Lost a week!!!

Went through my training diary today, an bing things into my iPhone calendar, starting backwards from the LM and found I'm a week behind !!!

Not a massive problem as the early weeks are mainly repeats but it shows that time is ticking so about 16 weeks to go!!!

Hit the road

Dispite the weather I managed to hit the road with a planned long slow run/walk 20 easy run then 2 min run, 2 min walk 20 times. 1hr 40mins later I'd clocked up just under 9 miles... And feel quite good although a little stiff

Nothing a hot bath won't cure

Christmas done

Finally done the Christmas thing, no training as the man flu/cold whatever really hit me and I am paranoid about it going onto my chest - instead of 3 days off that would give be 3 weeks off with antibiotics' but feeling much better now so should be out this evening despite the pissing rain.
Need to poke all my mates for fund raising as I need to hit the £600 target by the 21st jan

Still doing most of my stretches though

London walk

Still feeling like poo, but took the family for the traditional Christmas Eve London visit today. The plan says 30min walk, 30 min run (or is it the other way around?) but we clocked up around 2hrs (5.3 miles) walking around London.

I won't mention the Eds burger, or the visit to the M&Ms shop... But it is Christmas!!

poo

Feeling Like poo. Have had a cold for the last few days, and possibly made the mistake of doing some intervals last night. Managed everything, but felt really hot and very drained when I came back and wasn't able to do much afterwards apart from sleep. Supposed to do my 40run 40 walk today, but just dont feel well, so I'm officially having a couple of dats off to try and recharge my batteries Wayne

Running school

Good session at the running school today. Managed to get my arms and legs working at the same time for around 10 seconds... And my glutes need a serious activation. And we hit 8.5 mph!!!!

Still after an hour on the treadmill my knee isn't giving me as much problems as it was yesterday so something must be working right.

Running in the rain...again

Bit of a mixed up weekend today. Christmas party last night so no training, but felt the need to get out so dug out the plan from the runningschool, swapped my rest day with tomorrow as I know I'm out tomorrow, and did 40 minutes fast walk then 40 minutes run... in the rain. Hard work, windly and cold, but I managed it then - checked my plan when I got back and found I should have done 40 minutes run, then 40 minutes walk...doh!! Bit achy, but a warm bath solved most of that. Wayne I'm running the Virgin London Marathon in aid of the NSPCC... please please please sponsor me http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/wayne

Good session

Good session today at the running school.... Didn't know I could run that fast!!! Need to stretch my ankle though
