Morning all! Well, not only do I seem to be first, I have already done a 5K run round the block. Had an early night, got up really wanting a road run despite planned gym session this afternoon, so threw on yesterday's rank clothes and out I went. Not a brilliant speed - 28 mins - but 1.5 minutes off previous PB for the route set about a month ago.
Today: Gym. Bodypump, intervals and swim.
Why: Yesterday's session, because I did today's 7-mile run yesterday.
Last hard day: Thursday.
Last rest day: Friday.
Sassie! SASSIE! Come on! We're waiting! How was it for you last night?

What: 6 mile easy
Why: yesterdays gym session waas a bit more intense than it was meant to be.
Was meant to be doing an 18 or 20 miler today but am saving that pleasure for tomorrow morning. One of the perks of not having a proper job.
Well done for getting up and out so early V-rap. Is this early morning thing going to continue?
Hope you have a good one tomorrow.
why - hard 7M yesterday inc timed session
last hard - Sat
last rest - Fri
I thought I'd try a different 4M route mostly off road and get the trial shoes on again. I knew it was an up a hill, across a ridge and down again route but I haven't realised the ridge keeps going up. So thats a 170m climb and worse a 170m descent. So much for a recovery.
This pm we are going with Ludlow juniors to the Cardingmill Valley - a national trust site of amazing beauty - if you are inn Shropshire at any time go - its near Church Stretton
Why: last longish run before GNR next week
Had an easy week as hurt myself last sunday overdoing it, feeling good & ready for Gateshead next week. Good luck to everyone at Windsor, I ran part of the course this morning & I wished I was doing it myself, next year now.
What: 15 miler
Why: Weekly long run
Last hard run: Today
Last rest day: Friday
Congrats to all you marathon training/long runners, I wish 10.5 miles counted as an 'easy' day for me! Look forward to hearing about Loch Ness and Windsor.
What: 2.5 miles with kids (slow jog), 7 miles on my own.
Why: last minute preparation for junior Great North next Sat. My 8 yr old found it a struggle as she got a stitch. Have promised bribes in the shape of new shorts & drinks bottles for next weekend. Then meant to do a good hard 1/2m paced run by myself but once I got going I didn't quite have the energy to go fast, God knows why as yesterday was an easy day.
Last hard: Thurs
Last rest: Fri.
What: Nothing
Why: The race I’ve been organising – Derwentside 10 - was on today and it’s left me more wiped out than if I’d run it
Will
why: b/f wanted to run off road in his new fell shoes
last run: friday
last rest: Saturday
nice to get away from roads for once, but had a horrible treacle run - heartrate only 154ish (usually 164ish) but sounding like a steam train. either gone horribly unfit over night or still feeling effects of last w/end's half.
Why: trying to get into an early Sunday morning routine.
Last run: Thurs 3.8 miles plus Friday night football.
Last hard session: yesterday. Didn't get to post it so here it is. 1 lap of our very hilly two lap cross country course followed by hill reps. Only 12km ish in total, but strenuous. Why? didn't manage a decent session on Thursday because I was running with the juniors. The woods were deserted yesterday - only a single rider in the whole hour! Excellent session, making the most of the continuing mild spell.
Run well!

Still not closed the door on Waterbeach (juggling family committments) but if we don't 'speak' before have a good one - you're a star
