16 weeks to Edinburgh................ by Dave_H

Have had a good first week to my training for Edinburgh.After monday's five miles,tuesday was four easy miles.Wednesday did ten miles,was supposed to do six but wanted a few more as next week won't have so many miles as have a race on sunday.Went up to Blackheath,loop around the heath and then a couple of times around Greenwich park.Just caught the school rush with the mum's and there buggies.Thursday was another five miles at a brisker pace,felt ok.Friday was rest day.Yesterday went up to Ipswich to my nieces birthday party.Managed to decline any cake or party food until after the run.Another five miles,across some fields and along a river.Was a bit muddy but nice to get out in the country instead of having fumes pumped down my throat in south London.Today done sixteen miles,down to Greenwich and along the thames path.Always enjoy this run as there is plenty to look at.Saw the police boat and then the RNLI speeding down the river.Have managed to resist a siesta this afternoon.Next week will have a shorter mileage week as am running the Sidcup 10 on sunday with my brother,is meant to be a fast/flat course.Saturday will be helping at a parkrun event,check them out www.parkrun.org.uk Hope everyone's training is going well and you have a good week.
