Mansfield Half Marathon 27th June!

Have not sent my money off yet for this one as I was not going to do it this year. Although I managed to do my personal best half marathon time at last years race it is a really boring route.

But I have started a half marathon training schedule this week with a view to entering if the next couple of weeks training goes ok. So far this week I have run twelve miles with an expected weekly total of thirty five.

I am feeling pretty good and am enjoying the increased mileage.

Tonight is a steady five miles followed by some weights at the gym. I am off work tomorrow for some r & r and it is my daughter’s 18th birthday party Saturday night! Am I really old enough to have an eighteen year old daughter!!!!

Have a good one

Ps just noticed I have not done a race report for Wymeswold, will get that up soon.

My knee's have gone all trembly!

I'm on my way to Wembley!!!

C'mon ENGLAND!!!

Busy, busy, busy

But with a race coming up this Sunday! Only a five miler but I want to get under 40 minutes I have managed one trip to the gym and one 6 mile run! If the weather holds out today the plan is a five miler and then some weight work! Have had a challenge from my 16 year old son, who can get the best six pack!! So lots of training as I don’t want to be totally embarrassed.

I think I am going down town Friday night, always interesting!

Saturday is FA cup final day so carb loading in front of the TV, as for other stuff, not been up to much! Have started reading more but am really trying to up my weekly mileage still have not decided about a marathon this year! Did enter the ballot for the 2011 London marathon but you have to wait until October to find out if you are in or not, fingers crossed.

Well better get the old nose back to the grindstone, pip pip.

I’m still here, honest!

Next race the 16th of May!

The Wymeswold Waddle!

Only five miles but should be a giggle!

cheers
