Wednesday - Have to start training

I though it was about time I caught up!!!!
A lot has happened over the last week or so and I haven't had much time to sit down with it!!!!!

The overview:-

Since last weekend when I ran without a number in a 10K - just because I could, and because I love running, and because I was in the best company, and it was all about the moment.....
I have....

worked all week - No running (oops)

- been back down to Londinium - for the London social where I met a whole bunch of great people, and spent the weekend just where I wanted to be!!

Back to Liverpool for the most interminably boring Study Day....
...then popped to Glasgow for the evening and a hug and a Pizza....


So obviously - now I have my Sensible Head well and truly back on my shoulders......


...what......????

life is for living and you only get the one chance - so you had best make the best of it!!!!

;o)

I also did a couple of things
I entered 3 races for a start...

See over there -------->

I realised that if I'm going to have a running goal, that I had better think a bit more carefully about my training and running - and part of that means actually getting out there and doing some!!!!!!

I'm going to have to be disciplined about running to work and getting miles on my feet.... and I started the campaign with a truly fantastic long run around Richmond Park at the Weekend....

You know how it is...
...have trainers
...and HRM
...and Garmin
...and opportunity.............

will run!!!!!

So the plan was for either 10+ Miles - Run to the Park - run all the way round it - run back home....

OR..

13+ Miles doing a figure of 8 around the Park....
Guess which we did...........??
And Base Trainers, be VERY pround of me!!!!!!!!

Showed me a few things.....
I'm a bit unfit - look at the drift in the last 5!!!!!!
...and legs were well and truly 'tired' by the end

I need to look at the way I run on my Left foot - the one I injured Way-Back-When.
I realised that I supinate on it, which is putting a lot of strain on the ligament that I 'tweaked' last time. So it was a bit sore and I really don't want THAT injury again!!!!

Cold and icy baths are the BEST
Leg recovery was so quick..
So - I need to get training then.....

Sensibly though.......
