suitable send-off!
Went to Hollie's Whitemoor group after work lost 7.5lbs - making them count! Got rid of Christmas Gain with interest now need to really knuckle down and concentrate on avoiding junk, booze and focus on building up the running.
95 days to go til London Marathon - got to make them count!

94 Days to go - make 'em count
5.45 - struggled to get out of bed this morning although was in bed for 10pm - sleeping better with the no-alcohol regime. It's going well. Dog walked, papers fetched, in the office for just gone 8am. All good. did some web-work for charity started off my fund-raising for London Marathon with a £10
Friday 10th January 2014
Up at 4am to make sure the boy got up and off to work which he did bless him. Got up at 5.50, had to drag myself out of bed. Took dog up town to get papers. Got back. Did a 3.2 mile run in 36 minutes (although stopped to drop off a prescription and for traffic a few times and anyway it's not a sprint it's a marathon I'm training for so just leave it, alright?).

| Red sky in the morning - shepherd's warning! |
Nice crisp morning, bit slippy in places, no injuries, 94 days to go. Picked up some paperwork from Hollie in Belper on way into the office. All good stuff. Well after nice weather all day the shepherd's warning proved to be accurate as it decided to persist it down while getting wood in to do the loft floor. Such is life but we got a start made and that's what counts.
Saturday 11th January 2013
Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched and back home for 7.15. Waiting for the boy to wake and we'll get on with the attic all being well. Golf at lunch time. 92 days until London Marathon and not even set up for fund raising yet. Golf a bit poor - but weather nice and where do you get views like these other than Derbyshire?
Sunday 12th January 2013
Most unusual I know but I'm going Sunday to Sunday this week as I'm doing Jantastic.Me and it runs Monday to Sunday. Set myself a goal of 3 runs a week and this morning got it done. Just 3 and a quarter miles but it'll do. Mission accomplished for this week it's a start. Been up in loft last two days putting a floor in ahead of solar panels coming. All going well.
