    December runs
    02/12/09 - 2m around 24mins
    06/12/09 10k race 1:12:41 11:42/m
    17/12/09 6m 1:09:26 11:34/m
    28/12/09 4m 46:55 11:43/m
    31/12/09 10m 2:00:02 12:00/m (last 10miler was 7/11/09 and did that in 2:00:27)

    Evening all. Hope you are all enjoying your New Year's Eve, we are home again with two poorly boys :rolleyes:

    Anyway I started out on a 8m lsr this morning but at the 1/2 way decided to make it a 10miler. In hindsight this maybe wasn't the best idea as you can see I haven't had many runs in December due to either ice or illness. Really struggled with the last 2 miles but completed it so happy enough, however once I got home I felt so sick & lifeless I went for a lie down whilst hubby did lunch and it was only once I started to eat that I realised that I hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, no wonder I felt so rough! :mad: Note to self, never do that again!! Hubby is back to work on Monday so I am now planning to get another run in at the weekend whilst he is around for childcare before things get back to being difficult!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE & ALL XXX

    Hannah that is a very good run considering - when it sinks in you will be pleased - you felt really rough and you still beat you previous time :D

    Fri1/1 parkrun Banstead Woods 5K 18:48 (6:03/mile) (4th) [73.27%] (http://www.parkrun.org.uk/banstead-woods/Results.aspx)

    We set off this morning with temperatures in positive territory and then slowly watched the thermometer fall as we drove towards Banstead. It was something like -2c as we arrived at Banstead which was very brrrrrrrrr..

    So we arrived nice and early but couldnt find any evidence of a race, ran a lap of the course and then found 2 people who looked as confused as us. It turns out the start time had been put back to 10am to allow one or two people to do the double of Bushy and Banstead.

    In the end there was a good turn out of 96 runners, very impressive for a freezing New Years morning.

    The race itself went surprisingly well - I was expecting a very laboured performance after doing 55 miles in the last 5 days, and considering Banstead is a hilly course, but in fact I felt strong and managed to work through from an early 11th position up to 4th by the end of the first lap and then consolidated that on the 2nd lap. The time of 18:48 was very surprising so I'm a happy little bunny!

    Becky got another PB somehow too and 1st in age group, so a very successful morning all round.

    Now on to tomorrow for more fun....:D:D

    :D:D

    24:12 for me (a pb by 4 seconds ;)), but on a tough course so is a good time...for comparison I am 17 seconds quicker than Bromley but Rich is 8 seconds slower so I think the sub 24 could be on soon :)
