Oops, I missed out training day 7. I didn’t run round Loch Leven – I went to the lovely Rosie Maclean’s christening instead, followed by a garden party and then a rather disappointing football game watched in Edinburgh airport. I arrived home to a very warm Wokingham at about 7pm raring to go on my …
I have been known to be a fair weather runner. In fact, I am probably best known for not being a runner at all. Anyway, all that aside, I woke up at 6:30 this morning and ended up going for a run in the rain. Yes, a RUN in the RAIN. I’m still getting over …
I managed to leave work just before 5 today – a nice change from 5:45 every day previously this week! The roads were ok too (so clearly people are interested in more than just the England game? Or maybe I was just lucky), so I was home at about 6. Lots of time for a …
Ah, I’ve slacked off this blog again. But at least I haven’t slacked off the training. So Tuesday night saw an 18 minute run. It was really hot outside, and the run was pretty tough… but I made it. Something like 3.24k in just over 18 minutes. And I didn’t feel too rubbish at the …
My first run of over 15 minutes in my training program. Once again I wasn’t feeling all that up for a run (you’re perhaps noticing a bit of a theme here), but my training program is pinned to my kitchen noticeboard, which makes it a bit more difficult to ignore. So I got my kit …
Oops, forgot to write this yesterday! I went to BodyPump in the morning for the first time in at least 2 weeks. I still thought that it would be a good idea to up my weights though! Really wasn’t up for a run in the afternoon, but again it was only a 15 minute run …
With 2 days off, and a slightly late finish at work I wasn’t really in the mood for a run. However, the sun was shining and it was only another short run – a 15 minute jog. I was hoping to go at least 2.8km today. I went a slightly different route, just to keep …
I finally succumbed to the idea that a training schedule may actually be a good idea to prepare for my 5km race in just under 4 weeks. So, yesterday, I scoured the net and found a training program which seemed to be manageable, and which I could adapt to the 4 weeks I have before …
I’m off to the o2 Arena on Saturday night to watch a gig. It’s a pretty awkward place to get to if you live Westwards outside of London. Taking the train will probably take considerably longer than driving, what with all the changes and waiting around. But what about parking? My first port of call …
How many times have you arrived at your airport car park in a rush? Parked up in the first space you find, then run to get the bus you see coming towards the closest bus stop? And completely forgotten to make a note of where you parked your car. Then you come back to the …
