| 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

Current: Partly Cloudy
Wind: SW at 29 km/h
Humidity: 81% Didnt sleep much last night, not sure why just very little sleep. I did fuel for my run, although I was supposed to do 14-16 miles today, I didnt have 2 hours to run so I went for as much as I could fit in, in 1hr 30 mins which was all I had time for due to the day being messed about, My son was asked last minute to cover for a football team in goal, although they were all a year older! Which was nice to be asked and Dylan played really well, I didnt go watch as i needed to do my run, and be able to get back in time too. 11.66 miles - 7.42

| Well what a weekend full to the brim and I am so tired, today wasnt much better either work was hectic, and I was being bothered with stuff at home too whilst working boiler packed in, we have had problems with the electric box, and sky tv :( urghhh. Anyway the weather was really bad today windy, raining and cold Current: overcast with showers
Wind: S at 14 km/h
Humidity: 87% Showers yeah right, proper downfalls.... I have to admit I feel drained and look really tired, so I wimped out and opted for the sweat mill, I was aiming on 15k just over 9 miles ended up having to pull up at about 10.5km to go to the bathroom I did try and hold on but at least it was only a few metres away ! then back to it urghhh total 12.6km 7.8 miles, Once I had stopped I lost my concentration and couldnt get back into the rhythm.... probably about 1 mile out :( My calves are really quite sore from the tempo style run on sunday, so the 7.8miles at 8min pace... it felt easy just having to concentrate for so long on the S/M is hard but okay:-) approx 1hr 15mins not sure as the treadmill when stopped clears the menu ? ahhhh. So as for the renovations; boiler packed in, electric box something needed updating, sky has gone on the blink.... and then the gas people have had to been called out on an emergency so I am in renovation hell at the moment but hey doesnt this make me a stronger person for coping ? I hope so Im still smiling :-) |

10 mins xtrainer level 6. Current: Clear
Wind: S at 16 km/h
Humidity: 93% Piccy of my 9 mile run, just after running through a field on to some nice muddy tracks. 
Nice sunny winter day, damp but not too chilly. went out to do my 9 mile run then added half a mile on to warm down. my watch played up a bit so I ended up working out an approx time I felt good and I know up till about half way I stuck to 8 min mile pace, then I picked the pace up a bit but not too much. The fields were muddy, and the tracks too. 1hr 15mins. I spoke to the gym manager today, as my gym membership was a deal, my husband takes care of the car park shrubbery etc and I get a free membership.... anyway this deal was done with a previous manager, and about 2months ago my card stopped working, I left a message that I can pay or we can do the same deal as I knew the manager had changed. Long story short I kept leaving messages and the PT's on the door just kept letting me in free of charge :-) Anyway the manager was on the desk today and I mentioned it to him, anyway I didnt recognise him, he used to throw for my athletics club, then Liverpool Harriers, and then Great Britain, he holds loads of old records in the club, I hold one or two as well, it was really funny as we talked about the old coaches at the club some have died some are still there, it was really nice to speak to someone too that has got were I dream about competing for our country, different training mind but still very hard training. Then it clicked I realised who he was, a bit slow there wasnt I lol. I organised for Paul to meet him and go through with exactly what he wants etc, and I can still go in for free, only thing now is everyone knows and I dont have to explain every time I go in yay :-)

Current: sunny
Wind: N at 0 km/h
Humidity: 100% Irrelevant to todays run but I finally got time to upload picture of my muddy xcountry legs, and the mud had dried and most of it had fallen off ha ha 
Havent had the best of days, my stomach has been really bad urghhhhh tried drinking as much as possible and wasnt sure if I was up for a run never mind tempo run, as my stomach hasnt been great since last night, so I would be running on empty ! 10 mins xtrainer level 6 2 miles out 8 min pace. then a 4 mile tempo run I ran along the by-pass just for the ease of continuous road, and only a few junctions to cross...... I was really lucky too and it just happened that every junction wasnt busy and I got to keep running without stopping yay :-) Or not so great, I found it really hard today, my legs were empty and heavy but I pushed through, as I knew it wasnt injury hurt and I felt ok but tired, I pretty much know if Im pushing my luck too much. I did feel sick when I stopped for a 2 min rest, and I puked LOL no much as there wasnt really anything to puke urghhh, then a 3.5mile warm down back to the gym average 7.45 pace. Running down the by-pass was good, but funny, I came across workmen but they were okay, I just had to run around the barriers and through some mud and ended up jumping over some equipment It felt pretty cool at that speed he he :) I saw one of my husbands friends on his tractor, about 4 times as he was going backwards and forwards with soil to a job my hubby was working at! 10 mins xtrainer level 4 warm down, and stretch. |
