erm im gonna probally have a go tomorrow then from tomorrow ill start back on a normal plan, and gradually make my way back up. but . . i think im going to try and concentrate on cross country and fell running for a while. im not going to be worth anything of a runner in a few years time if im doing half marathons and stuff on the road all the time. plus i love running cross country's. .gettin dirty is my fortay!

woop woop woop !! *high five*
i just got back !! another half bites the dust !!!!!!!!!
yee if anyone wants an unbeleiveable half, u gotta do lake vyrnway ! its the best place to run in the world! started offf at the 90-120 minutes group, got the first hardest mile of the whole thing out the way, it 1/4 incline i think (not really steep) and then goin over the dam i got to the other side, and i saw this woman who kinda was infront of me for like a while, so i thought Hmm ill see if this is the "one" i can pace myself on. so i did 2-3-4 behind her, going back and to like a yo yo but never letting her get out of sight. then i got to 5, and i said "sorry im using you as a bit of a pace maker, hope you dont mind" then i got tlkin to her for 3ish miles, oh ye i forgot . . from the start to now i was clocking off 8,30 ish minute miles. then i got to 8 and i thought . . hmm i feel quite good maybe ill put a push on. so i left her and went of. but then i got about half way through 9. and my ham strings started tightening up. and i thought Oooh no . . this is wot u get for no training in 3 months lol. but then i got to just before 10. and she comes up behind me and says "we meet again" so she gee'd me on and i stuck with her talking away 10-11 then i thought . . ive got a mile and then the downhill to the finish. cant be tooo hard  so i pushed like crazy, got the last 2 in under 8 minute miles. i think maybe the last 1 was about 7:20 lol. then i got over the line and like collapsed over the barrier hehe. but all in all wot a race. . finnished in 1:53:02 so im soooo happy. since may 24th ive not even run until last weekend when i did 10.5. then i did 2.2 on wednesday nite. and straight into a half mara lol.
I hope everyone had an amazine day. weather was brill : )
