BF What is the significance between having a bath and being off to Lambourne?!!
(it was in the sale)
JJ
it wasnt that cold
short little plod done
Ceal it won't be so bad once you get otu there! Wasn't quite as cold as expected this morning!
Still feeling a bit sluggish, running without the dogs was wonderful on Sunday, its a pity that I don't have enough hours in the day so that i acn do them seperately!
Hi Ceal, lovely to have you back. I really missed you!
Well, I have to go out for a run today. It is grey and dark here. YAWNNN!
BF, great news about your mum!
Hi Maggie, JJ, Pammie, Pussy, Hippo and DDP!
I decided to do a tempo run. Ran just over an hour with 40 mins in the middle at a pace just outside the comfort zone. Whole run totalled around 7.5 miles. Legs felt quite strong, knees recovering from the punishing walking thankgoodness.
Spud have you still got your shrew?
JJ how are you today,t are you still atacking spreadsheets?
Lovely morning on the Lambourn downs.
Ceal. The bath was for the benefit of the company rather than the location. Although, I smell of horses most of the time so they probably wouldn't have noticed.

I am worried about two things:
1) I ran the 12k but felt very tired. I wouldn't be able to run any further than the 12k at that pace. With Amsterdam so near I think i am not well prepared for it.
2) The place I do all my training can be described as undulating. It goes up and down all the way. Somtimes there is a flat bit of about 100m or so. I run strong uphill but always have the chance to rest a bit downhill. The problem with Amsgerdam is that it is completely flat. I won't have the dwonhill bits to rest. I don't think I can do the 21k at a constant pace.
What do you think?

It is called race nerves what you are suffering from at the moment, very common. I suffer the same way too. When is your race?
I am off now to take my Mum for a flu jab. That tells me that it must really be winter.
First day back running, base training on the treadie 40 minutes keeping heartrate at around 145 bpm it was tough as its always on the treadie tomorrow will be outdors for the same time hopefully.
Firstly, I am so sorry to hear that you have had to back out of the imminent 10k, especially as races are pretty sparse in your neck of the woods. Hope the bug is on the way out now.
Secondly, you have really wet my appetite re your research and the writing of a documentary, I await with anticipation to hear what you are up to. It has to have an comical twist to it, no pussy's, no boats---- you didn't mention no running or sheep did you? Anyway, the best of luck for such a venture. Will you be famous?
Just under 10 weeks to go
Maybe!
