Blurry vision is here to stay…
I went back to the Opticians today (a different one, referred by my GP) to get my eyes checked. After my long run a few weeks ago, I generally felt wiped out and blurry vision wasn’t helping things. I noticed … 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
Wk3 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
After missing my run with Gill on Monday morning (due to lack of sleep on Sunday night) I’d arranged to meet her on Tuesday morning to do our 5 mile loop instead. I felt ok, if a little tired when … 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
Wk45 – 5M thankfully I have my (lighter) legs back
This morning I was relieved to find that my heavy legs from Tuesday night had disappeared… that’s what I get for swimming 3k then trying to run 10k! 🙂 My legs were back to normal and I could run easily… … 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
Wk44 – 8.5M Muirend Cathcart
Friday morning and it was usually my rest day, but I decided after a short run on Wednesday and a 5 miler on Thursday, I wanted to do another run this week. I’d originally planned on running 6-8 miles on … Continue reading
