6 weeks to go

Can't believe the time is going so quick. Luckily I seem to have got my mojo back and this week has been a good running week, with about 24 miles in the bag.

Went out with PWR again on tuesday and did 5.4 miles, nice and easy. I like to talk  to someone when I am running so I usually make the first move and find someone who I can chat with on the way round, this week it was a nice south African lady, of course we spent the hour mainly discussing poor old Oscar, silly sod.  So wednesday was a track session at Queen Bees, not my favourite and so bloody cold but hey it all helps. This week being half term I donned my trainers at lunchtime on thursday and managed 3 miles round Bickley, including some lamppost sprints.. Love going out at lunchtime, really clears my head but would just be impossible most days during term time, when we say "what's a lunch break?".

Day off Friday and a walk round Norman Park with my dear friend Andrea and kids but god that was cold.  When will this winter end?!

Back to parkrun and another minute quicker than last week - big smiley!!!!

So today was the Long Run with Claire.  Having woken up about 3 times in the night fretting about how I would manage the planned 8 miles, I set off to meet her after I had scoffed my usual porridge.  And we had a lovely run and did...... Wait for it..... 9.5 miles!!!!

Couldnt beleive it, it was easier than last week's 7 and we felt GOOD!

Now I am starting to think more positively about the 10 miler in 2 weeks and the half.

It's all in the mind, I have decided!!!!
