Swimming last night, managed 26 lengths so well pleased with that. Problem with the chlorine in the water though, very pink eyes by the time we finished, Si sneezing all night as well. Headache this morning after swimming so cancelled tempo run and plan it for tonight after work, see how I go, it needs nailing now - come on Fi get a grip!!

Monday 18 August 2014

Well, starting over again with this!! Have had a really good couple of weeks, so just a little recap!! From 14 July to end July, 3 weeks, really struggled, I was hurting everywhere, even at the very start of my runs, couldn't find any reason for it, only thing I could think of is that maybe I was fighting something off. Loads of niggles, sore right ankle, sore right foot, sore calf, seemed to be trying really hard but getting nowhere fast. Week commencing 04.08.14: I was like a light switch going on, my aches and pains seemed to dissappear, I felt stronger, lighter, the weather was definately a bit cooler so not sure if that made a difference. Used my Tuesday and Thursday runs as base line for my next phase of training. Started swimming on Monday night, feels good. Week commencing 11.08.14: 2 tempo runs planned for Tuesday and Thursday, not a bad tempo run on the Tuesday, didn't quite hit my target 10.19 over the 4 miles so not too far off. Thursday tried tempo over 6 miles, felt sick after 3 miles and had to stop, tried some new sweets so obviously not for me!! Managed 5 miles. Brilliant long run on the Sunday 10 miles along the Mawddach trail, pan flat, didn't manage my 4 miles at HM Pace, but felt good!! Now need to nail that pace this week. Swimming tonight (18.08.14)
