Frustrated of Tunbridge Wells!

A Cracking week of running last week…well I lie a little, Monday was a rest day after the ½ marathon and I was ill on Tuesday so that was off…..then I did a little on the treadmill @ the Gym on Wednesday….Soooooo Boring!

On Thursday I went out and was quite looking forward to a mid week 10k, but my shins where killing me, and rather run with an injury, I came back in early, I was really peeed off, and starting to worry a bit as I really want to run a sub 4, so I need to train!

Any how I rested on Friday which was nice…..and went for a gentle jog on Saturday morning, with a LSR (Long Sunday Run) in mind! It went ok, I could feel a little discomfort but ok…..

So Sunday dawns and it was a cracking morning, really frosty, I was out at 6.30 , I had my new power gels for my run,(like frube yoghurts, but concentrate lucozade) and stashed a few on the way out at a cross over point about 10k in.
The first part I was really nervous about running (shins) so took it really easy, it went well, loving it, at the top of the hill by the A21 which is very steep, all pain had gone! And I made the hill no problem at all……I hate to say it but I’m really felling the benefit of not drinking! (normal service will be resumed)…any way on I go, pick up my gels and drink, and off I go on anther 10k, I felt really good….not fast at all, but I was thrilled with my fitness, and my recovery…..how I will feel over the next few weeks, I don’t know, as I have 4 LSR’s left 15, 17, 19, 21 miles then 2 weeks taper down….then the big day!
Very excited, must stay injury free!

My fundraising is going ok…wasn’t a good week last week as my mum was ill and I was all over the place…but I’m up to £780…. I would love to break the £1000 soon, I need to start talking to people direct….

If you have sponsored me already...Thank you very much!
If you haven’t I’ll look forward to speaking to you soon!

Any how gotta dash……
