Dear Peter and the rest of the world who cares....not nice......was it! I decided to go out at 10a.m.....when it was cold, even by my standards, with added spiky sleet. The second hour did not seem quite so cold and the sleet did stop. BYE-BYE, January. My lower legs were given a real treat....as I wore my new Karrimor tights....got them yesterday...how timely! I knew Peter would go out later.... when it was warm enough for snow!!

It started snowing just 5 minutes after I headed out for a run and kept it up for the full two hours until I returned home - this one was for you Greg!!

Our first full day trial was a complete success! Our plan for the Jogle is to split each day's run into 3 with an hours rest between each section for food and drink (and perhaps a change of clothes). The first two sections will be 2 hrs and the last whatever it takes to complete the 30 miles. Bit cold, but today we ran 12 miles in each of the first two sessions leaving just 6 miles to polish off - which we did in a neat hour. Very pleased. It's a good start....

JT and I are really grateful to Tony Hawks for his support of our crazy adventure... "I hitch-hiked round Ireland with a fridge. John and Peter are running the length of Britain in under a month. The similarities are there for all to see, except for the fact that I was driven everywhere in cars, and then strolling into pubs, and they'll be running everywhere and then collapsing into exhausted heaps at the end of every day. All the more reason for supporting them...

It's now less than 90 days to go...... and JT is currently sportiing a rather 'Christmasy' full beard which he has, today, promised to shave off when we reach £2000! So come on guys and gals - we can't pass this one up. www.virginmoneygiving/team/thejoglebrothers
