Oh dear, well you weren't last and it's the taking part that counts remember xI've had one. Hence me putting on four pounds in a month and being next to last bloke in a race yesterday
So, you're now training to get out of BG pace after taking so long to get into it, you must be confused...lol!
Monday nights usual short hard fast run around the towpath, footpaths and gravel tracks that form my circuit. Seem to be getting some speed up again which is good.
Nice 6.30 a.m trot over Baildon & Bingley Moors. 8.25 miles. Even had time to nip into The Terrace, in Saltaire, for a quick coffee before work. Looking forward to my sons "speed & endurance" session at Ilkley Harriers tonight !
I have bramble scratches, nettle stings, some mud on my legs and some bugs in my hairMust be signs of a good run surely?? Legs felt like lead though. I am really no good at this running malarky, but I will keep trying and enjoying being rubbish at it :thumbup:
Well done Mrs One Hill. You do right. But lets see you scaling Fairfield Horseshoe Race next year eh?! :thumbup:

Pfft, maybe next year.... or the year after?
In all honesty though, when life settles down as I am sure it will, I will get on it MG :thumbup: In the mean time I shall try a bit harder to tick over and maybe get some little races under my belt
Regular tough club run again tonight, 9.3 miles with about 800ft climb done in 65 mins. I love this route, all the climbing is between mile 5 and 7 so it's tough going with a lovely fast descent to finish off.
1st fell race last night - 3 hills in Penmaenmawr - totally bonkers - the 2nd two hills were practically vertical and were a scramble through gorse and sheep poo. 2.85miles and 1520ft per my Garmin - I have never walked/crawled/scrambled so much in a race before. I think it was a bit too extreme/mental for me, although I'm glad I did it!
I'm heading for the stairs and I'm not leaving the stairwell until I've done 42 reps.
It's been a very frustrating day today so there should be plenty of pent up anger to get me through it. :angry:
Hum....I guess it'll be about an hour and a quarter...here goes!
........42 reps done, 1:14:10. That stairwell was roasting
