Day 7 and mixed it up a bit today, well my PT mixed it up for me, we did sprints, 1.8km worth of sprints, so that was what 1.1miles. Wasn't sure if that would actually count, so took the long way round to school and plodded along for a very slow mile.

Day 8 and I can't believe I've managed to keep this going over a week. Tonight I decided to increase the distance I ran without stopping and was amazed at how comfortable I felt (remembering that I'm a dedicated jeffer) I could probably have kept going for much longer but had planned my route so decided to sprint full out for the last 50m. Did 2.89km which comes out at 1.8 miles.

Longer, supposedly slow run today, only all the sprint work I've been doing seems to have somehow translated over to my longer runs and I took a whole 15 mins off my 10km pr.

Little bit achy after yesterday's squatting but managed to get myself out on a mile loop. Will possibly do a bit of incline treadmill work at the gym this evening.

Did a couple of mile runs today, one on the pavement down to the gym and then another on a footpath to circuits. Both were at an easy pace but even my easy pace seems to be getting a little quicker.

Another basic mile done yesterday. Had PT and classes so was feeling a little achy (Well a lot achy). Most likely just going to be a basic mile today too as it's my active rest day, but tomorrow is a 5k.

Urgh I really didn't feel like running today, ToM has hit with a vengeance and had to force myself out the door. Still felt much better after and did a mile of sprints interspersed with walking recovery.

Race for Life 5k tomorrow and I will be wearing a lot of pink.

Race for Life today and pretty chuffed and annoyed with myself in equal measure. Managed to run the first 3km without stopping to walk and then only walked for a total of 3 minutes. But I wanted to get <35 minutes and I finished in 35:13. Still considering that a year ago it took me an hour and the fact I started at the back of the runners and got held up by some walkers hogging the path near the end of my second lap....

I'm actually quite impressed with myself that I'm still going. After a tough PT session yesterday morning I really didn't want to run but pushed myself to get beyond a walk to run for the first mile of the walk down to circuits.

Urgh today's mile was SLOW. Did a lot of leg work in PT and my outer thighs were hurting. But I guess that's part of the point of the streak to improve the running while tired.
