I assume the Parkrun was a 5k? Great time if so.

I enjoyed a nice easy 7 miles through town.

Yep it was. Free 5k runs organised all over the world every saturday morning. Did one on Xmas eve also which was far slower but way more fun as it was the GF's first proper run back from injury since around May time. Loved every minute of it with her.

I planned for a 6 miler today, but the result of several days of serious over-eating was that I felt bloated, stiff and slow. To make matter worse I had a "bathroom emergency" but was barely able to get back home so I only finished 4.6

Taking a few days off from running and eating tons of crap sure was fun but I can really feel the results.

Yeah silver..I feel the same way when I am on the treadmill at the gym with other people around me and don't want to let the gas flow.

Yesterday I was out on the trail for 6km recovery run after my long run on Sunday. Day two of my current marathon plan.

I managed to skid on the mud, 3km out and just before my turnaround point. So a walk back to the car and then a visit to the hospital to get it checked out.

Not broken, and likely to be the ligaments in my right ankle.

So I may have to wind down from the Marathon in March if I'm uncertain about getting the mileage in. There are 20 mile, HM and 10 mile options.

Irritated doesn't quite capture it.

89 degrees F in my neck of the woods, so only managed a 4km run and 1km walk. Getting cooler in the coming days well in the mornings that is, so can get a decent run in then.

Chilly day today, so I decided to do a leisurely 10k and try out the sweet new running gear I got for Christmas. I was given a pair of capris and as I normally wear shorts, I thought I'd give them a trial run before my first 10k race of the year in January. Happy to say they passed muster, and kept me toasty and warm. Not so impressed about the fact I took a wrong turn which added another 1.3 miles onto my route. Ah well, I'm planning on a half marathon at the end of the year so I need to start building up the miles anyway.

Did 5 miles yesterday and was overdressed for the temperatures. Tonight I am on the road for work so I did a treadmill workout. I did the 3 mile USMC Physical Fitness Test and scored 76pts for doing the 3 mile run in 24:58. Did .75 to warm up and .75 to cool down, so 4.5 in total. Tomorrow is a very long work day; coincidentally it is also my rest day. YAY!

4.2 miles at 7 degrees...perfect running weather! I'm working on upping my volume and thinking about training up for a 10K.

Now thats commitment! Well done!

Didn't run today or yesterday as I've been attacked by a nasty cold with a fever. On The 1st I did a 10K in 54 and then a 4 miler on the second. Felt awful during the 4 miler as I was starting to get sick. Came back drenched in sweat, sore everything. Took a shower and ate some dinner. Fever of 101. Feeling better tonight so hopefully I'll be back in my sneakers tomorrow. Today was a rest day so if I can make it thru my 5 miler tomorrow, I'll only have missed 1 run. Happy New Year everyone!
