Hello All!

I shall be updating this as I go along through my training journey. I started this weekend on Saturday with a nice 4 mile run. Steady pace and it felt good! I had no music on which was good for me as often I use this to help in longer runs. So for as long as possible I will try to run with just me and my thoughts, The weather was quite cold and the day after my legs felt tender as I havent run since before my holiday in October, infact it might even have been Ladybower 20 miler in September. I know I can spring into shape quickly and build up my base level fitness and the moment my aim is to run every second day for January. So I ran again 2 days later with every day in between as a rest day. I havent run in the morning for a while but I enjoy it. I was even up before my husband who goes swimming very early. Me running in the dark streets when its quiet, its so peaceful. Just over 5km but its fine. The longer miles will come. I shall towards the end be running double run days, running in the morning and evening to simulate tired legs for when the pain really starts to kick in.

I will update more later but this is just to tell you I have indeed started my mission and the donations are doing so much to keep me positive and most of all focused! I have so much love in my heart for this place in Rome and most of all the cats and the wonderful volunteers. If I could scoop them up and move them to me I would but the best solution would be to move there and just live in the area sacred or the nursery perhaps :)

I will keep running!!!

Thanks for your ongoing support for the cats!
