Keep reading to find out how this happened....

So how is it going I hear you ask! Well I’ve got myself some new trainers finally, after starting to develop a little shin pain in a couple of runs. I’m still breaking them in so haven’t really giving them to much of a hammering yet, but they look very clean and white, and after taking some advice in a specialist running shop I’m sure that they will do the job.

In terms of training, I’ve added some variation this week as I’ve got my new bike out on the road. In fact, on one day this week, I cycled the 6.5 miles to work to meet Lisa (Animal Care Manager and fellow Half Marathoner) at 7am (!) and went for a three mile run before work, then took a detour on the way home after work and turned the journey home into a 10 mile cycle.

I haven’t got out running as much as I would have liked due to the shin pain, but when I have I have found that I have been coping very easily with (in terms of aerobic fitness), with running 3 miles…. I guess at some stage soon I’m going to have to bite the bullet and attempt another four miler… and maybe even a five!!!!!

Update!!!!

So I’ll be honest, I wrote the above about a week and half ago but haven’t got round to posting it on the blog yet, so obviously I have got more to say! Continue reading What does pride come before?…. oh yeah, I remember now…

Laura and Mike Nicholls at a recent book signing with Johnny Kingdom

Two Secret World supporters are taking fundraising for the charity into their own hands… or should that be feet?!?

Laura and Mike Nichols are taking part in the Ilminster 10k on 2nd November, with all the money that’s raised through sponsorship going towards the care of sick and injured wildlife at Secret World Wildlife Rescue. Although they’d happily describe themselves as reasonably fit, this 10,000 metre run is a step up and does represent a big challenge for them, so everyone here at Secret World would like to offer them the best of luck.

If you would like to sponsor Laura and Mike, you can do so securely on line at www.justgiving.com/lauramikenicholls
