| Location: LIVERPOOL,UK Member Since: Sep 27, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Olympic Trials Qualifier Running Accomplishments: Triathlons are my New sport and I LOVE IT Recent last few years as I havent done much since I was 16/17yrs, on and off injuries, going out with Friends started. Operations on injuries- compartment syndrome front of the shin had small operation to release the pressure on the fascia.
Oct 2007. Did the great north run. ( I was in the elite ladies race, against Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe, Im sure u Americans will recall that race). I was just in on my previous times from the Bath Half Marathon. I ran it as best as I could off my training & circumstances...
Decided to do my 1st Marathon with London looming in the following April I was in the ladies Elite race again. So the training was on. I realise now I didnt give my body enough time to recover as it did break down in the last 5 weeks of my training. Injury bound, with calf and hamstring problems I raced! London Marathon, April 08 (Injury calf issues) 1st marathon 3hrs.12mins .30 secs
Dublin Marathon Oct 08 3hrs.01mins.13 undulating and 1 toilet stuck/stop (LOL)

 World’s Biggest Cookie
In 2003, Immaculate Baking Co. created a 40,000-pound chocolate-chip cookie measuring over 100 feet in diameter to capture the record for World’s Biggest Cookie. Ingredients used were 6,000 pounds of chocolate chips, 12,200 pounds of unbleached flour, 6,525 pounds of unsalted butter, 5,000 pounds of granulated sugar, 3,370 pounds of dark brown sugar, 184 pounds of salt, 79 pounds of baking soda, 30,000 whole eggs and 10 gallons of pure vanilla. Engineered in Hendersonville, North Carolina, the cookie was baked in a structureless 7,850-foot oven—specially designed for the big cookie—in convective heat, for five to six hours. Following the event, the cookie was cut and sold, and 100% of the proceeds were donated to the Folk Artist's Foundation. Photo courtesy of Immaculate Baking Company via ImmaculateBaking.com.
World’s Largest Slab of Fudge
The world's largest slab of fudge was created by Chantelle Gorham, the owner of Northwest Fudge Factory, a fudge wholesale company located in Ontario, Canada. The photo above is of her third record-breaking slab (beating out her other two records), which weighed 5,050 pounds and was made of marbled white and dark chocolate fudge. It was displayed at the New Sudbury Shopping Center, also in Ontario, in May 2007 to promote her now-booming fudge-making business. Photo courtesy of Chantelle Gorham via NorthwestFudgeFactory.com.

I did a 4.3 mile route that I can run which is soft under foot but not too soft, and my son can cycle some of..... it was early evening and still lots of people around the beach etc, so to avoid these was hard. but I had a good run and even picked the pace up on the 2nd to last mile then jogged in. Happy dayz very hot dayz :)

gym in the afternoon 15 mins xtrainer level 6 core work and weights. crunches slow 50 swiss ball med ball plank tuck unders later on early evening I ran to my sons football in Hightown Roads. and had my calf support on just in case 5.5 miles 38.12 mins average marathon pace or just under 7 min mile pace. Yes it felt great until mile 4 then I held on.... it wasnt particularly fast or hard but uncomfortable I didnt push it big time knowing my calf and hip are still recovering but one of my better runs and it cleared some of my frustrations with not running fast. Happy dayz Arm Warmers for the swiss alpine marathon as its in the mountains they say you may need arm warmers never worn them never needed them what do you all say please help do they annoy do they work ??????

