Hello blog followers!
I'm not sure how many of you are out there yet but I've had a couple of people asking me about my 'next post' which is encouraging!
I think it's fair to say that since we last spoke the training has been going well! I had a bad cold at the end of October which put me out of action for 4/5 days and the difference that made in the following week was horrifying - fitness takes weeks or months to build up and yet it seems that you can lose it in matter of days - very unfair! At the end of this bad spell I took part in a 10k race in Battersea Park which I completed in 51minutes which I was pretty happy with.There's another event in December so I'm hoping to improve on my time then.
I've now upped my training from 3 to 4 times a week which seems to be having a positive impact on my overall fitness. Mid-week I'm runnning 3-5 miles/session and at the weekend I'm running a total of about 15miles. I've forced myself to run in the rain a couple of times in preparation for the winter ahead but the generally mild weather has given me a very gentle introduction to unseasonal running!
I've also discovered the joys of Mars chocolate milk (Mars, if you'd like to sponsor me that would be fine!). Not only is it a great refuel after a longer run but it also tastes amazing. The only issue at the moment is that once a carton is open it doesn't seem to last that long - I have my suspicions that other members of the family might have developed a taste for it too!
That's pretty much all for this post. Please become a 'follower' if you enjoy the blog and post comments too if you have any valuable hints or tips.
xxxxxxx
