focus

oh how easy the focus goes, to be fair thou' my 50th has come and gone. Eight mile run on Saturday which was once again wet, windy and hilly. A new pair of Saucony shoes are on their way to me courtesy of my work collegues. My data entry is becoming a little lax. Slight groin strain is becoming a little problematic. Today's run has been cancelled in favour of 30 mins on the bike X box, dvd's and the internet have all become tools to use.

getting back there

Today's run was meant to be a recovery run, nice and gentle. The reality was the fastest I've run for some time sub nine min mile on a hilly course. Think that I really need to change my long run to Saturday and make Sunday my recovery run. Feeling pretty tired and constantly hungary but I am sixteen pounds lighter than New years day and regularly sub ten mins which was a problem early January. It's all heading in the right direction, I am enjoying my own company training wise. A very positve week.

on the up

four weeks in and it's coming together nicely. I'm a stone lighter and five miles on a hilly windy course in just over nine minute miles. The diet is being stuck to religously and the exercise routine is spot on.
