Imagine the scene, its 6am and the rest of my house hold is snoozing away. I creep downstairs and fill up on my runners breakfast ready for the start in 3 hours time.

It's the night before the big day and I'm still up! I don't know if it's all the carbs I have been eating since the snow arrived or the anticipation of tomorrow. Either way, I really need to go to bed soon 

I was woken with a start on Wednesday by my eldest shouting "look its been snowing" and me jumping out of bed to check it was true.

We are now one week away from the start of the Big Half and the nerves are now well and truly kicking in. Where on earth did the time go?

So imagine the scene, it's a perfectly normal school morning (well the usual rush out the door trying not to forget anything or anyone) and then I get home to the post, and everything changes!

Ohh heck, only 2 weeks before the big day - when did that happen?

Do a half marathon they said, it will be fun they said!!

As with any challenge we always like to challenge our self's a little further and this year our team are doing just that.

Our search is over, our runners have been found.
