This week has been really good running wise. 4 great runs with better speed than of late and feeling good! I've done more miles this week than since FLM as well.
As always though there is a but. It's like this. Monday's long run was because I felt guilty not running last weekend which means that I would be doing 2 long runs this weekend, something that at the time seemed a little significance!
Seven days later and I'm tired. I have things to do and the weather is nasty horrid wet and windy. I've already done 4 runs this week and 4 good runs. I've done more miles as well so to do another long run would mean I would be an extra 8m over my previous longest week and to be honest with all the things I have to do and with the weather being so rank (and I still have the tail end of that bliddy cold!) plus 2 restless nights thanks to multiple fireworks going on around us I just don't have the energy or desire to go out and get cold and wet for 90mins. I could go on the tready but hidden in the instructions it did say do not use for more than 1 hr. Now 70mins I have done before as I don't go fast but 90 may be pushing it and I also can't face 90mins facing a brick wall!
So I guess that's it for this week. I also suspect I will be using the tready a fair bit this week as the weather is forcasting wet and windy and cold all week. As I am racing (High Peak Relay) on Sunday I will need to try and do my long run on Saturday as my leg is only 2.5m - unless I have to do 2 legs (making 5m) and also run back to the finish after my last leg which would give a total of 6.5m + warm up(s) but this depends on if TiggerRunner is running or not and if Beanz wants to run! I'm waiting for Beanz to get back to me and let me know! I wouldn't mind doing 2 legs, think it will be preferable to a long run Saturday and race Sunday for both my legs and the family! We'll see!
Anyways roast dinner to cook and a Gnome to play with and a huge pile of ironing and a PC to re-install and and and the weekends are just far to short!
