bad runs, good runs, and great runs...
Hi everyone!
I know we don't seem to be blogging loads lately, I think it's just one of those things, try to get on here as much as we can and keep up with everyone but feel so busy, can't always manage a post ourselves!!
Anyhoo - we had a good weekend, I (Pam...thought I would reclaim blogland - lol!!!) managed some successful trailwalker fundraising by doing a weight watchers bake sale. It was great and made a lot more than I had expected, they really are a very supportive bunch there (including our own MotherH!!). Thank you!!
On Sunday me and Chris decided to do a 10km run, one last one before GMR. Chris was determined to get to the end under the hour and we did manage it (58:19) even though I threw a little strop at about 6km and actually stopped (seriously!). Not sure why but I found it really, really, really tough mentally. Chris got me through it well and he was fresh as a daisy at the end (thanks Chris - you were a great pace bunny!). We have decided to GMR together, as it is an extra-special race in our little hearts and we're going to aim for under the hour. Meeting on G-MEx steps is a good plan for us, we'll probably be there 8-8:30ish, depending on gmpte/Stagecoach!
I went to the gym this morning to try to regain a little confidence after Sunday's bad run. It actually went pretty well. Did 5km on the treadmill in 31 minutes (which is a good treddie result for me - I am usually MILES slower on the treadmill!). Feeling good now, just hoping it lasts till Sunday. I think we'll aim to do a run tomorrow night, then rest and get hyped!!! Can't wait to see everyone who is running it this year there and also anyone who might be coming along to MotherH and Martin's (and the rest of the H family's) do for Simon on Saturday. A lovely way to spend the day before GMR - thank you.
Take care everyone, hope everyone is well and having a great week!!!
Big hugs from the P (and hi from the C of course!)

tinabee 'Give yourself a shake girl! Fancy getting a strop on a 10K when you managed a fabby half marathon not so long ago! Perhaps 10K is too short for you now? :-) No more wobblies allowed - you both have a super run on Sunday. PS. Chris - I didn't put the wrong age on my application for the athletics club - unfortunately I now qualify as a Veteran runner (possibly a super vet for some races!) :-(' added 13th May 2009
