Hmmm and it started so well ...

Training has been really good this week:
Monday 30 mins run
Tuesday 40 mins swim
Wednesday 40 mins run
Thursday 70 mins run
Friday 40 mins swim

Then I drove to mum's Friday night. Saturday morning up and into town for 9 - brisk 15mins walk (each way) to get my new shoes from the Sweat shop (still Suacony 3D Grid Hurricans but in the sale so only £60 and even though I don't need any for a couple of months at least I couldn't say no to a bargain!). Drove home (3hrs due to excessive amounts of slow traffic like tractors, trailers and caravans!). Got home and wanted a cuppa - no milk. Walked to the village (10mins each way). Did Tesco run. Then in the evening we went out, walked there 15mins each way.

So today was supposed to be speedwork whilst the in-laws and hubby where at cricket. They aren't going though due to the fact it is all but finished and isn't worth the petrol and time to drive there for 30mins cricket! So it looks like I won't get the speedwork in as they are coming here instead! Oh and why haven't I done it already? well having been away and working etc the house needs tiding and washing to be done before the in-laws get here!! grrrr!

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 (...
