Nearly there…
On Wednesday I went to the Drs and got some prescriptions to try and help clear this cold. It’s turned into a nasty chest based cold… with a horrible cough to go with it. It’s not nice. I got a … Continue reading
Thursday Thoughts…
So it’s come to that time of the week for my Thursday thoughts… the end of my week has been overshadowed by the fact that I can’t help but take notice of the weather forecast for the weekend… for Saturday … Continue reading
Wk4 – 7.45M speedwork
After my abismal attempt at 7 miles of speedwork last Wednesday (- I only managed 2.5 miles before stopping the treadmill), I thought I would try a different approach. Here was the plan before last nights run: Run outside, and not on … Continue reading
Wk4 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
Monday morning and I really struggled to get up to go for a run this morning. It’s lucky I was meeting Gill or I would have probably given it a miss! I woke at 2am, couldn’t sleep, then started to … Continue reading
Wk3 – 6.5M around Clyde and Paisley Road West
I met Fit Girl on Thursday night and ran around her usual flat 4 mile route around the Clyde with her, then I added on a few miles on my own. Fit Girl is coming back from injury (IT Band) … Continue reading
Wk52 – 5.1M Tempo Queens Park
Wednesday morning and as it’s the only day I’m at work over the Festive Period, I thought I’d squeeze in a wee run before work to get it out of the way. I didn’t do anything on Tuesday apart from … Continue reading
Wk48 – Early morning Icy run after being stood up by Paul!
Friday morning and I’d arranged to meet Paul at Bella at 6:30am then run 6 miles around a route we’d done once before together. The last time I attempted the route I ended up double backing on myself, so I was … Continue reading
Wk46 – 4.3M Maxwell Park
After my long run on Saturday I felt pretty good. On Sunday I wasn’t sore, apart from a little niggle on the top of my right foot where I went over my ankle. I’ve managed somehow to slightly strain the … Continue reading
Running in the dark
The arrival of winter, especially once the clocks go back on the last Sunday in October, can be bad news for runners. The rigorous training regime you established during the summer becomes a distant memory as the cold, wet weather … Continue reading
Wk43 – 5.1M Queens Park
I’d been looking forward to my planned training for Thursday night all day: a 5 mile run and 45 minutes of Kettlebells. Then as usual, at about 4:45pm, my enthusiasm for the impending exercise waned a little and I had … Continue reading
