>bounces in as happy as a Pixie can be<
So training yes well err um ... THE PIXIE IS BACK IN TRAINING!
Oh and I'm loving it!
Last week I did 3 runs outside each one a smidge further in the same time so faster! Friday I was feeling all happy in the sun and did my 1st mile in 11:21! OK so I slowed after that but I was very happy! Today I was very aware of not doing a storming 1st mile .... and instead of doing 2.48m I did 2.62m thereby averaging 11:27!
I really focused on not giving up and dropping the pace - my phrase of choice was "the treadmill won't slow down or stop until you press the button at 30mins" and it worked! OK so my splits weren't supper even but they were 12:00 11:22 and 6:39 (10:40 pace!) so I didn't slow down! In fact today for the first time I actually started to believe that I would get a PB at the RFL in July and that the 5k in September may just may be near the golden 30mins!
I'm really enjoying being back out there, in fact yesterday (rest day) I wanted to go for a potter but schedule said rest and I had done 6 sessions in a row for the first time err probably this year!
Talking of this year ... last week had my highest running mileage of the year and April was my highest mileage for the month this year too! In fact in week 16 and 17 of 2005 and 2006 I clocked up zero miles so that must be an improvement!
So yep I am back in training and loving it!
Oh and as a side comment - looks like slimming lady is dropping work due to falling numbers.
