In training

This is the way I need to see myself as from now “In Training!”. Have to get some miles in now and build up gradually but carefully! Did 10 miles last Sunday but that was amidst the snow n ice so not too much running more careful foot placing went on and not so careful at that! Fell twice! Hopefully a six miler tomorrow up a hill of all things! I believe the key is to start loving the things. Some chance!

However after 3 pints last night to celebrate having today off I ran in the hit the trail 5 race in stockport took me 49 mins i think will check results later I always forget to press stop on the garmin. Anyway its miles in the old legs anyway no matter how fast or slow again a bit muddy though. received a nice lil coaster for my efforts shall use that tonight with my glass of water by my bed

A very muddy walk

Well not done any running today but did take the westies on a long walk with my son who is nursing a wounded heart at the mo. a good brisk walk and a gossip can help no end but the mud on the trails n tracks of amberswood left my boots looking less than well polished

day 4

Hey well what do you all think of the weather then? I love a bit of rain when Im running prefer it when it starts mid run though not before ive even started! Just a little tootle round Hindley trying to find a new running route but many dead ends found instead! There were avenues that came to dead ends but closes that went into roads and looped round! Not sure what they were thinking of on that estate when it was in the making. Was going to join sweatshop run this evening but my partner made a start on the tea early so had to just nip out as I cant run when ive eaten anyway at least I manged to get a good nights sleep mustve been the pizza!

day 2 = a day of disappointment

Well today didnt start well at all! Turned up to the central lancs half marathon at 10:40 ready for 11:10 start as advertised by the northern running guide went to pick up my number and was told there really wasnt much point as the race started at 10 am! Miffed email now written to the accused and just a 3.4 mile run completed. Ran to the citroen dealership to enquire about the DS3 sport plus wow! Have you seen it? Im wanting one in white very tempted had to come away to cool down though in case of any rash decisions made in haste to perk spirits up and then ran back unfortunately garmin left on the whole time so not accurate timing so although mileage about right timing wrong so have guessed at the timing think it was probably about 34 mins which is about right for me running slowly for 5k. Think its track session tomorrow at running club if I dont just do something myself cos not keen on track! Lets hope tomorrow brings a better day up at 5 ready for work
