15 weeks to Marathon (lost track of hip surgery numerals)

Well we are on the flip side - the first leg of my recovery was, well, recovering and the second side - over the brow of the hill with only one goal in sight is the training up part for the Connemarathon.

Went out for a snowy run round a reservoir on Christmas morning, nice and gentle - beautiful! and thoroughly enjoyable - will post a pic. Especially of my friend Adelle's snow angel which had big wings and a pea head.





Went out again on Sunday to run and ran for a good hour through uneven ground, slidey slush and mud and we had chosen a good route which didn't have any ice. Again round a reservoir, the snow was starting to melt away but it was still beautiful.
I adore running round the reservoirs and now that marathon training IS A GO! we will be spending most weekends up there builing up to 3-4 hours of run time pre-taper.

I had a bit of an enforced break the couple of weeks leading up to christmas as we were moving house and I got extraordinarily involved in closing the deal so that we could move before christmas. We moved on the 21st Dec and I feel like I have been living here forever. Our new home is beautiful. We are going to start some builing works in Jan/Feb and convert the large garage into a gym and therapy room. I'm soooo excited. I just want to jump up and down every day :)
