Sorry for the silence!
Right so what has been happening??? Well Thursday was a rest day which was nice! Friday was a club run - not so nice! Felt really hard, HR was still up, legs refused to work and the group where after a fast run as it was the AGM that night too! Still at about 1min over per mile to where I was before Christmas.
At the AGM I somehow managed to get myslef a place on the committee! Yes I am now the fixtures secretary which means I have some nice files to look after and have to look out for races of interest and let everyone know! Oh and I got some new shoes!
Saturday was junior club (where I tried the new shoes!) followed by their AGM ... and I am now one of the child/parent awaareness officers oh and I also need to look out for junior races! Other than that Saturday was a rest day - we also went out for a meal as it was hubby's birthday on the Sunday!
Sunday was, as is tradition, long run day. Spans had set me a goal of 7-8m but I hoped for more than that. It was a bit breeze and I went off road to cushion the joints so I guess that made the run slightly harder. Below are the run stats ... HR down a lot which is much better (av 177 whereas it was 184 at club and topped 183 instead of 195 at club!). It was a very hard 7m, in fact I stopped the watch at 7m and walked the last 1/2m in as a cool down (also had a bad belly by this time and needed the loo!!) Legs felt very tired and all I can say is Next week I will die! After that run I expect to doing Helsby in about 2hrs 40 which will be a PB by about 20 mins.
Can you see where I got tired and walked???
