| 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)

un-scheduled rest day, due to son being ill, and having to stay in a look after him, could run tonight, but got a scheduled visit to the physio, and she says not to do exercise that day afterwards cos she does inflict some pain, but I always feel better for it. Decided at the moment my fav music song, doing easy running to is U2, Beautiful day, and U2 with or without you, but with or without has always been a real all time fav of mine, I dont usually run to it, but I did yesterday and it was great! other than that its pop, rnb and proper head banging dance music! sleep nitol assisted again, really struggled to get to sleep but once I was I was gone! thank god!

Did 11.5 miles today, put as easy, it felt good 1hr 20 mins, I was ranging between 7.00/7.30 with an awesome 6.00 min mile in the middle, (cyclist, I was slowly cathing him up, when I overtook him he started to increase so, so did I, this is why I train on my own mostly cos I am just TOO competitive streak wise). And I was also fed up, then after half way ranged approx 6.45 so was an excellent run. windy on way out and dull and cold. 15 mins on xtrainer before run and 15 mins after, then 10 mins of step ups. stretch and did some abs for once! not lost any strength on abs did gr8! Feel so much better getting back in the swing of things, also slept ok last night, apparently woke the whole house up though, laughing in my sleep, not sure what that was about, and it lasted for 15 mins so they all say, not sure on that! must be the nitol making me delerious. still need more sleep than 7hrs though. Happy days! well getting there.
