The Winter Blues

Training Day : 60
Session : Run
Distance : 7.12m
Avg/mile : 9.01 / mile

Time : 1hr 04min 10secs

I had to run today even although it was meant to be a rest day but I had taken yesterday off.

I had been suffering with a cold and an upset stomach for the last few days so I really wasn't looking forward to it but I managed to get out of work early and headed out for a 7 miler with Debbie.  I enjoy running with Debbie but she hates it as for some reason I slow her down.  Not sure how that happens but it does.  Anyway the run went well and I was glad to take it easier as my upset stomach was giving me problems at even this pace.  Very glad to get back to the house especially as Debbie upped the pace at the end.  Normal service resumes tomorrow. Bah!

Catch up

Training Day : 31 - 58
Session : N/A
Distance : 95.2 m
Avg/mile : N/A

Time : A long long time....

First of all I have to apologise.  I am rubbish.  I haven't kept up at all with my blog over the last month.  Can I blame anything?  Can I blame Debbie going away to Kilimanjaro, can I blame having the cold (which of course Debbie doesn't think I had), Work?  No, I cant blame anyone or anything.  I got lazy and after falling behind I couldn't be bothered or maybe the word is ar$ed to up date it all.  Hey I couldn't even remember what sessions I have done recently.  So I have decided to update it all at once and then hopefully continue where I left off with a blog for every training day.

Anyway, what have I been up to.  I have ran a few of the relays and really enjoyed them.  Good speed sessions and some long runs.  I thought that I was running well and then I added up the the mileage to find out that I have only ran 95 miles in 28 days.  Hey what the hell, I feel good and that is all that matters.RIMG0519

Debbie just got rid of her car.  I may have mocked it cause it really couldn't pull you out of bed in the morning but I'll miss the wee thing.  It was a reliable car that always ran even though I mocked it and Debbie was embarrassed to be seen in it.
