DAY 12 - 1.73KM (15:10 min)

Just a quick & cold run today. Was up at 4am with tummy pain, how daft does that sound. But still, poor nights sleep does not make for a happy me the next morning.

Still, I did a lap of the park, in the cold!

DAY 11 3.36KM (30:08 min)

A sneaky run squeezed between work & picking up my daughter from nursery.

Quite nice, a few too many people walking dogs to tell truth, but quite nice.
Todays better, was better than yesterdays better! Only a meter or two, but better all the same.

Day 10 - 3.34KM (29:38 min)

Todays running, My Better was better than "your" Better.

so I've probably mentioned the Yellow Gate. Reaching the Yellow Gate is the start of the run, this ends my warm up & is the point where I get my wiggle on.
It's 700m from the Yellow Gate to the Rose Garden... That was my better.
Today contained 2 sets of "from the Yellow Gate..."
2nd time round My Better is Better than the old better - 900m continuous pace run. 

Sorry, check out the vid below, if you wander what's spawned all the silly and daft "My better..." 




TUESDAYS BETTER WILL BE BETTER THAN YOUR BETTER.

DAY 8 - 5.14KM (40:11 min)

Today's run contained 2 sets of 700m straight runs! One at the start and then one to end.

there's this yellow gate where I start my run & I've been trying to get as far as possible from it as I can, it's almost 700m to the rose garden from the yellow gate.

On the way out I did it with a pace of 5:46, on the way back I did it at about 6:40.

Not record breaking either way, and the average pace for the whole 5K was about 8:02.

but given that I'm only on Day 8 here, I think that's not too bad!


My Heart Research UK vest arrived today!! will get a snazzy picture asap!
Rest day tomorrow. I feel like I need it!

DAY 7 4.28K (35:55 min)

There's something cool about running a route and getting further than you normally get, in a quicker time!

Alright, so I'm still a little of a snot monster. But at least I actually ran today, the total distance was also the furthest I ran in a very long time. Not far off 5km, hopefully tomorrow I'll crack it.

I'm getting an average pace of about 8:30 per Km. So I guess I'm looking at a 10Km race of about 1 hour 20min!

DAY 6 - 3.43KM (31:36 min)

Running with snot dripping out my face seems to be my weakness, tonight was more of a walk than a run.

I've downloaded the podrunner interval workouts, with the varied BPM, and it was working until i just couldn't function and had to slow to more of a walk / power walk type speed.

I'm afraid the music is a bit mindless for me, I do like dirty metal, but the BPM works quite well & helped keep a steady pace. Unfortunately I'm not musically inclined enough to mix my own, & may just have to stick with this. But that's not too bad, anything that drowns out the sound of my panting & puffing as a jog on is a winner in my book.
