Oh to be a Runner! by lisarodgers

Where does the time go?

Last weekend I was in London for the Barnardo's training day at Battersea Park where I met and ran with Daley Thompson.  Very charismatic chap and I spent the whole time totally in awe and admiring his very fine physique  

 The day ended with a run in laps around the park.  I buddied up with a lovely lady and we got on like a house on fire and comfortably ran 5.5 miles in around 57 minutes. It was nice to run with someone as I mostly run alone.

Hubby came with me for the weekend and on Saturday night we went out for dinner and watched Chicago and generally just chilled.  Was a very nice weekend all told! 

This weeks training consisted of 5 miles on Tuesday and again on Thursday which was all I could fit into an extremely hectic shedule.  I had planned on 10-11 miles this morning but was greeted with 4 inches of snow when I threw back the curtains.  Hence, I closed said curtains and promptly got back in bed.  In hindsight, the extra rest will do no harm as have been feeling a little under par these past few days. 

 Tomorrow I finish work at lunch time so am planning to go to the gym as I can't see that the weather will improve that much and I suspect it will still be rather icy out there... so the dreadmill for a few miles instead me thinks and a bit of cross training.

Roll on the spring!
