I feel nervous/excited about this run today!!!!! I reeeeeeeeeally hope I can do it! The only part I am worried about is the 1.5mile stretch where there is no pavement just a tiny grass bit so will have to turn the music off or down real low.

Oh and its boiling out today!!!

I'm sure you'll do fab on ur run.. I really wish I could run like u Tanya and u seem to really enjoy it!!

One word to sum todays run: HOT!!!!! wow it was boiling.

It was a 5.64mile loop around which included miles 4-9 of the half marathon route. Running through saltram was tough there were 2 slow steady hill climbs, had to stop & walk twice (i'd say no more than 30secs) and another time had to stop to cross the road at the end.

Haye road, which I thought was going to be the worst was actually fine, that is until the end where there is a very steep short hill. Stopped and walked once for about 10secs then thought nope head down and run, which I did

The rest of the route after that was pretty flat, a long stretch down hill then a looong flat straight back to the car.

All tolled it took me 1:03:18 which I am exstactic about - that means my pace time for today was 11m13s per mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! arty0049: totally did not expect that!!!!

Plan now is to do that route atleast once a week, get the stamina built up for the hills for actual race day

(oh, just scoffed 2squares of galaxy truffle :drool: )

 

[Foo Fan]

Well done Tan - you're totally breezing this half marathon malarkey now! Can't see you ever stopping running! I don't mean in a Run Forrest Run way, I don't think you'll feck off to US of A and run Route 66 - I just mean it'll stay as a much loved sport! Phew blethering on again...x

The run sounded A1 Tanya. Great boost for you to manage that hill. How are you getting on with the running group? Are they helpful?

 

[summergurl]

I havnt been to the running club since the first time .... kinda thinking I don't want to waste £2 a week on it when I can run it myself now.

Got up and went straight for lunch today with my friend, went to somewhere i've never been before and the salad I had was delicious (which probably means full of calories )

Saturday 9th April

[summergurl]

It was delicious!!!!! And very filling.

Just had a slice of stevie's pizza for din dins. Will be off to bed soon as I'm on overtime at 7am tomorrow xxx

 

[JanD]

Eeeee 7am on a Sunday??? Never mind - think of the pennies, lovely spends for your hols xx

 

[summergurl]

I don't do it for pennies Jan, it's pointless the bloody tax man has the majority of it as I don't do enough overtime to make it worthwhile, but when I do I do it for toil (hours) an on a Sunday we get 1.5hrs for every hour we work so today I'll get 7.5hours for a 5hour shift which is an extra day and a half holiday

Had a rubbish sleep 11-03:30 a nap is in order for when I'm finished overtime for defo!!
