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!

Im off work, easy morning, then off to the gym, Really didnt feel like it today, and I have had 4 days off no training at all, although walking v fast around theme parks and jumping on and off thrill rides was pretty tiring, then there was the water park, only lasted 3 hours in there I actually got fed up lol 

 

Okay so thats the weekend over with Dylan loved it and went on all the big thrill rides hes so cool..... and such a good laugh... I got home and starting pricing up going to florida again we went years ago, I love it and we've been to disney paris a few times too but I loved florida more..... I could even try tie it in with the disney marathon he he he

 

15 mins xtrainer level 6  

Okay again 9.5 miles I went out at 8 min pace/effort, although some miles were slower due to the route I took which is off road trails and some sand dunes crosby way, crosby beach way which is tarmac, but a good 5 miles of off road trails and sand dunes.  then I picked the pace up gradually averaging 7.40 pace last few miles at 7.00/ 7.20 pace.  I found picking the pace up was hard on the way back as the wind was against me so the actual effort more like marathon pace really (6.45) rather than 7.00 /7.20 but all in all a good run stopped a few times to stretch my hammy just to be sure.   

 finnished off in the gym stretched and foam roller.  :-)

Oh I may have lost some weight the other week but the weekend certainly added a few pounds so still 8 lbs to lose now he he it was worth it the food was real nice, I had a lovely big piece of choc fudge cake and I smiled nice and got 3 lumps of mint choc ice cream nice one :)

Went for a long run with my friend (mad) shell, shes so funny, anyways it was meant to be 15 miles, but time was the essence, shell does about 8.40-9min pace so we cut it short and did 13.4 miles.... I actually found this hard not sure if it was as Im not feeling too great yesterday or the fact of running allot slower than normal!

 

Weather, it was spitting spitting I tell ya, and windy really quite windy and cold but ok thats horrid winter weather isnt it LOL
