Happy New Year
Dec3120097:39 p.m.
Breaking a cardinal rule here...posting a post without any running to report! But it's that time when we tend to look back over the year just ending. And what a year it's been... a bit of a roller-coaster tbh - with plenty of ups and downs (too many downs...) - a nice boring 2010 would be ideal at the moment! Just a return to a little bit of running, oh and apparently we're moving house in the Spring...
Anyway looking back at 2009, and just like football, for me it was a year of two halves. First half was great, really got into a regular training programme, and rewarded with PB after PB. Redcar Half Marathon in April I think was probably the best run I'll ever see. But paid for it big time since, with foot and calf problems still dragging on...
So like last year, as I close-down the training spreadsheet for 2009, thought I would post a few unimpressive stats;
Total Miles Run = 370
No. Runs = 79
No. Races = 8
No. PBs = 6
Minutes knocked off PB for half-marathon = 26
No. Rides In Ambulance = 1 (don't think I mentioned this at the time!!)
Pairs Running Shoes Worn Out = 1
Lbs lost = 7
Lbs put back on again = daren't check!
No. times ready to bin the running shoes once and for all = countless!Happy New Year everyone

Run no.2
Run no.2 tonight in the 'cunning plan' - another 26 minute run/walk session round the local streets. That left calf still feeling decidedly tight,...

malcolms 'Don't be ashamed of yourself or feel too down, 6 PBs in 8 races is stonking good form - and 5 more races than I did! 26 mins of a half marra time is a phenomenal performance. Do hope that the injuries start to improve soon, and hope you have a good 2010. fingers crossed for tthe house move.' added 1st 一月 2010
