5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

HelenDaveKids

Gym with dd2, met up with friend for a chat, then neighbours birthday tea party. Almost managed to fit in nipping other cat for boosters as was in this morning. Glad sorted.

Long run today 13.2 in 2 hours 31. Not long now. Now ruined for rest of day.

Gosh Helen you have been busy. Hope car is repaired soon and passes.

Am sure dd is making the right decision at the right time, at least it's early in the term. Gcse's to a-levels is a huge jump isn't it.

Well done on the runs, you are really working hard! Is your HM next week? Mine was today and legs feeling it a bit now!

HelenDaveKids

2weeks to go. How did you do?

HelenDaveKids

Busy week. Rang 6 miles tonight but really struggled, had to have a 2 min walk in middle...never previously done but it was that or stop. Excuses I know, but still have a cough and hoarse voice and feel hot before I started. Was a lot sweatier after than normal.

Hi Helen, think you might have seen now but my HM time was 2:07, was really pleased as it was my first one and I really pushed myself.

Running not easy when you're unwell and tbh I have some awful runs at times. Listen to your body. Hopefully you have sweated it out!

HelenDaveKids

I think that times awesome CathT. I'd be delighted to get anywhere near 2.30


Awful week at work, all on high alert for inspections. 2 days of visits which seemed to go well. so exhausted. A few other little disasters thrown in, think little though doesn't quite describe them...


6 mile run when got home, as needed to remove the grrrrrr. Its now officially wine o clock.. let the weekend begin.

HelenDaveKids

Long run but shorter (just 9 1/2 miles) today as "tapering" ready for next Sunday. Not sure of logic but everything I have read says don't do full long run week before.


Chores done and nipped BlackBerry picking, got LOADS with dd2.


Dinner cooking, extra made for pie tomorrow,


Also washed other car as hoping week after next will be swapping it. Has been down the side of the house, under a tree, so green needed removing.


Settled into a good book as nipped to library yesterday.


Still not 100%, but hoping last bit of chesty grot will clear this week. appear to have given it Dave, but obviously his version far worse.. needing hot black currant etc.


Pay day Friday.

CathT

Tapering was suggested on my planner too. The week before I was meant to do two 3 mile runs then a 6 mile on the Friday. All i managed as I had a cold and felt rough was 2.5 miles on the Tuesday. Think my body appreciated the rest.

Good to hear you are using your wealth of experience to nurse Dave! My husband caught my 'flu' once. I'd only had a cold!

HelenDaveKids

Think probably the worst person to "nurse" Dave, we all now how sympathetic to family members we are... lol!

Seem to have had a run of disasters at work. Feel like it just likes to keep us on our toes..

Planning 2-3 short runs this week, before the "race".
