End of August and autumn has arrived!

Chucking it down so last night not being able to convince myself to run in the rain although needing lots more miles in my legs. Off I went to the nice warm dry gym and ran 10k on the treadmill and I hate the treadmill it’s so boring!

But the Russian Ice Queen was there!

Have I not mentioned her before?

Well she is a stunning eastern European blonde with a figure to make a grown man cry and I do!

But she knows it big time and if looks could kill I would be six feet under and I have never seen her smile.

Anyway time for my medication, oh and it’s still raining.

Cheers

I HATE BANKS AND...

...CALL CENTRES!!

Cows, scary dog and lots of rain!

Ran to my brothers yesterday about six miles there and six miles back. Not a bad run but was a bit worried about some random cows and a big massive German Shepherd. Also got sopping wet on the way home but it was a good training run and a few more miles in my old legs before the fast approaching Nottingham Half.

Gym visit tonight followed by some family history research a bit in the local paper about some chap researching his Great Uncle who just happens to be my Great Granddad.

Have also sent of my entry fee for the Mansfield 5k Classic Road Race which is on Friday the 3rd September. Should be fun and I get a free supper.

See you soon

Summer League and…..

….not entering the survival of the fittest!

First of all the ‘Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest’ too expensive for a 10k with bells on!

But I have entered the 2010 Nottingham Half Marathon which is on the 12th of September so lot’s of training required. Managed to get a cheap entry which includes a running vest.

Also ran in the seasons last Notts Summer League club race which was at Tethersall on Wednesday and it was great. Just under six miles on a trail and road course and I did it in 45 minutes and felt pretty good. I loved the competitive element and am already looking forward to next year.

So have got to get cracking on some long runs in the next few weeks hopefully the weather will improve.
