Right, so there is this vast amount of green space near to where I live and I always get lost in it so tend to avoid running through it. This is a waste. Yesterday, my whole route was planned around conquering the getting lostness and I did it, woooo! It was such a beautiful run and you can see the sun rising over the docklands, I need to take my proper camera next time I do a morning run. It took me a while to recover from last weeks run, I found this one pretty tough too, it's amazing how quickly you lose your fitness after illness/injury. I'll 'just keep running' and I am sure I will be back upto speed in no time.
Next race is May 30th, Bupa 10k, bring it on!
My ipod is not synching, grrr, I am hoping it is because 'the latest version of itunes is being downloaded'.
Miles this week so far: 4
I can't remember what all my other stats where so I will cut paste it during the week. I have 16 miles left to run this week...

Day 1 of the rest of my training
Wow, this is what I would call the first day of 'proper training' in about two months and wow could I feel it!!! I did just under five miles, got completely lost in the hills and wanted to curl up and die after mile 1, hahahah!
I've reviewed and replotted my goal this year....I am going to run between 1000 miles to 2011 km (looks more impressive by swapping the units heh ;)
If I go more than ten days without running, the counter resets. I had few other rules but I can't remember them! I am relieved to be chilling on the sofa right now! I am doing the Bupa 10k in May, anyone doing that? I have just decided I am going to do a marathon in October, not for a sub four but just for something closer to aim for than London next year.
Running I have deduced is like porridge. If you think of running as the stirring and your heart as the porridge. When you heat the porridge on the stove and stir it, it takes on a rather malleable consistency and goes down rather easily, if you leave it, it becomes hard and difficult to stir. In the same way, if you don't run for ages, you struggle and find it difficult but if you keep at it regularly it is not so bad!
Anyway, I am off to bond with my bestie and go and see Usher later, til tomorrow!
Oh one more thing, if I don't blog about it on the day it happened, it didn't happen!
Miles this month: 4.91
Miles this year: 4.91
Miles to go: 995.1 (owch!)
Really going now, BTW if you are on Runkeeper, add me! xx
