Can't Admit to being Injured

Well I haven't run since Bramley ... I have my excuses ... recovery, cold, snow, windy, cold and icey.

Today I haven't had any ibruprofen and I think I have done something to me leg. So I will go to club tonight, speak to people, possibly run, probably run!!

Sunday I will attempt a long run. I want to do about 14m but hubby will be at work Sunday morning so this means I will have to get up before 6AM so that I can be awake and out of the nice warm house before 6.30AM. At that time it will be about -5 so NO leon despite what you say I WILL NOT be doing the ice bath when I get back!!

But 1st thing 1st - club tonight!

club run of 3.3m and now I have a sore leg. It wasn't the pace, maybe it was the hills as it was the hills that slowed me down last week.
Will see Dr Monday and get to a Physio.
Looks like long run will have to be cancelled and replaced by something else.
Really down about this all - got my ashby 20 number yesterday and now it's looking like a DNS

oh yesterdays run was far from fast but it was hilly and it was when I got to the hills that the leg started to notice at Bramley (and I slowed down!)
Walking about today has been OK - so it's the impact of running + imclines (I always said I hated hills!)
I may ask if I can start the Ashby race early, the leaflet implies a small field (500) so I WILL be last and don't want to keep the marshalls (my club mates!) out too long especially as club peeps normally run the course on the sat for their own prizes!!
(see still think I can do it!)

Assuming I last the 20m I WILL be last cos I'm slower than you and you know that!!
I'd love a running partner for some of the run if you can slow down for me

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...
