5 miles fell running oh my it was so exhilersting and fun.

I tried to count sheepbut so many I might fell asleep lol

Burt there were hundreds of sheep in the fells

Well early mor

6 mile walk, up the side of a waterfall, I got bored and ran up it LOL then back down to were everyone was :-) naughty girl.

put 10 miles in the marathon pace guide, as omg it was hard but thoroughly enjoyable, this wasnt a fell race route, I did ran round the rear of the old man mountain and the Walna Scar road to Coniston, then up the side,  past Goat's Water . then up the old man, this was approx 3.6 miles, I lost the gps signal, as I got to the top of the 1st crag it was very misty, if you are friends with me on facebook you can see the photo of goats water, and no goats but lots of sheep LOL.

Ok just to add Old Man of Coniston is 2634ft   :-O

and total ascents of all the small mountains and big hills, around the route is 3996ft wehay! I used the same calories I used on a long run too :-O 

I couldnt see further than 3-4ft in front or around me due to the mist! back down I came the same way I went up, although I wanted to run to swirl how it wasnt safe to run in the weather conditions.  I came back down Walna scar road, then went over upto and over some hills to the miners bridge, and around the copper mines walk, which is approx half the height of the old man, so a good deal of uphill running again, over a waterfall and back down the heavens opened when I was running around the copper mines I was soacked but had a huge smile

1. I was running

2. I had accomplished a great run that most couldnt walk up.

3. I counted hundreds of sheep LOL.

I had so many comments off fell walkers, a few just stood and watched I think amazed I was running up the hills which was a great feeling and definatley keeps you going.

 "wow your impressive" that was the best one, I can remember.

I didnt fall thankfully I am sore afterwards but thats great.

Happy Days :-) 

Its good to have a holiday but also good to be back! 

something to say for internet hey.  Morning swim 50 lengths I know wimp but after 5 days off I felt it, but that will be ok, I will do 100-150 tomorrow.  Oh and I went to my usual coffee shop afterwards wow Ive missed Neros coffee LOL ;-))))    that will be something I will look forward to during my swim tomorrow  at 8am, thats early for a swim for me anyway.

Just been doing some chores I call shopping a chore I am not a women that enjoys shopping :( 

I am going to try and do 6 miles easy later, after my afternoon Nap (alright for some eh)

swam 50 lengths, tired went out to run 6 miles, did 3.5 on flat, and hamstring is still sore.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 

Okay to get things into perspective, I cant run more than 3.5 miles at 8 min pace without my hammy hurting.....

I am seriously thinking of pulling out of the Marathon.

1. I dont want to end up seriously injured and have months out!

 2. I dont want to go into it knowing I am not going to pb!

3. I can keep decent fitness and do some shorter races near the end of the year, and plan my next marathon build up.

Another thing is that 2.5 years ago I was doing 30/35 miles a week, I have done 30 miles this week with injury maybe not good running but I have done that, so really I am looking at this as a good thing in some ways albeit that the 30.35 miles I did do was all quality!

On this, I went out didnt go swimming at 8am, but did go at 11am, had a sleep in till 9am, which is late for me, I may not like 6am mornings but I dont like being in bed later than 9.

200 lengths 1hr 32 mins, I didnt stop like last time for a rest at 100 and 150, I kept going although I did slow down allot in the last 50 lengths.  Some fast swimmers decided to trample me down during my 80-150 lengths which was annoying, they were doing say 10 lengths hard then resting, lap me a few times then rest, Id catch the laps up, urggghhhh! I know I know, they must have been doing swim reps but it was annoying as I was feeling it today.

Had my free Coffeeeeeee hmmmm then got my hair done yay, and off out tonight with some friends a local pub has been done up and we are going to see if its any good :-)
