Endorphins akimbo
Yeah, alright it's a training thing, but I don't care. Had a s*it day and wen for a new from of run for me. Half a mile to a running track from my parents place, so Mrs Mini and micro well catered for.
" laps to warm up then... 2 miles at 7mins 46 each.
Followed by wonderful 3 miler through the woods in dappled sunlight. No traffic, clean air. No-one else anywhere.
Possibly my most enjoyable run anywhere anytime, except perhaps Melbourne.
Feel fantastic and endorphins all over the place.

'except perhaps Melbourne'....? Sorry, hadn't realised you were an international athelete!
In March I was asked if I would go to Oz for a fortnight to visit schools there. It was great cos I got some warm weather training in before FLM.
Had some fantastic runs there.
Great run today tho'.
Maybe I should find some rollocks to fall onto.... (that is an R by the way - can't remember how you're meant to spell them - know this isn't right tho !)
I have applied, and if I egt in I'll be ready.
The injuries has really spurred me on.
It'll be a tall order. The down point was withdrawing from GNR which I literally had my heart set on, being an exiled Geordie.
The risk was too great, but I'll be up to seven or so by then, and having joined a club, I hope my performance will improve.
I've never enjoyed sport as much as I am.
Perhaps life really begins at 40?
I'll never be fast, but the enthusiasm's there!
Pre injury I ran 5k in 22mins odd which was shifting for me. I think that equates to 7mins plus a bit per mile- my maths ain't good - I'm a teacher.
I can't join in the enthusiasm for winter running. I have loved being able to run in daylight after work, being able to go out for a walk in daylight before work, being able to wear a t-shirt, shorts and a smear of sunscreen, and regarding headwinds as a cooling bonus. I'm not looking forward at all to mittens and leggings and fleeces and frozen hair and trying to avoid falling on icy pavements. In fact, after last year's injury fiasco I may stick to the treadmill when underfoot gets icy to avoid risking the old ligaments.
As for your age, we've already talked about that, haven't we?
I couldn't run when I was a kid(school cross countries were a source of humiliation)but now feel like I've been running all my life.Can't figure it out.
