Cardiff for me today then 7 nights away in a row - 3 pleasure, 3 in Uni and 1 in work. Leave home for Blackpool tomorrow, Monday heading from Blackpool to Coventry as I'm starting a Post Grad Cert in Strategic Leadership in University of Warwick, then down to Swindon on Thurs. luckily there will be a gym on campus so running should be fine.
well 10 miles for me today what a difference in the weather a couple of days makes slight chill in the air but the sun was out and i even managed to get out in a t-shirt and running vest hope for more of the same on Sunday
Hi kev - nice one. Im looking at a bit of trail running - they have thr Trailblazer 10k in Forest of Dean in May - im going to go for that one - i entered for this year but turned up the day AFTER the evevt !!!! Lol
well off to our friends later for the last of our 3 in a row for this year she has however tempted me and Poohbear to run the Swindon 10k in November so that will be a extra one again this year but our race calendar is nearly done now with just the Boscombe 10k at the end of November and a Santa’s on the run fun run left for this year
well Devizes H/M done and dusted yet another soaking again today no PB for as i was running with my friend and we both on for another sub 2hr race despite the rain that’s until we hit mile 12 were they sent us up a lane which was Ok despite being a quagmire until we reach the point when it sloped steeply up at that point my friend said she had to walk as her legs were going so she told me to go on
i managed to cover the last mile in time to come home in 1:58:42 my friend finished in the end in 2:01:25 a good course there were a couple of really steep hills in it but no worse than Swindon the only down side of today is that everything was ether soaking wet or covered in mud
so that’s this year’s three in a row done may well run a couple of different races next year for a change
Kevin looks like a busy year for you next year all I’ve booked so far is
Bath H/M in 2nd March
Brighton Marathon 6th April
But am going to put holiday forms in to allow me to run
Longleat in February, Bristol 10k, Bristol half, also my 3 in a row in October (race to be decided at a later date) and the Boscombe 10k at the end of November also my run either the Chew Stock 10k or Bradley stoke 10k will decided later as there run on the same day and the Swindon 10k if we find it Ok this time and not forgetting the Santa’s on the run fun run in December
Wow you guys are busy!!! I feel very inadequate!!! Only got Christmas cracker 10k booked in december!!!
Looking at doing bristol 10k & FOD trailblazer 10k in May - will check price of trailblazer and let you know KEV. I may get discount cos im ancient !!!!! LOL
Forgot to say i ran 4 miles this morn in the pissing rain and awful head wind and enjoyed it totally !!!! Lol no wonder my friends and family think im bonkers )
well no running for me this week i have decided to take a week out although did do some cross training this morning in the shape of house work have to say i haven’t looked at my running shoes yet there still were i left them on Sunday under the radiator were they were left to dry out will have to have a look and see how bad they are and if there dry yet
ok week off now finished must get back to it On Monday and as we now only have about 5 weeks before my training program for Brighton kicks in i may well start now by doing two 5milers and an 8 in the week and 10 on a Friday haven’t managed an20 mile run for some time now what with doing the 3 H/M in a row so may wait till the end of November then have i crack at one
I’m not going for a time this year as i have decided to run with my daughter so i may actually get to enjoy the views this year from the cliff top instead of head down and going for it
Just 5 miles for me yesterday i was going out for a run but the weather was just too bad and after 2 soaking’s just didn’t fancy another one so it was into the garage to used the treadmill while watching wreck it Ralph on DVD
just 5 miles for me yesterday sat down after the run and worked out my training plan for Brighton it’s basically the same one I’ve used every year but with a few more tweaks to it then working it back from the 6th of April it turns out week 1 is the first week of December so that give me just over 4 weeks till it kicks off
