Great to see Mr Mo winning the 10km at the European Championships we have been following him for some time in our house. Inspired i got out for a run today. Not running well at the moment. Seem to be going through a bit of a crap patch but this is all part of the up and down cycle.

Ran 3.5 miles………slowly.

Sweat Guess

I went for a run today but like i said before i haven’t been taking my GPS out with me so i just ran for an hour. I reckon i ran about 6 miles going by the unscientific method of judging distance by the amount of sweat i produced in terms of area on my t-shirt. Perhaps?

Wet

A post for 2 days.

After finishing what I needed to do at work yesterday I decided to go for a quick 3 miler but it was lashing it down (i did have a small clip to show you but i was having a mare converting mp4 to flash etc and it became to time consuming for what was a few seconds of heavy rain). So I left it for half an hour and then went out. Of course after a few minutes of running it pissed down. When I got back to my lab the rain stopped. I don’t think I could have timed it any better.

I have stopped taking my GPS and Mp3 Player for a couple of weeks so I can just enjoy the running and not worry or even think about how fast I’m going or not as the case may be.

I got out this afternoon in a pleasant drizzle as opposed to yesterdays drowning downpour. I managed a nice slow 4 miler. I really do enjoy running at a very slow pace instead of pushing it as I usually do at this sort of distance. I must run slower more often which sounds like it goes against the grain of most runners’ philosophy but it is very true in my case.

Warm

Watching the Golf and the alcohol content of beer ensured I didn’t go for a run this weekend or in fact raise my heart rate above 70 bpm. So this afternoon feeling fat I went for a nice slow 5 miler in the warm drizzle. I have also started doing a small circuit routine of press ups and sit ups which is nothing to shout about at the moment but it’s a start.

Just a quickie

Went for a 3 miler in the howling wind this afternoon so it felt more like a 6 miler. The Open Championship started today so that pretty much makes me stuck to the armchair for 4 days but i will try my best to get out ………. i promise!
