ho hum

its all very dispiriting

I am no quicker, no fitter and no thinner than I was a year ago


so I entered Robin Hood hoping to do a better time than last year

but my training runs are no quicker than they were a year ago


I haven't run more than 8 miles since FLM


and the race is next Sunday!


I have this nasty feeling I am going to hate it

all the other forumites will be long gone from the pub by the time I finish ............................................

TP and I will start together but not sure whether we will stick together

she has not run further than last wweeks 8 miles EVER

and her shoes are not right, blisters last week and today's run was shorter than planned cos she was getting rubbing



BUT I had a good run with TP today - slow, but see above



distance 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.01 5.01
time 13:33 13:15 13:42 14:33 13:06 14:48 1:08:24
AHR 131 146 148 141 146 149 142


we did run a mile walk a minute and I stopped to stretch my calves in each of the minutes - so these times include that stretching time

TP did some good stretching with me afterwards - especially of my hamstrings and hip flexors

Oh what a beautiful morning!
