Gym on a Sunday!
Yes I went last night!
The weather forecast this week is terrible so yet again most of my running will be done indoors at the gym. It is not as good as pounding the pavements but as I have paid my membership I might as well run while watching TV.
Also this week I think I may do a few classes at the gym a colleague of mine who is a member of the same gym has suggested I try a step class she says that unfortunately I will be the only man in the class!!!! Which seems a perfect reason to do the class and it will make a change.
Currently doing a 4 x 500m session on the rowing machine as part of my workout, now this is serious hard work rowing 500m in two minutes then a minute recovery. I burn off 33 calories in two minutes so 132 calories in eight minutes rowing! Trust me you know you have had a workout!
In other news, super Notts won again I just wish the season would end now!

21/03/10 Lincoln City 10k Race Report
Arrived in Lincoln very early the car parking was well signposted so no problems the race was set to start at 11.00am so lining up in the sub 50 minutes section I waited for the start! Here was my first problem I got cold and then when the hooter went I set off too quickly. The route was pretty good with plenty of support. However I did my normal trick and needed a toilet break at about 7k this cost me a couple of minutes and any chance of beating my pb!
The finish was a bit rough as it was cobbled and I had nothing left for the sprint. But it was nice running past the Cathedral and finishing in the castle grounds. My time was a slightly disappointing 46.38.
Met up with my family which was a miracle as there were thousands of people around the finish and had a very nice fish & chip lunch. Which was while eating my lunch I discovered I had split both my trainers so yesterday I had a trip to the local outlet and got some new adidas running shoes at half price. I will be trying them out tonight for the first time with a steady five miles.
My next race is not until the 18th of April another new one at Belton House which I am looking forward too.

14/03/10 Kilomathon Race Report
Ready and raring for the first ever (as we were constantly reminded!) Kilomathon™ arrived at the start with plenty of time met up with a few club members and then waited. It was sunny but cold and I was pleased I had worn my thermal top. The race started at 9.00am and as usual I needed a wee straight away luckily there was a portaloo just before the start so I did not lose any time!
The route was good quite flat and I was feeling pretty confident of achieving my predicted time of 2 hours 15 minutes. At about 17k I started running with a women from Birstall Running Club who kept me going until about 24k when I had to speed up to get my desired time. Rounding the last corner I saw my Mother and Brother. The corner lead onto Meadow Lane which was where the finish was. Now my beloved Notts County is on a Meadow Lane in Nottingham so my brother shouted ‘come on David run down Meadow Lane’ or something like that! So I could see the finish and started sprinting however it was about 400 metres away but I gritted my teeth and came through the finish totally spent. I left nothing on the route.
My time?
2 hours 10 minutes 16 seconds!
Five minutes better than I had hoped, well pleased!
