Triathlons are my New sport and I LOVE IT  

 

Recent last few years  as I havent done much since I was 16/17yrs, on and off injuries, going out with Friends started. Operations on injuries- compartment syndrome front of the shin had small operation to release the pressure on the fascia.

Oct 2007.  Did the great north run.  ( I was in the elite ladies race, against Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe, Im sure u Americans will recall that race).

 I was just in on my previous times from the Bath Half Marathon. I ran it as best as I could off my training & circumstances...

 

Decided to do my 1st Marathon with London looming in the following April I was in the ladies Elite race again.  So the training was on.  I realise now I didnt give my body enough time to recover as it did break down in the last 5 weeks of my training. Injury bound, with calf and hamstring problems I raced!

Decided last night I wasnt getting up early for the gym this morning too many logistics, with my son Dylan, glad I gave it a miss in the end, I was real tired last night after my long run.... and even overslept the usual alarm to get up.

 

Just to add, I was real impressed with my son Yesterday cycling the whole 15 miles with me even with the increase in pace, which I was told he was not impressed with :-) but he did it... and My new Nike vomero's 4 came in the post this morning only get them in white with blue accent.... I hate Blue might even marker pen the colour to black..... 

xtrainer 15 mins level 6

7.5 miles easy, all off road, mainly beach sanddunes and some trails.  Good run, warmer than I thought it was quite close/humid but not much of a breeze.... saw about 20million bunny rabbits today they were everywere, all their little white tails bobbing off as I ran near them LOL

this took me longer than I thought, so I had to wizz off and collect my son from school, back the gym

25 mins xtrainer level 6

10 mins step ups.

15 miles is fab for Dylan, and he plays in goal too? Ss he's probably fitter than some of the outfield players!

You need a pair of these

Ta Chris, he is pretty damn fit nowadays, and yes, hes doing great, he has a strong kick now too, stronger than most outfielders so we found out at a speed timed ball test yesterday at the school Fair....

Your photo is non existant sorry!

You mean in the sense of kicking a ball not for using at the end of 800m races?

You can try here

You should be slower if you are running in sanddunes!! Great training...she is coming back strong!

With all the bunnies everyone is seeing lately, I'm wondering if it's not some kind of alien invasion. Yes, I watch too many kiddy films.

Jt I was slow, but really enjoyed my countryside run...

Burt yes seemed like it yesterday alien bunny invasion but they all gone home this morning not any bunnies :-(
