I have had a really good week and stuck to the plan pretty firmly, except for on the Sunday where I decided I really needed the extra miles as the race is coming up soon! I pushed myself and did 14.23 miles in 2:29:58!
My legs are like jelly today but I am very pleased with 14 miles and a 28 mile week which is only 1 mile off my record. I will try and break that record soon!

I'm back!
Hi all,
Sorry I have been MIA recently. It is for good reason. I came back from Sweden and only had 1 week at home before I jetted off to the US, I then came back and was busy all last week with a house move. This week I am settled in at my parents which is a very strange feeling! I left home 7 years ago and so it will be a bit of an adjustment but I will survive.
I can now switch off and focus on what I need to foucs on - RUNNING. I've fallen behind the training schedule slightly but I am aiming to make up for lost time and this started with a 4 mile run to ease my way back in yesterday. Today I will aim for 6-8 miles and hopefully I will do ok!
Time to FOCUS

Hat trick and PB!
This week I have run 3 days in a row to really try and get back into the swing of things! 4,8 and 4 mile runs on the menu this week and after the 8-miler yesterday I felt really tired.
I couldn't have predicted today's run - 4 miles in 35 minutes! 8:44 minutes per mile pace which is a PB by a long way! So chuffed right now. Got to keep it going and up the distance! I got a long run on Sunday - haven't decided on distance yet but I will definitely do at least a ½ marathon.
Have a good weekend all!

First run back!
First run back yesterday! 4 miles to ease my way back into the swing of things.
My chest ached and I had a bit of a stitch for the first 2 miles but it got better. I finished in 40:29 which was slower than how it felt but overall I am pleased to get going again. I am going to skip the gym this week and run Thursday, Friday and Sunday too. I got a feeling I will have put a lot of weight on and so I need to push this down ASAP.
Over Christmas I didn't take any care or precaution of my diet and did 0 exercise (unless drunken dancing counts). I will have put some weight on but hopefully it will come off quickly.
This is my year!
