The best time to find out you've got the beginnings of a cold is certainly not a few hundred metres into a 10K run, when you suddenly find it difficult to breath.

I struggled to my finish in 53:47 in Grantchester this morning, stopping after 2K to do my inhaler. Afterwards, a guy said to me he'd been following me most of the way and I was really pushing it, which helped him get his PB. Different strokes for different folks!

I did the Cogwheel Canter this morning in Girton; 10K in just under 50 mins. My Running Events Cambridgeshire t-shirt got its first outing. I'm a little under the weather so my throat and lungs didn't thank me, but I need to keep getting the runs in ahead of my Cambridge Half Marathon run for Centre 33 in March. Please sponsor me!

In 2020, I ran my first half marathon for Centre 33, who provide counselling and support for young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. In 2025, I'm doing it again! In 10 weeks I'm aiming to beat my PB of 1:38:00 at the Cambridge Half, which I set in 2020.

I ran the Cambridge Town and Gown 10K last weekend. The weather held so conditions were perfect and I surprised myself with a quick run for me: 45:55. I think I've not run 10K that fast since the start of 2021; my "new" second-hand Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 shoes may have helped.

How wet was the Grantchester 10K on Sunday? This wet.

It was nice out yesterday and I needed to get out of the house, so I popped to Fen Drayton and back.
