Hmmm well that didn't go exactly to plan! Only ran twice and ate far to much!!
Didn't get to see Fraggle (mum feel over and hit her head on a stone table). Grandma is losing her care thanks to the Social Services and YES she really does need care. This means mum is even more stressed out!
Went to BIG Waterstones to look at Unix books ... they had none! In fact there were no Unix books in Reading! Bit like Loughborough! So Amazon it is.
1st run was a short 2m "I'm tired don't want to get out of bed but a run will make you feel better" affair. Ran the 1st mile and walk ran the 2nd. Not to plan but I was not expecting to do more than 1m so not too bad.
2nd run was up on the Berkshire Downs. Dad and Gnome were up there to fly their model plans so I trotted down the path then turned back and trotted down the gallops. This time I did stick to the 1r 1w plan but because I already run I did more than the 10sets, it was a nice day etc etc etc! :-D
Whilst on the track I was averaging 10mm pace or below even with the undulations. Once I hit the gallops OMG! Lovely soft springy surface but SOOOOooo hard to run on! Even the fibre sand track was hard work. Result average 12mm pace. Still just under 5k so good.
We hit traffic coming home yesterday so I was driving for over 3hrs and was too tired today for anything. We had to go to town so done lots of walking but running ... nada!
So next run (hopefully tomorrow) is 2r 4w X5 plus I will do 5mins walking warm up and cool down. Run after that is the same. Aiming to do these at 10mm pace (or there abouts) again. If possible I will do this tomorrow and Saturday and then Sunday maybe do a longer run back at 1r 1w. Next run on plan is 3:3 (like I did at FLM!) but still only a 30mins run and I don't want to lose all my endurance hence the longer 1:1 of say 5-6m. Does that sound OK to you lot??
The 5K is next Sunday. Day out with Gnome monday so lots of walking but no running. Plan runs Tuesday or Wednesday if possible (3:3) and then at work/munchtime on Thursday and/or Friday (5:3 X3 so slightly shorter) leaving Saturday for a rest. It's only 5k so no taper and no concerns of tired legs, especially as I am doing walk/run in training. The race itself will be run and enjoy and push hard if possible!!
So that's my update!
Oh also had conformation that my last day is 15th September!
