sinj's running foolishness 2007

Third day on the trot - have had visitors all weekend so had to wait for them to leave before setting off. More pleasant than yesterday but third day in a row means quite heavy-legged. Second half picked up and felt quite fresh at the finish.

All routes near my house are hilly, so my local times are always slower than flat routes/races so I'm still optimistic about that 4 hour time on the 22nd.

Less than a month to go!

slightly sore hip and knee after the 12 on Sunday so skipped a day on Tuesday. Did a nice lap of the park today in the spring sunshine - very nice :)

still a little pain in the knee. Hip OK.

1:20, 9.2 miles

quick run on the treadmill. I have my last LLSR on Sunday (20 m) so I want to keep myself prepared for that, but not aggravate this knee/hip niggle. They're now reduced to the odd twinge when I'm NOT running. The run was fine - very gentle.

40mins, 5 miles.

I have a 5 on Saturday before the 20 which I may or may not do depending on these slight niggles. I think after 16 weeks of increasingly intense training my body is starting to protest a little!!

Pacey, easy run to prepare for Sunday's long one. Very nice :) 5 miles in around 40 mins...
