I can’t
believe it’s a whole week since my last input, quite hard to think what I have
done over the past week and a half!!
Been quite
lazy this week as far as ‘official training sessions’ go, after my car break in
I lost a bit of enthusiasm, as I took to running the roads round town managed 2
runs [3.4 miles and 5.5 miles] the
second being more interesting as I included a run up ‘Scotties’ a half mile off
road track up ‘Snowdon hill’ [not the
real Snowdon!!] The run was a good 5.5 miles as I wanted to include roads I was
unsure of, as part of my risk assessment for the Bikeability course I ran in
the town this week –shin seemed ok, using my neoprene sleeve, unfortunately its
now 4 days since I last ran. The weather is horrendous with severe gales and
heavy rain, much of Somerset
is flooded and the railway at Dawlish has been washed away. I cant seem to
enthuse to go out in the this weather in the dark, so telling myself I can wait
till the weekend but will have to work harder, 30th March is getting
nearer. I did manage to get a bike ride in on Sunday 35 miles with Mike and
Jason, Jason being very fit and active losing 4 stone and going to spinning
classes each night!!
The
Bikeability course planned for tomorrow and Friday in a local village has been
cancelled as the school is shutting for 2 days due to flooding in the area, so
hopefully might get a chance for a run, cant see me getting a bike ride in as weather forecast is very
poor, although Sunday looking better.
We also had a
good walk at Sidmouth on Saturday [photo below] nice bright and sunny J

Thursday February 6th
Finally got
out this morning, 3.88 mile run at 6am this morning good pace 9.53mm, well, good
to say I am not pushing the shins. Shin seemed ok, just hoping I have now
recovered. Need to build up my miles, will try to get out tomorrow and perhaps a coast run at the weekend as not been down Beer Head for months.
