Whole Lotta Love...

So, it's taken a long time to recover but I've finally managed to get back to the running. Went out last night for about 45 minutes, felt ok but slightly dizzy when I got back. Feel ok today and I've managed a session of yoga and deep tissue massage so I think I'm on the mend. This illness is all very frustrating but the good news is that my 3 peaks certificate turned up today as did my running number for the Hastings half marathon; really looking forward to this one. It seems that this race is the trendy one to do in preparation for London; it involves about 5,000 runners and is very steep - if you have a look at their very nice website: http://www.hastings-half.co.uk/ you can see how steep by clicking the button marked route map; the profile of the gradient is something to be believed!
Thank you to those people who have donated to my charity this week via the Virgin Money Giving page (see attachment on the left) it'll be good to see that thermometer start to change colour!
Anyway in the abscence of much running information here's, This Week's Running top 10 (as formulated on the top of a few wintry Yorkshire hills):

Greetings pop pickers, in at number 10 this week is Run to You by Australian artist Bryan Adams. This week's number 9 is a non-mover although Kate Bush is still Running up that Hill. Down this week from number 6 to number 8 is Status Quo but they still haven't quite Run, Run Away from the top 10. Moving up the charts and definately not Running to Stand Still is U2 at number 7. So replacing Status Quo this week and up from number 20 to number 6 is Lindisfarne who are trying to Run for Home, will they make it all the way to number 1? tune in next week to find out, not arf! Number 5 is another non-mover for ELO, who'll just have to Keep on Running. There's a surprise entry for Iron Maiden this week, straight in at number 4 as they Run for the Hills. Level 42 are relatively happy to remain at number 3 for a fourth week as they keep it Running in the Family. Bruce Springstein may be Born to Run but he can't quite make past that number 1 finish tape as for five weeks in a row Tears For Fears show us their marathonic mettle - and possible meglomania - as with their 1986 Sport Aid release they tell us that Everybody Wants to Run the World.
