Today is the first of the Autumn/Winter schools cross country races. My son has ran them before he really enjoys them and knows what to expect. My daughter is only just beginning to get into running and it will be her first ever cross country race.

A mile and a quarter is a long way when you have to run your fastest!! I am sure she will love it though!?

Over the last few years I have really got out of running. Can you believe I am nervously waiting for news on my London Marathon place then!? I think I am nervous because if I get in, I know how much training I will have to do.Something to well and truly would get me back into running if I got in.... Methinks so anyway!!

My son and daughter on the other hand have been our running, they have ran everyday this year so far. Their New years goals are still going strong. My sons, New Year goals has been going on for a few years now! How amazing are they doing? I wish I could keep to a run streak going. I always get ill though. Then before Iknow it, I have had a week off.

This week has been a hard week training for us all. I have got back into running, we did Parkrun last Saturday. Just joined up a running club and all done training Tuesday and Thursday so tired legs all around! Go us!!

I really hope they both enjoy their race today.

We took these pictures at the Olympic Park. Love it here.

It makes you want to be a good runner when we visit this place. So inspiring. If only.
