Friday 23 Oct.
I have yet to follow the training programme!
Went out on Sunday for a 6 mile bike ride, which was a nice change from running but still works up a sweat. A bit on the roads and a bit off road, across Hankley Common and through Elstead, past the Donkey, adjacent to which we used to live (until 1972) and which my Jack Russel used to frequent to play with Freddie, a westie, and along the track that links up with the main road before home again. Must put the seat up!
On Monday, my wife was going out with the kids for coffee, so I got her to drop me at the end of their road and ran back. About 3 miles, again too fast, but felt OK when I had got back. It still seems alarming that 3 miles is only a 9th of the total distance.
Today, struggling to find time during the week, I had to take the car to Tongham to get brakes and tyres replaced, so I got all togged up and ran back from there - 5.5 miles. Unfortunately I found that I had left the headphones for my iPod behind, so I had to sing all the way round instead. It is very hilly round here and I am benefitting from some additional training challenges. It will hopefully all stand me in good stead on the day, which is only 6 months away!!!
