ups and downs

Another 3 weeks of running and a blow by blow account of it all...

Saturday 12th Feb
I needed that, I so needed that. 12 miles this morning down by the canal 1hr 45 mins. pain is only temporary!

Friday 18th Feb
very happy today, had a good 18 mile run with an old coach JME Reynolds, just about 3 hrs as well, thankfully he didn't have to use a spatula! (reference to the film 'run fatboy run')

Tuesday 22nd Feb
yesterdays run was a (fast?) 2 miles around the village, today I am planning to run 6 miles at some point. Been trying to do early mornings, but my legs and ankles are telling me not to!

Wednesday 23rd Feb
I start with some sad news... Tuesday I was going for a 6 mile run. Unfortunatly I just ran out of time. But the good news is today, after clearing up from youth club and watching the simpsons I went for that run and not only that run but also another run as well, 2 for the price of one. 12 miles (Avoncliff and back)

Thursday 24th Feb
Another 12 mile run completed... just out of interest does anyone know the exact distance or how to find out the exact distance from Bathampton to Avoncliff?


Saturday 26th Feb
I think I may just have run the best run in my life...let me explain. It all started Friday evening, when yet again I ran out of time to do a run, and with Saturday fully booked the only time to run was early. Went to bed at 10:30pm, alarm went off at 5:45am, didn't want to get up, feet and legs hurt, dark and raining outside. managed to get going by 6am. I was cold, hungry, thirsty, tired, slow, wet, negitive, miserable and after about 10 mins needing the loo. I wanted to stop, every step I wanted to be the last, but plod on I did and after 2hrs 10 mins of non stop running I finally made it home, i'm still in shock.(it did remind me of the christian race!)

Wednesday 2nd March
6 miles, one more toe nail down, eight left!
