Hello,<\/p>\n

Since my last blog I\u2019ve finally done it – made it to 1,000 miles! I ran one final half marathon on Armistice Day, which actually took me to 1,001 miles, and what a wonderful morning it was – I loved that the organisers halted the race at 11am so we could all observe the two-minute silence and then run on again. And at the end I even got a \u201c1,000 miles run in a year\u201d T-shirt!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

So – phew! It\u2019s been so much harder than I thought it would be to fit all that running in around everything else (1,000 miles is equivalent to 38 marathons, 76 half marathons or 322 5km races, and I did a big mix of distances) but it\u2019s been wonderful in so many ways. I\u2019ve run across fields and up hills and through woods and, very occasionally, on roads. I\u2019ve run on my own, with friends and with strangers, and with strangers who\u2019ve become friends. I\u2019ve lost toenails (yuk!) and found a fitness level I never thought was possible in my fifties. Will I carry on running next year? YES! \u00a0But maybe not quite as much, and I\u2019ll certainly try to bore you less about it, although I\u2019m making no promises…!<\/p>\n

I had hoped to raise \u00a31 a mile for Headway UK, the brain injury charity, with all this scampering around, and I smashed that target and am so very, very grateful.\u00a0Thank you so much to everyone who supported me, sponsored me<\/a>, and generally cheered me on for the past ten months. You\u2019ve been amazing.<\/p>\n

Right, on to other news! I\u2019ve now seen the cover of my next book, another psychological thriller called The Perfect Couple, which will be released in April. Authors tend not to get much say on cover design so it\u2019s always exciting to see what the clever designers at your publisher come up with, and I\u2019m delighted with this one!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Meanwhile at QVC we have some of the biggest offers of the year as we creep ever closer to Christmas, which is rather exciting. One of the biggest and best this week is an incredible offer on the amazing Dyson Supersonic hairdryer<\/a>. I still remember being flabbergasted by the price when this first came out (\u00a3300, for a hairdryer!), then using it once and thinking \u201cOh. NOW I get it…\u201d. I bought one and can honestly say it\u2019s one of the best things I\u2019ve ever bought from QVC. The reduction in heat damage to my hair has been amazing, and the time it saves too – quick, powerful and no extreme heat, it\u2019s the best hairdryer I\u2019ve ever used and I wouldn\u2019t be without it. It\u2019s a Today\u2019s Special Value offer for the very first time on Saturday 23rd but you can get ahead and order it HERE now<\/a>, with a fantastic saving, no P&P and six interest-free payments (SIX!). It\u2019s a lovely red one with a limited edition red box – gorgeous!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also – if you buy it (or any Dyson product from QVC ) between Monday and Saturday this week, you\u2019ll automatically be entered into a fantastic prize draw with the chance to win \u00a32,000 of Dyson products. You can see all the terms and conditions on the website<\/a>. GO GO GO!<\/p>\n

And finally, Black Friday deals<\/a> have also launched on the website. There are some amazing offers with up to 50 per cent off on everything from winter boots (these Rieker ones<\/a> caught my eye) to diamond earrings<\/a>\u00a0so definitely worth a look.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

That\u2019s it for now, see you soon!<\/p>\n
