Bad Blogger!
Apr0620095:13 p.m.
So it's been 4 weeks - where did they go?! I'm not proud to announce that in that time i've run a total of twice.... hmm, that's really really rubbish isn't it?! And the last of them was three weeks ago tomorrow, so I really must get back to it sometime very soon, or my legs will have forgotten what to do!
Running aside, all is good in the life of me. I've been doing some walking and a few pilates sessions, so not all gone to pot. The osteopath has signed me off as being healthy again, and the back is mostly behaving itself now.
I did a very hilly 16 mile walk across the Kent countryside yesterday which went really well,and I even decided to carry a rucksack with me for the first time which was a real test for the back, and thankfully i had no probs with it. According to the Garmin, across the whole walk we did ascents totalling 2126m and descents totalling 1974m, so it really was pretty hilly.... sadly, due to vaguely trying to impress the company i was in, i couldn't even whinge too much about the 'undulations' so it was a heads down and get on with it sort of a thing! The scary thing is that Trailwalker will be almost 4 times the length of yesterday's walk - I think there'll be blisters on the blisters by the end of it!
Other excitement is that I randomly filled out an online application form for a new tv gameshow ages ago, and found out on Saturday that I'm going to be on it! It's called Sell Me The Answer and is going to be on Sky One, presented by the rather lovely Gethin Jones. I'm going to be on 12 shows from what i can work out, and they're being filmed on 9/11/12/13 May, so fingers crossed for me to try and win some money (although it seems I may have to lie and cheat to do so, so I'll have to practise my lying, cheating face over the next month!!).
In my 4 weeks of laziness, thankfully you have all been keeping the home fires burning with some great running, training and racing, a huge well done to all of you!
