Tough S&C, equally tough HB

So tired. Loads of cardio at S&C then off to HB 

Bedtime x

Prosecco, dinner in London and the Winchester 10k

Friday evening at the Brewery with shed loads of Prosecco, sister Debs, Claire over from the IOW and a gaggle of Ashtead mums.

Saturday popped in to see dad, cup of tea with mum then up to London for cocktails and catch up with Jules and Alison. It'll be 30 years this October when we all started at King Alf's!!

This morning was the Winchester 10k - quite hilly although i'm thinking it'll be nothing compared to the Leith Hill half next weekend.

1:12.25 - smashed it :)

Tough HB session then 2k oj the track

Great HB session. Pretty much non stop till the third set. 95% is tough. I really wanted to stop but didnt. Feeling very proud :)

Then up to the track. Didnt do the tough tri club set bit instead did 5 laps

I'm now chilling in my armchair while rewatching Madam Secretary. Yet another great day x

Love LRR's Runcamp session at the track

Love the track.

The fast boys and girls running with the not so fast. Everyone on the track, no-one left behind. So inclusive yet everyone gets a brilliant workout.

Wendy and I ran 5.3km in 35.59.13 while chatting.

Not chatting non stop, we were out of breath, but the 600m run, 200m recovery x6 times then 500m meant we absolutely smashed it :)

600m / 200m
3.47.53 / 1.33.81
3.58.52 / 1.31.20
3.55.00 / 1.32.88
3.54.15 / 1.31.99
3.54.63 / 1.36.23
3.51.16 / 1.33.65
3.19.11 (500m)

= 35.59.13

Am now quite tired.

Suzanne ill so cancelled HB session - washing up, laundry, further back in time for dinner 40s, race cake snacks and in bed before 11pm.

I must get focused on my training. Brighton is about Six weeks away. Eeeeeep.

Run Leading, Mettricks burger and Sprinkles ice cream. Fab evening :)

I'm really loving the Run Leading with Josh :)

Pyramids this eve with seven group A's. Two regular, two returners and three newbies. Running to lamposts with some S&C between each set. Did four sets.

Then fast cycle to Mettricks Guildhall to meet Suzanne and Katherine for burgers and catch up. Pudding at Sprinkles. New episode of Criminal Minds.

Such a fabulous evening x

Fabulous weekend - big sis's party, run and swimming

At tri club I went sub two mins for 100m!! 

Over the moon. 

Mabes an 8min 400m is possible by the end of the season. Which means of course that I'm just getting quicker and quicker.

Saturday Eve we were all up the Leg for big sis's 50th Bday party. Loved it.

Then Becky and I went for a run this morning on Ashtead common. 1:31.54 - we reckon 11-12km. Not sure for certain as Becky's run app stopped working at 8.5km but we then did another 30 odd mins of running hence figuring about 11/12 km :)

A wonderful weekend.
