I'm a Run Leader :)

Spent the day in the sports centre of Abingdon school with Emily from LRR doing our Run Leader training.

Brilliant fun.

New shoes :)

Love love love Up and Running running shop over in Chandlers Ford. Kevin from tri club manages it - he's so knowledgeable about all things running! He even gave me the low down on my upcoming races.

Meon Valley half - def wear new trail shoes.

Gosport half - a really friendly Road race.

Portsmouth Coastal marathon - 80% road running so new road shoes will be fine and loads of people dress up as so close to Christmas.

Shoes were an absolute bargain and so comfortable. I literally cannot wait to wear them!
Very happy x

5k PB (I think) and Brighton marathon entry :)

What a day!!
Final places for the Brighton marathon 9/4/17 on sale... Shall I or shan't I book myself a place??

By lunchtime I'd totally weakened and reached for my credit card!
All booked :)

Then this evening at the track with Southampton tri club we all did a 5k time trial. OMG - 31.17.38

I'm still in shock x

Eights weeks to go till the Portsmouth coastal marathon :)

How confident am I feeling?

Well... Okay actually, I'm def feeling as if I'll be able to complete it within the cutoff time of six hours.

Just need to do those long runs... Got two half marathons and a 10k booked but I will need to do some runs of three hours or more. The key for.me is to not get bored within forty mins and stop. I need to get some long runs under my belt. Twenty six miles is a really long way!!!!

Tim Wilkes Training Day - 22/10/16

Finally I'm able to make one :)
Tim was a member of the club who died while competing in a triathlon. I never had the pleasure of knowing him but members who did talk fondly of him so I know I'd of liked him alot.

It's brilliant fun.
400m timed swim at the quays
Then we all pile over to Lyndhurst for s 10mile TT.
Then over to the happy cheese and a short walk to a 4k run.
Finishing with lunch at the New Forest Inn (by Ashurst station)

Weather was super. Plenty of members took part.

400m 8.49
10miles 41.25
4k 26.33
Total = 1:16.47

Back tyre explored - was pretty spectacular! Luckily Tom had his turbo training spare tyre in the car so Darryl quickly changed it. Hoorah. Able to ride. Loved it.
