Thunder & lightning…
….very very frightening!
Bags all packed with my kit ready for tonight including spare trainers, spare socks, t shirt, towel etc. I am expecting a wet race which could end up being a very wet and muddy race!
Race starts at 7.00pm but have to be there early to collect my chip, it is chip timed which I prefer as your time is spot on and as I am hoping to beat my previous best by only a few seconds chip timing is essential.
Picking my brother up who along with my son are coming along to support me. To be honest I am aiming for 48 minutes but like I said in the previous post I had rather an unhealthy weekend. I think if I really want to improve my personal bests I have got to start taking it more seriously. The running training I am good with it is just my diet I could improve and I could also do with a bit more weight work!
Well, the Saab Salomon Forest Trail Sherwood Pines 10k here I come! (what a mouthful!)
Race report tomorrow.

Not prepared!
Don’t feel very confident about tomorrow nights 10k! Have overindulged rather a lot this weekend so I am feeling bloated this morning.
Running over the weekend was 4 on Friday, 6 on Saturday and an easy 3 on Sunday tonight will be carb loading!
Weather forecast for Tuesday night is a bit dodgy, heavy showers, thunder and lightning!
But I will give it my best, I will have to prepare much better for the one on the 19th. My current best for the 10k is 49.20 so it is definitely beatable!
cheers

Running or Drinking?
And the winner is drinking!
Surprise surprise, no running last night as went to the pub & sat outside having a pint watching the pretty girls go by!
Running this weekend though & making home made vodka jaffa cakes with my daughter.
Have a good one & see you on the other side

Fat bottomed girls!
Went for a bike ride last night in the heat wave and really enjoyed it did the blue route at Sherwood Pines this is the intermediate one and was pretty easy. Though will have to buy a helmet if I want to do the tougher route. Some of the tracks had large stones on which made it interesting at speed.
Due to the heat at the moment I am not going to set any training run targets for the next couple of weeks. Just go out and run and see how I feel. Tonight I am going to go out about 7.00pm it might be a bit cooler by then.
Have decided to run the 10k next week at Sherwood Pines in my trail shoes I have not run a race in them yet but the extra grip may be useful. After riding round some of the course last night a lot of it is quite sandy!
My shoes of choice are Adidas, my road running ones are Adidas Supernova Cushion 6 and my trail shoes are Adidas Kanadia TR.
in a rather fetching colour scheme exclusive to the Sweatshop and very good they are too, great value for money!
cheers

Poorly
Set off in the early evening heat to do a steady six miles but only managed four! With two miles to go I suddenly felt very ill so had to walk home. Desperately needed the loo and am still suffering a bit this morning. Don’t know if it was the heat or something I have eaten.
It is another very hot day today so no running tonight but I think I may go for a bike ride. A bit of cross training would do me good and make a change. I have also got a bit of a tight knee am a bit in the wars at the moment perhaps I need a rest!
cheers
