Guestimating 10.5 miles, someone turned off my garmin watch charger not sure who, but the watch conked out at about 8 miles, ppphhhhhhttt.

so I went out easy and found I was running at average 7.30 pace which is good, I just kept this pace up through out and then when we hit back into Formby our town, I picked the pace up big time not sure on the exact pace as no watch but IM pretty sure I was going as fast or faster than marathon pace woooohoooo.   :-)

Weather was warm but slight breeze although I ended up pretty hot and sweaty LOL

Legs felt good, hammy ok,  calves good, my achilles didnt scream at me on first running so all good news and IM on the come back yay ! 

although I have to complain about something my sleeping is well off, I just cant sleep keep waking up, tossing and turning, so not good...... need my yawn sleep  

Okay, nice weather, it's cooler no wind nice autumn weather...

10 mins xtrainer.

leg pull up crunches 15 x3

stretched the hammies out with the foam roller

Ran 6.3 miles. I know, I could have run further or less for the ocd'ing on numbers but today I was just happy to get out and run :-)

Good run, went out real easy and increased as I felt so did okay, half off road sand dunes trails and woodlands, then the other half road.....  5 mins xtrainer warm down, then lots of abs work, stretching out and foam roller.... nothing weird to report but thats good isnt it he he   had a nice warm bath and stretched out again ;-) 

Two days no running, Dr's Orders....... well im gonna try a run tomorrow cos I am going to be insane otherwise.  

I've been under the weather womens things and need to keep healthy, but at least its not another running injury eh!

short and sweet :-) 

Okay Resting really isnt in my vocabulary....... 

10 mins of xtrainer

no crunches or anything like that so Ive been good there !

9 miles okay I ran easy (I can just hear everyone telling me off in my mind but hey its me)

I did stop every 3 miles and have a short walk break..... thats good isnt it, thats resting honest!  I dont feel great but this helps me mentally just being out and having a gentle run.

10 mins xtrainer..... so funny I got back to the gym and walked straight into my phsyio she was like OH! your running but she was ok and understood (I said Ive jogged 3 miles) I think she knew I hadnt cos I was a bit sweaty he he...... on the xtrainer theyre were two men next to me on treadmills so funny they were singing every now and again I couldnt help but laugh as all the way around the run Ive just done outside I was singing toooo!

So I didnt do my big session I usually do on a Thursday so thats taking it easy too. now just another run Friday and we are away for the weekend at  A Theme Park Alton Towers, I cant wait, I know I should rest more, but I can go on some rides and sit and watch everyone on the ones I dont like...... and We are staying at the hotel at the park so if I get real tired I can go rest up there...   I get my results or some of them Friday Afternoon from the drs give me an idea of what it is or isnt...  

It was Dylans 11th Birthday yesterday, he got to cycle from school to the towns village centre, and play with his friends, hes played before in the village but not cycled from school, I was nervous about this, and stayed in a coffee shop in the village so I am close by incase anything happens, I know sounds over the top but hes still my little boy! he seems so grown up now too... he has been picked for the school soccer goalkeeper, but he doesnt want to do it, he really doesnt get on with the school coach at all, everything dylan has been taught in his proper goalkeeping training this coach tells him and shouts at him saying hes doing it wrong.  So hes not going to the 1st match and he will see after that.

We had the family round in the evening too for dylans birthday and hes really into bmx'ing he has a decent bmx but we bought him new bits didnt get much as the stuff is really expensive... Dylan was made up with what we got, and cant wait to put it on the bike and go the local skatepark.    

I didnt go the gym today but ran an old route which is abit like a test, although its a med length run. 6 miles is off road, trails for 1.5 miles to the beach over sanddunes then beach for 3 or so miles then sanddunes and sandy trails back to road. for the last 3 or so miles, its a good run although the wind can be a chore if its against you along the beach which it was today all the way for the 3or so miles.  I felt tired, but ran all the way, no problems with my legs, hammy went tight once so I quickly stretched it out.  the route for my ref, is the around the perimeter of Formby basically ending on the by-pass and home. 

I enjoy this run and did an ok time 1hr 17 mins.... I think my best is something like 1hr 9 mins and thats on a still day with sand on the beach being a little more compact than today, so Ive done ok really.

Now my stomach etc was okay whilst running, but about an hour after I had some pain.... so I have two days off now, with some crazy rollercoasters just to shake me around abit, but If I dont feel good I can always go and rest up in the hotel....... and we have the day at the big waterpark and huge slides etc, so that should be fun toooo I love water parks he he and rollercoasters...... so see you all next week..... which I have mon,Tues, Wed off work too to get some rest fingers crossed.....       ;-)
