BOOM!!!

I am missing the gym!

I have not got a race for ages!!

Rubbish!

Football tonight!

Looking forward to it! I am a big kid at heart and love scoring goals!

This week I have mostly been going to the gym,I have now decided I want BIG arms so am doing a lot of weights. Not good for my running but I was never going to win a race anyway and keeping fit is what it is all about.

This weekend it is the Mansfield Half Marathon and I am not running it. I just don't like the route it is really boring and the weather forecast for Sunday is red hot!

Anyway I am seeing Charlotte and Sam and we are off to Nottingham on Saturday.I am looking at buying a digital camera, I want to spend no more than £80 but the choice is staggering! Hopefully a decision will be made this weekend.

cheers

Summer Solstice 10k

The first running of this road race by Grantham RC and very good it was too! The weather was a bit wet only a light drizzle which was good to run in. My time was 46.29 slightly disappointing if I had known the route it could have been slightly quicker. As I would have kicked for home earlier than the last corner.

Included in the very reasonable entry fee was a bottle of real ale brewed especially and a burger at the pub across the road from the finish!

Will enter next year, very good.

Got an email from Experian offering me a reduced price entry into this years Robin Hood (Nottingham) Half or Full Marathon.

Now then!

Which one?

Half?

or

Full?

HELP!!!!

Rampton Hospital 10k Report

Well not my fastest 47.36 but not too bad as there were a couple of hills and I am still a bit sore from footy.

Will do it again though as it is local, friendly and cheap.

Now for the Canadian GP.

5 a side football - phew!

First time I have played in about two years, really enjoyed it. Bit of a niggle in my right calf though I think it is the quick changes in direction not used to it. Scored two cracking goals and was on the winning side.

Think I will play a lot more often although I cannot play next week as I have a race. The Summer Solstice 10k at Long Bennington where all finishers get a bottle of real ale and a free gourmet burger BARGAIN.

cheers

Training run tonight

Just a short one around the mean streets of Ollerton might incorporate some sprints!

Really want to get under 45 minutes for 10k.

cheers

46.44 my chip time

Not too bad!

Rubbish!

Just under 47 minutes!

Felt tired all the way round and it was hot don't know what was up it was a decent route but just did not feel right.

Oh well try again next week, it's the Rampton 10k.

cheers
