Well done weekend runners - SC, LmH & Mark
Busy weekend so didn't get a chance to post
Saturday - easy 5 over the fields running in the new Innov8s, junior awards night in the evening. I ate my own body weight in cake...
Sunday - First Southern XC league race (my club hosted, and the village running club's first event). Plan was to run 'comfortably hard' ahead of next week's county XC, and improve on 90-somethingth place from last year.
First mile a bit punchy in ~6:40, but eased back to something more sustainable. That said, I was always moving through the field. Surprisingly went past a few of our guys who I rarely see, and finished 66th (male) and 37.24 for 5.4miles. Such were the numbers we had out, I was only 12th finisher for the club!
Joint first team overall.
Village team had a decent turnout, and finished 10th (of 24 teams) which was an excellent result.
Topped that off with another 5 miles recovery in the afternoon.
Today - easy lunchtime
why - recovery
last rest - 11/9
last hard - yesterday
Even though I have woken half asleep I recognise the lyrics (perhaps because I used them recently!)!
Yesterday's lyrics were Yesterday by The Beatles.
What: fitness suite plus gardening plus maybe walk a few ks
Why: trying to maintain fitness plus am re-arranging the vegetable plot prior to possible building work. Forecast to stay dry...
Dustin, agree with you having read all the article on PR.
Alehouse busy busy , hope you are getting there
dustin well done to your team! Lots of running for you
sc hope dentist goes well and enjoy the short and easy
busy weekend running for me, my local park run I pb's by a minute (not a 5k pb just a course) first my category. And there were 4 this time not 1 in my cat!! ha ha. Then yesterday I did Tring Ridgeway run. Absolutely glorious, very tough by I loved it and that was my 4th time.
Lots of grand kid cuddles too!
WHat: little mile I think...
why: a bit tired
last hard: yesterday
last rest: 31/12
have a good day all
LMH wow 20 mins early that could be a nightmare! But well done you and Mark, great stuff
WP hope your back is ok today.
CHicksta wow love your photos!!
SC Sorry race did not go to plan for you yesterday but well done on running the 10k
LMH: Great result for you ad Mark
Chick: lovely to see you running and glorious
photo's
Wabo: It sounds a great weekend and with cuddles as well:-)
Back is being a proper pain but I am doing all I can and started some lower back stretches.I went for a walk it was slow and a little ouchy so only over a mile walked.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Hope the weather improves for you chicksta - hotter and more humid than usual for the time of year, but I’m not complaining!
Nice racing Dustin, sounds as though your coaching of the village team is paying dividends too.
That was a good result at parkrun and an enjoyable weekend all round then Wabo
Double well done Wabo! How far was the Ridgeway run? And how quick a course is your local parkrun compared to others that you do?
Not much gardening done as I picked a couple of kilos of green tomatoes so had to make rather a lot of chutney which is now slow-cooking away.
A walk shortly but it is getting ominously dark. Fitness suite later.
Having to up the mileage
last hard: see above
last rest: Saturday ( unless you include driving)
lyrics no even if they have been done recently
4.85 miles undulating and steady at 10m plus per mile. OH I aspire :-) Storud half number arrived today....decisions...
I thought you’d managed to obtain refunds on all your planned races SC?
