15 mins xtrainer warm up but on level 6 so not too easy.

calf raises and stretches.

5.5 mile easy run, average 8 min miles, ok this did pick up at times, not much though. calf is ok, hammy bit sore, so eased down towards end and stretched.

 My kitten died last night, Tigger, he had liver failure vet said, not a happy bunny, my son was really upset, but still I was slightly harsh and sent him to school, I think thats what he needed though! We still have the other kitten.... I took Dylan for a snack after school to cheer him up, I think it worked sort of. 

All in all ok day did my run, xtrainer, didnt clear my head, so later on early evening I went out on the bike to clear my head! so feeling touch better, but still not feeling great today, but at least I have run after a big break for me, and so I shall try to start my build up.....

xtrainer 15 mins 

stretch and calf raises.

5.5 miles again very easy, approx 8 min mile pace. Well running slower isnt something I enjoy, and when silly men try to stop and talk to you in a car and I know I cant run faster, I just have to say I cant hear you (got my headphones on) and smile politely, what else can I do, gave up on shouting at weirdo's?

 10 mins xtrainer.

 Not much sleep last night, my mind is somewhat cloudy!  too many things going round and round in my head, funny I thought training would make me more tired.....

Night didnt run, just did a walk in woods, 2miles.

My legs are acheing allot. Going to stretch out and massage them. 

Well the other kitten is quite happy getting all the attention, Breeder has been great.

3 miles really easy, as tomorrow, I have extra hours to myself in the afternoon so I am gonna try and put in a really long session, combination of xtrainer, run xtrainer and step ups! fingers crossed it goes well.

 What a Weird Run this morning, (Look, Burt I got up early and ran).

Hey Burt it must be the time of year for cyclist's aiming for FRB's frightening, I was running slow real slow and cyclist still came at me, just missed me, could have been a nasty crash and lots of injuries arrgghhh, I had to jump to the side, madness.

Then when I was running on the road, I ran past a parked car, and I didnt see anyone in the car, and out jumps some weird man from the passenger side, shouting at me, had my music on loud, So I didnt know what he was saying, I kept running, frightenend the life out of me.... so a day for weirdo's in my world anyways! LOL ;-) 

Pre-Run blog, not sure I am going to do any session today, rain is bucketing it down, uuurrgghhh, not being a wimp, just absolutely knackered (yes knackered U know what it means by now) about 4 hours of broken sleep, not good, feeling rough this morning, not even the works stiff coffee will work..... Stresses of life just not good at the moment work is really stressful. 

Hoping I may feel better and do a run later so lets see! 

Okay I went the gym to be a wimp, as not even gonna try to run in this rain, as last time I ran when it rained so hard I ended up with calves like tennis balls! 

So 15 mins xtrainer level 7 so quite decent

straight on to the treadmill, started out at 13.kmh, which works out as 7.25 min mile, so not bad,  did  10k at this pace, then upped the anti, I just basically pushed the plus button every minute, so it went up in 0.1kmh, ended up marathon  pace approx or slighlty faster for approx 1.5 miles, then hit it for last 6 mins, fastest the treadmill will go is 16km, so thats 6min mile pace, threshold pace.  so 8.4 miles in total, well made up, felt my hip on last bit of effort, but not bad, I stretched out.  this took me just under 1hour to do, 55 mins, so then I jogged out for the last 5 mins.

xtrainer level 6 for 15 mins.

Step ups hard for 10 mins, then stretch again, walk out and thats my session

1hr 40 mins training, and I feel yes you got it knackered, but a very happy bunny today! so my saying for today is marathon training "Bring it on" hahahaha  ;-)  and hey guys I had to wear me compression socks on the treadmill in the gym RUNNER GEEK its official I am now a runner geek..

Also I had a discusion with a friend in the gym, shouting at yourself in the last 1k of a 5k road race, is it really that bad to do????? and does anyone else do this????

pre-run blog, hoping to do 6 easy miles, fingers crossed, then its to my nasty physio for sports massage this afternoon! weather looking good, so might even fit in a small motorbike journey! 

Work has calmed down not too stressful now, and slept like a log so it must have been all that training making me tired, just hope I sleep again tonight...........  and I am counting the days .... days to what you may ask well September 20th is the Marathon in Berlin, so 

144 days to my next Marathon.... do i sound worried, well I am already!  

and counting the days do June 22nd again, this is when I should be in full swing of training and I go down to 3 day week working, so that should be less stressful

7 weeks and 3 days till I have 2 days off work a week, cant wait, I can then train more on these days and harder, with a nice nap in the middle of it all......

Happy days. 

Okay did 15 mins xtrainer, stretch

then 4 miles in the end on the treadmill, got fed up, hammy feels tight, i thought maybe not push it, so did warm down of 10 mins on xtrainer stretch and staight to my Physio app.  She hammered me, wow I am now officially KNACKERED, hahah.

Spoke to my coach been told off, what a surprise hes always telling me off, but I need it....  okay I went too fast on the treadmill yesterday too soon, so got to ease down, build up slowly, arrghh frustrating, but on the bright side, he said I must be still pretty fit to do 8.5 miles in 55 mins, so thats good news and it felt good when I did it.

The plan for the weekend is 6 miles sat and 6 miles Sunday, easy I say, well lets see!

okay 2 miles walk, didnt run today was going to but busy day!

again broken sleep so I am tired today only got 6 hours. 

Started with taking my motorbike to Blackpool, for its 1st service, and the only way I know to get their is motorway well, it was busy and I felt really vulnerable with all the cars about but I was okay I held my own.... so just over an hour to get their wasnt bad as it can take 1hr20 mins.   but I can nip through traffic and stuff, the bike is so physical when your doing 70mph on the motorway its really tireing.

 We dropped the bike off and going to pick it up next week as we dont have time to wait for 2 hours whilst they do the service!

Got home and the usual chores and the day just went, I was tired my legs felt tired so did a walk.  Then off to a bbq, friends have like 4 acres of garden, and 2 huge bouncy castles, one was a 30ft slide, which I now have burns on my arms from hahahah funny last night but not today OUUUCHHH!!
