A Mad mad mad day

I'd had a rather mad day today. Iv'e been running off and on for the past few months (mainly off I admin), so today I got up and entered the Moor Park 10K. not a bad idea you might suggest... but Its running this after noon!!
I'd post long and hard about the race, but all I can remember was that hill in the middle... and the finish line was a long way in the distance. Sill I wasn't last, I managed 1.07.04, placing me 602nd out of 691. Not great but something to reach for

Tea & Run

Had Tea, ran. Possibly not the best combination but I did leave an hour between eating and hitting the road but I felt slightly sick, and had a bit of a stitch, but soon recovered. Managed the full there and back non stop, so a little further than last time. Running with music is a lot different to listening to a beeping watch.

Passed another runner on the way... he was walking!!!!

Today

Hit the road again tonight, after a peanut butter and crisp break snack...I have problems feeling run down when I come home from work so I need food, but I think the fish and chips after my run might have been a little much...

I decided to deviate from the couch potato plan, (I think last week I was playing with week 3+a few bits, so I do my 5 minute warm up, 8 min run, 2min walk and then 9min run back. Felt good, trying to mjaintain a slow stead pace.. the plan is to get comfortable with the distance/pace/time t5his week and then build upto there and back with no break.... steady and even

Day Off

Has a day off work today, so decided to pop into London for a wander around. Although no running, I managed to clock up 7.2 miles in total, with 2.3 miles from home to the tube, then the rest walking around.

I think I managed to kill my footpod though.

Back again

Well I've had a bit of a break. A combination of starting to learn to dive, the weather, illness, work, Christmas and plain old lazyness have all conspired to keep me off the road. I even had two copies of runners world delivered without opening them.

However the weather isn't snowing, so today I hit the road again. My fitness has dropped since october, but I still managed a little over 2 miles, running repeats of 90s walking for 30s. I think I have found my motivation again so we will see how it goes.....

No marathon

Well the thing that started me off on this running quest ...the London marathon entry has finally turned up. And the answer is????? I'm sorry you weren't sucessful in this years ballot.

Disappointed? Yes, but i'm still going to keep running.
