LONDON MARATHON 2012

I’M IN!!!

Third time lucky and I am so excited!

It is on my Mum’s birthday and it is Olympic year. The best (imo) marathon in the world and I am running it.

Happy, Happy, Happy!!

Oh and I ran six miles on Wednesday and my ankle was ok.

Edwinstowe 10k

Missed this one last year as it was already full. But have got in nice and early as I really like this one as it is local and can be nice and muddy.

4th of December Forest Corner, Edwinstowe.

cheers

Para 10

In!

If!

My ankle and knee ever get better I am thinking about doing the Para 10!

What I hear you ask?

Well, it is a ten mile run!

But at Catterick on the Parachute Regiments training course you run ten miles in boots carrying 35lbs in a bergan (army rucksack) the Para's do it in less than 1hr 50min. I would just like to get round! It is not until next September so I have plenty of time to bottle out.

cheers

Ankles gone again!

Fed up!

Managed another 3!

Back of my right knee hurting I think maybe I have been doing to much rowing at the gym! Though I am not sure, it is really annoying!!

Anyway will wait and see how it feels in the morning will probably go out for a short run after the Grand Prix, c'mon Button.

cheers

Only about 3.5 miles

Though that did include Ollerton Pit hill which I still cannot run up in one go.

Have decided to go out again later about 5.30pm need to get back to where I was!

Ankle was a bit sore to start of with but soon loosened up back of the knee is still niggling but not enough to stop me going out.

The gym is good but you can't beat a good run.

cheers

Kill or cure!

Going for a run in the morning. Figured it may do me good not far about 5 miles.

Want to get back into it need to focus on something.

cheers

Gym visit done!

But I feel really poorly, was ill earlier in the week and I thought I was better.

Had planned a busy and fun weekend but as I am feeling rough I think I may be taking it easy.

cheers

Went to the gym!

Have not run for weeks! My achilles feels fine but I have a niggle behind my right knee:(

So the plan is gym Friday & Saturday! Running on Monday!

I am staying at my parents so the run will be scenic and about three miles might include a big hill!! will see. Need to start up again and get ready for Clowne in November. I know it is a while yet but would like to beat my previous time.

Also got to decide on my marathon for 2012? If yet again I don't get in London should I do Nottingham cheap and local or I quite fancy Paris in the springtime?

Decided to do one (at least!) marathon a year they are really hard work BUT the feeling when you cross that finish line is just the BEST!!

cheers

ps. and I have got to get under four hours!
