    I wasn't massively in the mood today but I went out and did it anyway.

    Good for you for getting out there even when you didn't feel like it!

    Thanks - training for a HM - if you would have told me 3 months ago I would want to run a HM I would have asked what you were smoking. LOL

    I know that feeling! Look how far you've come in just a few months - wow!

      @stmadoesboy Nice work hitting your goal early while on holiday!! No sunbathing on my vacation, but my girlfriends definitely thought I was crazy for getting up early to run after partying late.

      thanks @fabnine. After a couple of late ones, I did get a few funny looks early in the morning too!

      Have now signed up for a 10k in late January to make sure I keep the running going through the dark, cold and wet morning and nights ahead!

      October was my first attempt at setting targets, so erred on the side of caution but will up my target when the November running challenge is launched.

      Well done on exceeding your target.

      That is stunning! How many miles at what elevation is Snowdon? It looks like a high one. I can't even make out the treetops below you. I'm assuming those orange & golden fields are really forests?
