Cheques sent!

So hopefully I am in!

Less than two weeks till Retford so a long run is in order tonight so I can see whereabouts my fitness level is at.

I feel pretty good.

Off after today!

Just for a bit.

Running going well, seven miles Sunday and five miles yesterday.

Tonight it is the gym.

I am already for pay day when I will be entering the Retford Half (13/03/11) and the Cotgrave 10k (09/04/11). I am treating the Retford Half as a training run for my marathon in May. The Cotgrave 10k I ran last year and really enjoyed it and it is really cheap.

Mini Duathlon!

Tonight at the gym a 5k run, 15k bike followed by a 5k run!

Then home in time for Arsenal v Barcelona.

Have got to increase my weekly mileage this week has been a bit poor but if I can get out for three more runs this week I will be happy! Just got a lot of stuff going on at the moment.

Thinking about entering the Retford Half marathon which is on the 13th March have done it once before and it is not one of my favourites but I can use it as a training run and it will increase my mileage.

Legs were tired Sunday so I went to the gym, upper body weights and bike.

Cannot believe it is Monday again!

Wednesday night

Gym night only did upper body weights and rower as I wanted to give my legs a rest.

Tonight though is a run six miles at least it is raining at the moment but hopefully it will stop before I leave work. Leaving at four as I want to get it over and done with.

Got confirmation of my Grantham Cup entry so that is three races entered so far in 2011.

Four miles done and....

...the last of the big spenders.

Did my hilly four miler last night went ok. I am currently listening to some 'marathon talk' podcasts these are very good. Have decided to do a gym session tonight to give the old legs a break and I really fancy a sauna.

Last of the big spenders, had defrosted my mince, the pasta sauce was ready but!

I wanted some mushrooms!

So off to ASDA I went, now I did not want many so I picked a few put them in the little brown bag and went to the checkout.

That will be 0.08p!

And very nice they were too.

cheers

Five miles done!

And I enjoyed them so much I might run again tonight instead of going to the gym!

cheers

Grantham Cup 10k entered

April the 3rd an off road trail 10k with a very steep hill. Great value for money £8.00 and this includes a family pass to the Belton International Horse Trials! Did it last year in 48.28 so hopefully will be a little bit quicker this year.

It is really windy today but I am leaving work at four and I am going for a steady five mile run, the plan this week is;

Monday 5 miles
Tuesday Gym
Wednesday 6 or 8 miles
Thursday 5 miles
Friday Gym
Saturday 3 miles and Gym
Sunday Ten miles plus

So that will see me run a total of approx 30 miles and three gym sessions. Due to the very steep hill at the Grantham Cup 10k I will need to get some hill practice in but that can start next week.

Tune in every day this week to see how I get on.

cheers
