I took part in a little 5k race in Manchester on Sunday. It was freezing cold and when we got there the ground was icy! I ran a fairly cautious race – some tight bends with icy conditions meant slowing into them. I came 1st though which is always good, just would have liked to have been quicker as my running is going really well at the moment. I'll just have to put it into my next race at the end of the month.

I also had a little accident earlier in the week! Whilst on my bike on Wednesday morning I skidded on ice and came off! A bit bruised and shaken and a tight neck but all ok now. I really should have been on my turbo instead of chancing the conditions – lesson learned!!
