Happy Christmas Everyone

It thawed and rained a bit so I had to go out for a jog, Xmas day or not.

3.1m
36mins

very slow as I nearly went arse over tit several times in the ice.

Boxing Day
Hurrah its raining
3.1m
30mins

that makes it -13m on the silly statement stakes.

Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow!

We got snowed in at the wedding - 10 in 1 room.
Managed to get home, but the snow and ice has been too treacherous for running.

No, honest it has!

Silly statements

So I said to myself  "I'm going to run one mile for each alcoholic drink I have!"

Then I remembered the next 4 weeks includes 1 wedding, a birthday, Xmas and new year.

Ran
3.1m
30mins

I now have 14 miles in the bank for the wedding.

Excuses Excuses

Well what can I say. No entries for over a month.

Several reasons, some good some shit. You decide.

1. Sons Birthday (12yrs old)

2. My dad very ill (7weeks in hospital)
3. My birthday (46yrs gulp)
4. My dad died (81yrs old)
5. Funeral/wake (alcohol and tears)

6. Nieces wedding (good weekend)
7. Daughters birthday (14yrs old)
8. Nephews wedding (next weekend)

I have been jogging when the motivation grabbed me, so i'll summerize here.

14 runs
55.7 miles
9hrs 39mins

better than nothing, I guess

Old Ground

Decided to run an old route I've done many times over the last few years.
Should take about 30mins for 3.2m.
A fast downhill then a steady run finishing with a tough uphill bit.

not bad - didn't push too hard.

Pixie Power

Dropped the kids off in guildford for thier weekly diving lesson, so off for a jog I go.

A nice slow jog around Stoke Park a couple of times.
Trouble is it was so dark I couldn't see a bl**dy thing!
It was on grass and I could only see about 5metres infront of me, every time I saw a shadow I thought it was a dip or a hole, so I lengthened my stride or jumped it.
There were no holes or dips.

I can't imagine what I looked like hoping and leaping around a field in the dark like some pot fueled pixie.

Anyway...
2.9m

No more running in the dark for me.

Food for thought

Saturday

1st thing    = Coffee
Breakfast  = Chicken wrap in McDonalds.
Dinner      = 2 slices of Cheese on toast and coffee
Snack       = Cream cake
Tea           = Microwave Hotdog
Supper      = 3 slices of Dominoes Pizza

I think I may have to review my diet!

Gently Does It

Saturday today and my legs only stopped aching yesterday.

1.8 miles then 4 days to recover - not a great start.

Anyway,

just down the hill and back up nice and easy.

Now for four days recovery. ha ha
It probably will be because I'm on nights again this week, then I'll start trying to run 3 times a week.

Gently does it.

First jog

Last time I ran was in June - so went for a very slow, very short jog yesterday.

Thighs a bit sore this morning.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Head Ache

Woke up this morning with a splitting head ache.
Alcohol induced obviously - to much red wine and a late night.

The post man came and to my shock/horror/surprise
it was my acceptance to the VLM2010.

Oh shit.
