So it was one year ago that I started to run!
From 6x 1 minute intervals to this week 43 miles and today 3 laps of Virginia Waters Lake starting at 5 am.
Including blasting that small hill - felt good.
It's already been a journey but it is only just beginning.
Looking forward to changing the training plan and getting more speed :o)

Tick... tick... tick... tick !
You should never laugh at other mis fortune.
Re-listening to Marathon Talk (Ep 2) and laughed at the rant on runners with bloody shirts due to lack of attention to abrasion.... got home to have blood on my white short pointed out to me!!!!
Now about 5 weeks to Nottingham - OMG!!!
Another note to self: after a stressful day sometimes it makes running very hard! The stress of the day was all to do with the house move and getting various people to actually do what they said they would do, when they said they would do it!!! So the ten miles last night seemed really tough - positive note was I kept going and apart from the blood injuries was still chugging along at the end..... slow and steady! Funny to think this time next week I will have to be finding a new local circuit to run - bye bye Blue Mountain golf course!

Moving times
So doing 3 hours of moving boxes from the loft to the garage before doing a 10k not the best....
Certainly a step up of training...

Formally 1000km
So a milestone on the Nike+ site - 1,000km (so about 625 miles) since I started tracking. Which is just over 100 hours on my feet.
Means less as due to flat batteries I didn't track anything during April - including the LM.
But still a formal note of the effort gone in to date....
It's a life style :o)

First run in ages that felt like it should...
Think the suffering on the tow path may have put me back on track... last night did a 9 miler and it felt like it should.
I think this week's Marathon Talk helped a lot as well.... kept me out there for the full go.
Let's see how today's 6 miler goes before getting too up.
Good that in re-syncronising with my training plan - having missed 6 or 10 weeks - is an easy week. Next week will be the full test, resulting in a 20 miler on the Sunday.
Let's see...
