Good effort, JJ, especially the day after a hard sesh.

What: Rest up.
Why: Racing tomorrow.
Hard: Thursday 5 mile flat out.
Rest: Wednesday.

Had a cracking gentle 30 mins last night at HM pace. Loved every second (once I'd got warm!). So important to forget 'training' and run for fun once in a while!

Does that make me a "jogger"?

Bravo Josie!

What: 6 Miles. (1hr, 14min, but I don't mind that: I got out and did it). First post cold.

Absolutely gorgeous in the frost.

Legs still very numb, left foot pretty much not functioning, so there's lots to get back. Still, it's a start.

why : schedule says so and don't want too hard a session before tomorrow's club cross country.
last hard : thursday
last rest : tuesday

New HRM arrived in post today (Polar A3) so it'll be making it's first journey with me. Hopefully i can use it to help me run slow enough. May post update later.....

Afternoon people!

Well run Josie, sub 2hrs just round the corner!

Good luck all racers this weekend including me tomorrow. My calves are feeling a bit stiff so hoping today's rest will be enough to ease them.

So nothing for today, just total rest, well apart from birthday present shopping.

Congrat's JJ - that's a lot to knock off! Sub 2 soon :)

Off to lie down. Not feeling brilliant still.
