All good plans and all that!
A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows:
Jan - Brass Monkey Half
Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp
Feb - Bramley 10m (poss)
April - Reading Half
April - FLM Support
May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!)
Sept - Robinhood Half
Oct - Great South Run (poss)
This is now
Jan - Brass Monkey Half
Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp
April - Reading Half
April - FLM Support
GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt!
So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!!
Hey Ho and all that!!
Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new scales etc) and get back home for 12 and the Gas Man (anytime between 12 and 6!) Add hubby working to 6 and I need to judge exercise to fit in! Hopefully I can do some tready work and or exercise bike in the garage, keep the door open to hear for Gas Man?? Or hope he is early?? Oh I don't know!! We'll see!
Tomorrow will tell hey! Would love to do some gardening too, oh and painting oh and and and yep that's right run out of holiday time again!!

If you do "make this another mainly training year..." then it really makes sense to JOIN a club. It would give you the structure to keep on training; you'd meet up with and run with other people; and I think that you would find that you would improve more quickly than you would if you trained mostly on your own.
We all need motivation at times - and I think joining a [good] club is one way of helping with that
Just a thought hun

For example - I'm taking the kids back to their Mum's on Wednesday (club night) but I will try to make sure that I get back in time to get to the club
Wouldn't have done that if I was going to run alone!!!!!!
And you work that little bit harder when there are people around you too!!!
But you're also right - Keep to the Spans coaching plan (saw her while running the other day :o) ) - and put up with being nagged by *us* lot... and you will do fine!!!
:o)
and at the same time I was off for 8wks with a stress fracture!
anyway I'm too slow to go back (bad thing to say that about a club but they are the nearest to me!)
Pixies Blog hits RW February!!
