WOW!!

That was tough, one weeks training after four weeks off does not get you ready for a half marathon! Did it in 2 hours 2 minutes 25 seconds, slower than my first attempt and nearly 25 minutes off my pb! Though it was a lot hotter, more crowded and I have only just recovered from an Achilles strain! Which is just about better!


Excuses out of the way!

It was a hard race due to the heat and the lack of preparation but I enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great once again and the Red Arrows were superb. Southshields looks a nice place and deserves a visit.

Have now got to buckle down for the Worksop half in about a month so tonight a short shake down of approx 2 miles, rest night tomorrow as I am off to watch the Stags v Oxford Utd and then a longish one Wednesday.

See ya

Sting!

Is the official starter of the Great North Run! along with Steve Harmison (some cricketer!)

No not that one! This one!
Just had my pasta and am drinking lots of water, starting to get very excited now!

see you soon

GNR Countdown!

Even though I shouldn’t have done I went out for a long run last night! I did eight miles and the ankle was not bad. My prediction for my race time is about 2 hours 15 minutes so a lot slower than my pb but I don’t want to aggravate my ankle plus I get to enjoy the atmosphere more.

I am really excited about Sunday can’t wait!

Report to follow.

cheers

Not too bad!

5.96 miles in 51 minutes! quite pleased ankle is sore but ok!

Rest day tomorrow a short run Friday morning!

Now off to watch England v Croatia, see ya

Patsy, Patsy, Patsy

Still no phone call!

Been running today! The first time in five weeks, did 3.32 miles in a very steady 29 minutes. My ankle is not too bad a little bit sore but probably feels the best it has done for a while. Bought an ankle support from Boots, £15!! but seems to help!

With the Great North Run in ten days and my fitness not being too good I am hoping to get some miles in over the next week.

So I am going to see how my ankle is in the morning and if ok then I will be running again tomorrow night and working out a timetable for the next week.

Fingers crossed.

cheers

Not a lot to say!

Still no running think I will have to visit the hospital after the GNR my ankle and leg is not right!

So have been doing lots of press ups and cycling trying to keep my weight in check and I definitely want that six pack!

In other news, I have recently started watching the repeats of 'Lewis' now I was a big fan of "Morse' but did not think that the follow on would be any good! How wrong was I? It is fantastic better than 'Morse' in my opinion, so I have bought series two (£7 from Tesco) and have ordered series one & three! In fact I will be watching another episode later tonight.

Well work tomorrow which I am not looking forward to! My job has over the last year become crap to say the least!

Now where is that lottery ticket?

cheers

High Commissioner!

Lurrerly jubbley!!!

Any way, re hab is going well will definitely be running the GNR will be taking it nice and slowly 2.15hours will be perfect taking in the atmosphere really looking forward to it.

cheers
