Different route

Took a different(longer) route to the gym today, and it felt faster... Possibly based on the fact I'm knackered!!! Didn't do any gym work, just steam and bubbles. Will download run when I get home.

Back!!!

just had a week off training due to food poisoning, but had a good days diving yesterday, and woke up today thinking I need the gym.... Always a good sign!!

Have booked my place at the British 10k on July 8th so I now have 2 10ks to train for!! I'm also planning a 1/2 marathon in sept/oct but it depends on diving.

Going to run from work to the gym today, it's only 2.5miles, I can then have a warm down when I get there...:-)

No more Chinese!!

Made the mistake of a chinese omelette on Sunday night, and have been suffering since... Still it's done wonders for my weight loss program, but not much good for the gym or my running.

It's getting better, but still not 100% so I might be gyming tonight.... Or I might not.

Gym

had to go into work today, and its pissing with rain so hit the gym this afternoon on the way home. I managed to break the first treadmill... Overloading it 4 times before it gave up the ghost, still I manged 4 miles on the second. Why is treadmill running so different to running on the road?

fast but not fast

Felt tired and snappy all evening, so decided to go for a run. Felt it was faster than normal, but the couple of hills on my normal route got to me a bit with my HR hitting 168 at a couple of points. so it all averaged out at 10.04 over 3.25 miles. Feeling good now, and my breathing and legs felt good... it evbne felt a bit hot with my 3 layers so summer must be coming. I Even started thinking about how far I could really run at my slow pace... ultras anyone? I have also a slight twinge in the middle of my right thigh...need to keep an eye on it has it has cropped up a few times... nothing serious just a niggle. Also discovered Ben C from my diving club(http://www.busheydivers.org) is running in same the BUPA 10K... he's a bit fitter than me!! Happy birthday Wifey!!!! Wayne

Back in the gym

Back from the holiday today and popped into the gym. Bike,row and 2miles (2miles in 19.54) run all felt good topped off by a steam, sauna and jacuzzi...... Hmmmmmm!!!!

Madness hits

Madness must be creeping in as I've run twice in two days. We are still in Bognor so this time I decided to explore the east side of the coastline from Butlins with a slightly shorter run.. It's great .. Not too many people about, and those who are are very friendly, weather dry and. It is not as cold as yesterday.
Got half way around and was desperate for the loo.. Luckily I found one!!! now having a lovely hot shower and then breakfast before a session in the pool.

Hmmmmmm!!!

Bognor running

Woke up this morning after a food blowout yesterday... A weekend at burlins@Bognor does that to me. Felt tired and lethargic, but decided to get the kit on and go for a run on the sea front. Apart from the fact it was freezing, it was bright and sunny there were plenty of other very friendly runners. Had a great relaxed run and now feeling all glowy and setup for the day... Off to the spa later. And I getting addicted to running?

Icey

Hit the road again tonight, this te for a change I took the iPod. In sections I found my pace considerably faster, but I was slowed down by the icy patches.

End result was a 9.46 over 3.5miles, not bad. It I didnt feel as comfortable as before... Maybe I'm just still tired.

No gym tomorrow as I'm diving.

Day after

I slept like a log after last nights 1st gym session, and quite surprisingly I'm only aching in one elbow. And guess what - i stood on the scales this morning and I have lost weight!!!

Rest day today, I'm running on the road tomorrow hopefully the paths will be a bit cleared or my yaktrax will turn up.

Gym

Good gym session, I remember how much running on the treadmill differs from the road... I prefer the road!!!

Started off my weight reps, hopefully things will improve over time. I could really do with the sauna and jacuzzi :-) but have to do the parent thing and collect step daughter.

Spend spend spend

I have gone a bit mad with the spending today, replacing my 3 yr old trainers, replacing my headphones and buying an iPhone arm holder thingy. All I need now is 50p for the lockers at the gym!!

Joined gym

Just joined the gym, got a free bag towel and water bottle :-) and managed to escape the gym induction on the grounds I had done it two years ago :-)

Rejoining Gym today!!!

When I started all this runnning melarky, just before I started to learn to dive I had joined the local gym. Since there is currently snow on the ground, ice on the roads, and I'm still waiting for my YakTrax, I going to rejoin the local gym. At least I can work on my cardio and core and start to do some weights again. I used to run to the gym, and then do the workout, but I think for the first few, as I am still running home from work, I'll drive :-) It will be interesting to see some of my stats compared to 2 years ago.

Turning into a Yak????

Its snowy and icy and my trainers don't have 4 wheel drive, so I've ordered a set of YakTrax.I'll let you know how I get on.
