Was very busy last night, did 10k on the bike then some weights.
I’m hoping it stays fine today as my schedule dictates a 7 mile run tonight.
Can’t wait till Friday this week seems to be really dragging and I have got nothing else to tell you about.
So until next time.

Still training….
…but still have not decided if I am running Mansfield.
Did not get out Sunday morning as it was chucking it down, did do seven miles last night and it was pretty good but a bit humid.
The plan this week is to alternate running with the gym which should hopefully see me visit the gym three times and achieve a weekly mileage of approx 34 miles.
I am also getting in to this 100 press up (push up) challenge, the challenge is (obviously!) to do 100 press ups in one go! This morning I did 50 and could have done a few more. A lad at work is training for it and there was an article in this months ‘Men’s Health’ magazine and there is also a website. I will keep you informed.
The World Cup starts Friday which I am looking forward to and it is the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend so I will have to fit my training around lots of TV sport this weekend.
cheers

Phew!!
It was a hot one this morning!
Training carries on at pace for the Mansfield Half. Ran 7 miles this morning started at 8.45am and it was red hot had to stop three times because of the heat.
Did a little experiment weighed myself before I started and when I finished and I had lost 2lbs must have all been in sweat.
But will be doing another seven tomorrow, should be cooler.
cheers

Mansfield Half Marathon 27th June!
Have not sent my money off yet for this one as I was not going to do it this year. Although I managed to do my personal best half marathon time at last years race it is a really boring route.
But I have started a half marathon training schedule this week with a view to entering if the next couple of weeks training goes ok. So far this week I have run twelve miles with an expected weekly total of thirty five.
I am feeling pretty good and am enjoying the increased mileage.
Tonight is a steady five miles followed by some weights at the gym. I am off work tomorrow for some r & r and it is my daughter’s 18th birthday party Saturday night! Am I really old enough to have an eighteen year old daughter!!!!
Have a good one
Ps just noticed I have not done a race report for Wymeswold, will get that up soon.

Busy, busy, busy
But with a race coming up this Sunday! Only a five miler but I want to get under 40 minutes I have managed one trip to the gym and one 6 mile run! If the weather holds out today the plan is a five miler and then some weight work! Have had a challenge from my 16 year old son, who can get the best six pack!! So lots of training as I don’t want to be totally embarrassed.
I think I am going down town Friday night, always interesting!
Saturday is FA cup final day so carb loading in front of the TV, as for other stuff, not been up to much! Have started reading more but am really trying to up my weekly mileage still have not decided about a marathon this year! Did enter the ballot for the 2011 London marathon but you have to wait until October to find out if you are in or not, fingers crossed.
Well better get the old nose back to the grindstone, pip pip.
