Half Marathon Training - Week 5 Update

ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ

I am now at the end of week 5 of my half marathon training.  This means that its 8 weeks today until gun time waaaahhhh!!


This week hasnt exactly been a rockin' experience.  Training has been very lax (assumes position for a swift kick in the derriere).  Monday was a visit to the gym to do some strength training and it went really well.  Tuesday was the scheduled 4 mile run and it was okay but nothing to shout about.  I felt as if I was struggling. The route wasnt great either, as I felt I was struggling to find ways to add an extra 1/2 mile onto my current route.  Wednesday I didnt go to the gym, as other stuff came up and Thursday I felt tired and decided to take a day off from running.  Saturday's gym session was replaced with a trip to Edinburgh to meet up with some peeps from a forum I post on.  It was a good day but by god heels dont have kill your calves and feet.  My wee feetsies were feeling it when I got home.  


And that brings me to today's scheduled long run.  Meh is all I can say about that.  6 miles of hardship let me tell you.  I was feeling a bit tired and was a tad dehydrated.  Its runs like this that I wish I had wheelie trainers instead of normal ones.  My pace management sucks as well - bah.  Long runs are supposed to be slow and steady and mine are....well over th place!!!  No wonder I felt as if I had ran a marathon rather than a piddly 6 miles.  


Ho hum - tomorrow is another week!  Till next time my little blogglings :-)
