Can't believe its been a week- I have been running honestly. Have to go back a while then------
Wednesday
This is so far back can hardly remember. It was bloody freezing I know that much so went and ran 8 slow miles at 9mm (1% incline) on the tready. It was fekkin borin and took forever, but was like ice outside think it must have been the day of the snow. So 8 dull miles banked in 72 mins. Yawn. Had some peeps over for dinner later, late night.
Thursday
God it was awful. Took day off as was in a real cba mood, really down and crying at fresh air. Spent day trying to sort car battery. Nightmare going between Kingston & Epsom Vauxhall dealers a million times- took all day as both places deciding diff things wrong with said battery- then Kingston didnt even have a fekkin battery. Cried in both Vauxhall places they must have thought I was insane. Long and short is radio kept singing to itself when I not in car and its been draining battery. So a new one is on order. I also have a new battery. Now just tracking and a wheel to sort......
Oh and running, errrr 1m jog, 3 miles at 7.40 then another mile jog to cool down- again in gym, I was already there, and still cold.....
Friday
Scheduled rest day which it was apart from bit of spinning...... its a long work day tho a Fri.... and cba still hanging around
Saturday
Threw another cba from estate agents halfway through day and went off to gym for a session. 5 miles at 8.57 (incline again) - 44.46 nice and easy and a few weights. Made self look as beautiful as poss (yes, it took hours) as had a black tie ball gig thing in the evening at Eltham College. Burns night so were doubled as a Ceidlidh band and got everyone doing barn dancing for 1st half of evening. Ended up texting then calling guy from wk on way home (about 2am) and agreed to go to his for glass of wine Got there about 3am and seemed to wake up there following morning. Oops. And I had to work early....
Sunday
Was obviously knackered after about an hours sleep. Big oops. Schedule said to race today but there wasnt one anywhere and Iw as at work anyway so did it on the tready for a bit of confidence as it could pace me. After last months handicap I just needed that. Anyway, 5 miles done in 35.33 (7.06mm) I was delighted with that as sensibly started at 7.13 pace and got quicker- I really am getting sensible in old age. Has really upped my confidence. A lot. I know its not quick, but will do for me,, was sposed to do it in 35, so not far off.....
Miles for week- 33.5 (seems measly but no long run I guess.....its back to 40 next week)
Monday
Body pump then a nice easy 4 mile recovery run at 8.57. (35.47) Never feels so much like a recovery after pump tho....... Really enjoying my monday pilates group as well, they are lovely. Taking on a new lot at Topnotch on a Thurs now as well which is nice, prob some of the same crew.
Pump teacher this morning said i looked like had lost 'shitloads' of weight and was I ok. (she knows about my mental tendencies) Unlike her to mention anything, and she is actually the 5th person this week to say something in the gym, and some of these people have been people I hardly even know. Scales saying bugger all as usual, but perhaps I am getting smaller. Thank feck for that.
Tuesday
Oh is that today- thank god 4 that. Ran at silly o clock this morning, 1m jog, 5 m fartlek (felt well stupid, but ran lots of speeds between 6mm and 930mm pace) in 40 mins so ave of 8mm then 1m jog. Stretched out in pilates not taught by me and she is excellent, I knick loads of ideas from her. Bit of selling houses, then back to gym, spinning and orchestra tonight. Phew. Can I go to bed now???!!!!