| Wirral Bikeathon with my son Dylan 11 yrs old with his team ! Sports friends. I do believe it was supposed to be 28 miles my watch said 31 miles ha ha 31 miles.... I am putting in 10 easy miles for this. Although it did actually ease my acheing muscles.... but the hills did make my Quads a little sore this morning :) good hill work for the swiss marathon though! Dylan did great didnt winge once really enjoyed it and even moaned his dad was cycling to slow. I must admit Paul is used to reasonably flat cycling at my running pace so it was kinda harder than he thought it would be. Well done to everyone that did the full 31 miles impressive and the best part was every 7 miles we got a toilet/drink/biscuit/ and stamp station stamp was to prove you went around the full course! I loved the biscuits and fuelled up with those allot ha ha ha Kept sending Dylan back for more... They also had free bike repairs at the stations... why dont they do that in Marathons free feet massage or repair or trainer/ or in Chris M's case Plastic clog repair LOL |

| Session day my legs felt good even after the weekends hard long bike ride and long run ! 10 mins xtrainer level 6 stretch
1 mile warm up 13kmh = 1% gradient 7.20min pace 4 x 1 mile now what I did was due to the treadmill only goes to 16kmh I ramped the pace up to 16kmh then started the mile I took exactly 0.3km each time to get to the pace so I had to add that on to the 1.6km for the mile so really I was doing 1.9 km each rep but Im counting it as a mile. 3.30 mins recovery between each could have done 3 mins for my cardio but my legs needed that extra 30 secs to be on the safe side :)
1. 5.56mins 2. 5.56mins 3. 5.56mins 4. 5.52mins well I ran the full mile at 1.5% gradient so I actually did more of an effort for longer as its at this pace but still actually took 5.56mins lol The gym was pretty empty... this pace felt comfortably hard not too hard, but I did feel my calf tightening during each mile rep..... stretched off during the recovery jog.... I did sing a few lines every now and again at this pace so I was slightly impressed with myself he he chuckling.... I even had a small grin on the last one I think I could have done 1 more but it would have been too risky with my calf so I really enjoyed the last one it was hard but not really hard.
1 mile warm down at 8 min pace stretch 15 mins xtrainer level 7 and 8 I pushed it on the xtrainer and the puke raised its head but did not have a show today.... good session Im glad for that ha ha
Core work with swiss ball press ups 20,20,20,20,23 I struggled today on these but I have just done mile reps so this must be why of course lol

| Xtrainer warm up.....15 mins level 5 I wanted to run some sand dunes today do a bit of mileage run easy...so I ran without my watch. I knew I left at 2pm... and returned at 3.25.. this inc a toilet stop and twice I stopped to stretch to make sure my calves were okay which they were till I hit the road for the last half mile urghhhh the calf tightened up didnt go so not injured just a bit sore. It was a hot day and I really enjoyed the sun and running easy it was a real nice get out and enjoy yourself run no pressure.....running up hills I love but running down even more so Its like your flying I just let myself go its great fun and like being a big kid ha ha! I caused an accident too omg...some person pulled up along side me on the last half mile and wound down the window and was saying summit but I couldnt hear my music was loud... so I turned it down and said "Ya what" and bang he drove into a car infront of him omg I burst out laughing I had to carry on running it was only a bump at 5mph so I dont think much damage would have happened but it did make me chuckle LOL!

supposed to be a rest day Saturdays but I have rested enough this week! so 4.5miles a route I do which is a nice circular one some road, some trails and some dunes nice run really enjoyed it and sang out loud when I wasnt near anybody of course.... It is so hot and I did my run at 11.30am so I hit the heat of the day which is good preparation for the swiss alps I think as it was humid and hard to breathe. The last 1.5 miles well this is the start of a mile rep or were I start a mile rep and its always too tempting to pick the pace up see what I can do after some hill work....oh yeah I did a 6 min mile in the heat after hills me happy :) gotta get some work in for this marathon :))))

hot hot hot day 77F 55% humidity and I ran in the middle of the day just to make sure I get the heat ! 16.5 miles and 2.5 from mile 10 @ marathon pace then I did last few miles back at 8 min pace. I set out at 8 min pace struggled with it as it seemed so slow but it was the right call as I soon found how the heat takes it out of you but I mainly stuck to about 8 min pace. trail and roads, some short sections of sand but not much. A good run much better than my last long run ! I also did a 5 mile bike ride today just to get my breakfast this morning he he :) happy dayz and about the footy well Im not too bothered.... England didnt deserve to go through as they played awful and my sweep in work left me with Germany so if they win I win lol ha ha ;) |
