24 Weeks to Go

• Monday Rest
• Tuesday 1 hr run
• Wednesday Hill Sprints (Over did it legs were like lead after it)
• Thursday 1 hr night run
• Friday 1hr 30mins in torrential rain (like a drowned rat after it)
• Saturday (Missed my run)
• Sunday 42km 4hrs 7 mins (7 laps round the park tracks with small hills)
• Should have run further but ran out of juice (not metaphorically)
  

Walked into the pool after the Sunday run the temp gauge read 7 deg C but it felt more like -7.
Legs feel fine after the run possibly helped by the immersion in cold water but I dont think I will do it again as it was bloody cold!

• Wednesday Hill Runs
• Thursday 2 hours 24.8km
• Friday 1 Hour track through the Woods
• Saturday 30 mins of sprints
• Sunday 10km Race (Nice Prom Classic) Current official time 43:59 though I think it still has to take in the start time as I have 43:03 on my watch.
• Also did further 1 hour through the woods at night (Just back)

Quite pleased with the 10k time as I know I could have lost another min if it had not been for the congestion and bottle necks Why they thought it necessary to put all women out 5 mins ahead and to bring 2 roads into one is beyond me.

Felt very bad on the Saturday but made good recovery on the Sunday ran for the first time with a sports drink and forced myself to have a mouthful every 15 mins. First time I have finished a long run and could pee! Just had the race pack sent through. A little concerned with some of the wording it looks like we will be 'weighted' at the checkpoints.
