Ready for change.... by missycat

Hi, sorry havent updated for a while - been very busy with end of term things to do!

Saturday had a session at the gym with PT and she has upped the regime again - yeah! so to start with, insted of just lunges around the studio, I had to do lunges around the gym (studio was being used) with a weight (15kg) on my shoulders!! Great!! one legged squats with weights are defo my forté and I can now do 10 press ups properly! am stil enjoying the session but just as it's starts to get easier and more enjoyable she goes and chnages it to make it harder!!! I know that's what needs to happen but still...

Monday evening running with Sole Sisters was great. Started at Bristol City Football ground and went through the park opposite to get to the towpath opposite the portway by the railway track. Ran about a mile and a half along there under the Suspension bridge then went up this rather large hill (very awkward terrain) which was very wet and slippy and no-one managed to run up it really so was alot of fast walking and running when it wasn't so slippy/muddy! At the top of that hill we went round leigh woods and past so huge houses which had amazing views over Bristol and got to Ashton Court entrance. Ran through Ashton Court past the house and cam eout at the bottom by Bower Ashton. Downhill a lto of the way so was good for pace etc and the last little hill at the bottom I went fairly fast (for me!) and then when I got onto the flatter bit decided to see if I could keep the pace/technique up and I could - felt like I was flying - to others probably was stil slow but for me it felt great!! Louise said she was talking to me and then suddenly I was gone! we did 4/5 miels a bit cross country, couple of hills with the one hge one then lots of down hill. Really enjoyed it. the great thing now is that I don't stop to walk at all! We had about 4 regroup points where we wait for each other (usually about 2-3mins) and thats it! So much easier to push through the barrier now and hopefully next step is working on speed

Ta da for now. End of term this week so apart from a qucik session tonight, next run is Monday evening on the Downs.
