Weather: Fine

BACK TO IT! Starting to panic a bit now as the 5K Big Fun Run is this SUNDAY!! ARGH!

So I thought Id start off with the 3 miler just to make sure I can run the distance lol! I also made sure Id took a proper note of the time when I went out - 17.45 exactly.
I didnt feel to bad out on the run until the last 3 parts of a mile when my stomach actually started to feel a bit peculiar :-( I pushed on though as I was nearly home and managed to run it in 30 mins exactly - so while no improvement at least I havent lost any form over the last few days of no training.
I must admit I felt quite peculiar when I got in home and had to sit down for a few minutes before doing my stretching :-( I hope that this will soon pass though and I will feel back on par again soon - as I really need to start upping the mileage for this Half Marathon!

Monday 10th August

Distance: 3 miles
Type: Regular run
Time: 30 mins (approx)
Weather: Fine

Another early morning run! You really wouldnt think you would need your hair and makeup done but typically as I was running I (nearly literally) bumped into a guy who had chatted me up a few weeks ago! :-0 and although I wasnt particularly interested, id rather have been looking slightly more presentable - its a girl thing ;-)

So, getting back to the run!! I tried to up the pace a little this time but I must REALLY get organised and time my runs properly! does this mean I need a gadget? to time my runs and measure my heart rate and work out my time per mile and tell me who is the beautifullest one of all!!! lol! And I thought this running was a CHEAP hobby! Give or take a few mins it took half an hour - so i have a 3 mile bench mark now ;-)

One thing I HAVE noticed, is since my new trainers, my calves are not acheing like they were last week. I really think the proper support has made a difference :-D Although I have to say towards the end of the run I can feel the blister again - its in the arch of the foot, obviously where I tend to 'roll in' and as I get a little tired the rolling in must get worse and therefore rub - but only on the left foot interestingly enough. I am trying to concentrate on my posture and form as I run to try and retrain my wonky leg lol!

LOVE running in the rain, keeps you nice and cool. Had a bad day today and the run worked its magic by getting rid of all my frustrations! YAY! Felt really strong tonight, partly cos I was in such a temper I really strode out and channeled the emotion into the run.
