Running Scared
10/01/10
5 miles. 52 long minutes. On the dull-as-hell treadmill.
I can’t prove this run because Dotty decided she doesn’t like gyms and wouldn’t work on the treadmill. Lazy cow. But I thought the gym would be preferable to breaking my neck on the icy streets of Newcastle. HATE gyms, mind you. Sooooooooo boring doing 5 miles on the same spot. But I’m ‘ard. So I did it. Waiting for the snow to melt now…
12/01/10 & 14/01/10
5 miles on treadmill. 3.5 miles on treadmill followed by a swim. 48 minutes and 34 minutes. Slow-arse and bored both times!
Dotty decided to work on these occasions but has a tendency to just make up the mileage! Still hate the treadmill at the gym, although the swim after on Thursday was quite relaxing. Gonna have a go at a 7-miler on Sunday…

8.5(ish) miles. 01 hr, 25 mins. Go Rach!
Unexpected! Took meself off for a run, got slightly lost, encountered a few hills and managed to do 8.5 or so miles. (8.31 if you listen to Dotty but we don’t do we?!) Bang on track for this marathon in 18 weeks…

7.08 miles. 01 hr, 05 mins. Not sure what’s got into me!
This was meant to be a 5 mile run but I just decided to keep going! A bit like Forest Gump. But slightly less goofy. I hope. Seems having a change of scene and fresh air really does the job. Will do another 3 miles on the treadmill toinight and treat myself to a relaxing swim after. Get me and my healthy routines…

9.5 miles. 01 hr, 33 mins. Proud of me!
This whole ‘sticking-to-my-training-plan’ lark is most unprecedented. Dotty reckons I did 9.1 miles today but I make it more like 9.5. And me and my 7 selves are never wrong are we?! Running in Newcastle is wicked. Lots of fresh air, green stuff, big houses to nosy at and hills to growl my way up. Doubt I’d have been running this far, this soon in Slough now eh?!
