Well, I did wk 5 run 1 today. What a bad idea - just yesterday I was sure I'd do another 2 x wk 4 runs first, and I had loads of walking yesterday (3 x 2 mls), and not much sleep last night (too cold).

Anyway, I had the mad idea that as wk 4 is 2 x 3 mins runs and 2 x 5 min runs, surely wk5 would be fine at 3 x 5 min runs.....er no. Or maybe it was just a bad day ... suspect I'll be on wk 5 run 1 for a while before moving onto the second one as it's 2 x 8 min runs.

Drea - did you go out tonight ???

Ok I didn't do my run tonight but I really was going to, I promise! When I got home there was a man here to look at my plumbing because I've had no water the past couple of nights, so he was here for ages and then I had to have a shower while I had water (it keeps going off at night for some reason) because he didn't know what the problem was!

I was going to get home then changed and straight back out but I just couldn't. I've not given up, don't worry!

If anyone is near the running shop in Liverpool (Bold Street) they have some really good deals on- 2 items for £20 etc. I got some long running pants and a long-sleeved thermal top for £20- both very good quality and would have come to £65 if I'd paid full price!

Well it was your birthday so I thought your running buds should know.

Well I'm going to run round the reservoir today (if I write it down then I'm less likely to chicken out ). It's just over 5k on fairly good footpaths. Best bit is the first 1.5k is shallow downhill from the dam. The rest of it is hilly in parts, but that's ok.

I hope that after Tuesdays 'Snail Pace Race' I might be able to get my legs going this morning.

Cool runnings to all going out today.


ETA: Well it's about 1.40. I've tried setting off twice now for the res, but it won't stop raining. Usually rain isn't a problem, but it's windy too and at the reservoir I can't just turn round and come home if I get soaked to the skin halfway round. I think for my own safety I'm going to postpone until tomorrow.
