Wakey Wakey

After a night of tossing, turning and balancing cats on my back (the little blighters) I decided to give in at 5.30 and get up to face the day. The weather though very pretty is a complete pain in the a** to run in. Last night we settled for a steady 9 miles into Ilkley and back as a speed session was clearly off the menu.
Its my big day today, an assessment centre for a big promotion. 5 hours of tests, interviews and presentations including a financial case study that I'm dreading (I don't do sums very well). Sleeping has been a rare treat so an easy 5 around the village this morning has helped settle the nerves, if a little bit slow in the snow. All fingers, toes and any other spare digits crossed.

Toughie with the weather today, M was hoping to get to HPTT too. Looks like bounding in the snowy grass for us. Keep warm!
