sinj's running foolishness 2007

I'm going to be saying this a lot over the next few weeks, but this was the furthest I've EVER run. 14.25 miles. Stopped a few times for drinks and, ahem, comfort break.

I live at the top of a hill, so there's no avoiding a few hills, but the route I chose was too hilly. There were a couple of monsters, plus the last 2m was uphill. tough.

clocked 2:27 which is, with stops, around 10m miling. My programme says to run these ones VERY slow so as to get used to the distance/time so I'm happy enough. It was definitely the big climbs that made it hard.

My legs are achy/sore today, but not too bad. Should be fine for tomorrow's run.

So - this is where the going gets tougher I think!

steady on the treadmill after tough time on Sunday. Started stiffly but eased out. Quite surprised. Feel better AFTER than BEFORE. Magic!!

winter has finally arrived in the UK and we're freezing.

After Sunday which was a little demoralising, I start to see the light. Bouncing round my 7 miles today was a breeze and felt good, despite the freezing weather. Just about my PB for my very familiar loop. Didn't measure the time accurately - wish I had.

slight tickle in my throat. Don't know whether to stop for a day or two and let a cold take hold or "fight it off" by continuing with my programme.

snow tomorrow!

30:11 fastest yet. pushed hardish on the treadmill. Quite happy given that this is the third day running. There is progress :)
