Week 10!

Its been a funny week this week with regards to training.  On Sunday I managed a 4 mile run but the heat was again crippling again.  Summer is great but us Scottish milkbottles are not used to this type of sustained sunshine lol  At least I managed to do the run and I was successful in making sure that my pace was right for the run.

Monday was supposed to be my gym session day but to be honest, I was exhausted and decided to take the night off, spend the time reading my running mag and go to bed early.  The first parts worked okay but someone's tv was super loud in our street and I ended up being awake most of the night :-/

Tuesday seen one of my best runs for awhile.  I managed to do a 3.5m tempo run without feeling shattered or in need of oxygen lol  If only they were all like that - hmmm

Wednesday was my scheduled trip to the gym. 2 miles interval training on the "dreamill" followed by program 2 of my strength training.  It was hard work but I have found that the "good morning" exercises are getting easier on the old hamstrings.  There doesn't seem to be the threat of them going "twang" now and when I got up on Thursday I didn't have the dreaded ache :-D


Thursday was an easy run of 4 miles.  I ran out to Fairlie library and stopped en-route to grab a quick drink of water and a 30 sec chat with my Mum who was strutting her stuff at line dancing. It was very humid and yet again, I looked like a radish on the boil!!!  Training for the week over - phew!!
