another six at luchtime

again hard work following sunday. i must eat more.

more about yesterdays run.

My right foot, no not the fucking  film managed the 19 without a peep. very happy about that. otherwise the vlm might have been blighted by the co-codamol i found in the kitchen the other day. I felt much better this morning than i normally do after my LSR. ate loads and drank loads of decent beer watching shed load of love at the wick. they were really good.  messed up by eating next to nothing monday day time. everything is unraveling.

19 miles on a sunday

|it doesn't look like I'll have to do this mad mileage on a Sunday for a couple of weeks.  Feeling quite fucked

yet another hilly 6m run

all good except ran into fucking unlit path closed  sign from the tossers who are   landscaping the  park. I'm worried that i've damaged my left foot. the mob who are responsible are called meheny and i will be calling their MD in the morning. they are a shower of shit.

fuck me... he's still running

Six miles after work.Not quick, not special . came back covered by dead insects - lovely!

right foot hurting a little. role on taper.  It's an emotional journey this one.

sunday's LSR

lsr's when you have to do them are pressure  and a  P in the A. When you don't and you just fancy a long run it's different. Today's 20mile london excursion was the former. not helped  by the night of beer watching  the dennis greaves  band at the wickham. Still 20miles done, felt OK  i guess. although at the time of typing energy levels are starting to flag.

5K on the TM

Went to the gym, did 5K on the TM as i hate the TM slightly less than i had rowing, which i never do these days. Did a little gym; the usual three machines and some core. we're probably at war with tripoli./ Had a doomsday relate session today. v low

Schedule

I've worked out my schedule for the next four weeks. It's fucking mad frankly. I'm looking forward to the end of my last 22m LSR. Still not sure how I am going to squeeze it in, i suspect  i'm going to do tower bridge and back but squeeze in a couple in the middle out and back, to i don't know where ,may be to charing cross along the southside.

Another 9 after work

another nine in the dark, slower than i thought it was going to be. quite relaxed after  about five miles. must have been the chocolate kicking in.

the ladywell/lewisham loop  is quite civilised as road routes go. usual rules, like be careful at bus stops appply

Last night

The whole family went down with gastric flu  this week. Managed 9 miles in 1.15  last night. Normal ladywell route. what else can i say about running? Hang


43254 - my VLM number arrived yesterday !!!!

I'm really excited. although not overjoyed at the prospect of running 22 miles the next two sundays.

stomach bug blues

First Juliette got it, then  sandrine, then Eloise and then me. I think it's a 24 hour thing  and i  should be out tommorow. Just as  well I did my LSR on sunday!

touch wood we're all starting to feel better

LSR

went some to way to conquor my fear of the LSR today and run 18ms with a ave moving speed of 9ms. i  thing i was dehydrated and gels will help in the vlm. note to self, buy some gels.

must do 21 next week.

yesterday - that would be friday after work

Interesting day , week, what have you and right now can't dwell on it., . Anyway 4 miles in 32 mins is OK going i guess for Friday after work.

saturday night/sunday morning

My youngest has a stomach bug and is sick. bless her , it could be log night. i'm drinking scotch listening to Faure., and pondering how low rent people can be.

 s is being shouty and dramatic. plus ca change........


 still hoping for LSR tomorow without shit when i get home

after work

Thanks team, such nice people.

Still, 4ms after work in 32mins. After a kilo of coffee and one banana it was not a good idea to do four quick miles but it was a PB, but my calfs actually hurt for the first time in ages, particulary on such a short run.Better eat next time, LSR sunday and might get to the gym tommorow.

a run around the nieghbourhood. i think right now 9 miles is my favourite distance

My friend paul

Paul is our child minder husband. he's better or at  least feeling better enough to want to come home. I thought he might appreciate the peace and quiet.

I know this blog is boring but one follower would be a blast.

No running or anything today. Going to try and squeeze a run in after work tommorow. fed up

really looking forward to the VLM. I've also been asked if i want to go and see the girls at the msrc.. They sent me a video about the condition, I was watching it in the office, tears streaming down my face.  I'm going to try and make the effort , i fear iot might be an emotional trip somehow. Maybe I'll take eloise.

I'm looking forward to meeting them. I gave  the fund raising a  bit of a push today and raised another 70ukp. It's harder than i thought it was going to be.

this blog is getting boring

OK, 6 miles on the TM and some gym yesterday. 9 miles at 8.30 today. lots of things are shitty

Was feeling a bit under the weather

Feeling a little better this week, so 15ms down and i'm hopeful  of a LSR this sunday. Completley outran some young guy in the gym earlier.
also thinking that S J and E will come down and see me at  up the creek, then at island gardens and then at the finish. Quite nervous now.

bit not as much as I am about my friend Paul, he's had a heart op, fixed a hole and new valve - hang in there dude.

still feeling rough

managed 10k. despite everything quite quick. I'm sure i could do it 1.48 in a race on the flat. As for the ladywell loop is is definatly lumpy, if not quite hilly in places.

work was quite positive today  and the kids are having a lovely time with michelle.
