running all over the world by katie73

well we did Vegas half marathon and it was very cool.  Fireworks going off at 6am and Viva Las Vegas blaring down the strip at the same time.  The place was hoaching with Elvis impersonators. It was all a bit surreal.  I did a PB of 2.04:13 and Jenny did 2.01 which is fab.  Well done to us.

Have only done one run this year. My mate Annabelle joined me for a reassuringly ok 4.5 miles. Talked my self out of going today, lets see what tomorrow brings?

Good old John, what a star! He has come out with me on the bike the last 2 weekends.  Did 8 miles last weekend and 9 this weekend.  Both days were freezing and today it was also very wet - yuk! I have to be honest and say that if it wasnt for the upcoming half marathon then I would be inside eating cake.  Cant decide if that would be a better idea or not. 2 more long runs to go, hopefully the conditions will be more favourable. Havent been keeping my training stats bit up to date but have been going to the gym twice each week and running and doing stomach stuff.  Hopfeully that will help my weak bones...

anyway really starting to look forward to Vegas now.....

Jenny and I did the Strathclyde park 10k on Sunday morning. We got there way too early and had to hang about in the rain and wind.  The warm up happened in a muddy field in the rain so that was a bit surreal - 2000 people doing star jumps in the rain in Hamilton. Anyway it took us 56 minutes but we were ankle deep in mud and water at various points so not too bad I suppose.  Feels like an achievement and glad we did it as a kick start for Vegas....only 5 weeks to go!!
