62 Days To Go

A up and down few days since I last posted. We went to the gym on Friday due to the lads being away and just how boring is treadmill running. I had planned to do just a quick 10km's but had to finish after 6 because I was just sooooooo bored. I though it might be a good change and might be different watching a bit of telly whilst running but god how do people do it.

An easy 5 on saturday in preparation for the latest race this year, The Great North West Half Marathon in Blackpool on Sunday.

4 inches of snow didnt put off the two super athletes from Wigan, the 10 mile hike from the car to the start line, my fault, nearly did though.















And just to prove we did turn up in our shorts in the snow and run.

A great run and two PB's for the second time in two weeks. I got 1:32:52 official time which is 3 mins quicker than my last and also included, annoyingly, a wardrobe malfunction which meant i had to stop after 4 miles and take my shoe off and fix the inner sole and Swav did 1:32:11 which is about 5 mins off his last. There was no last mile sprint this time though. I dont know if I put a bit too much effort in after stopping to try and make up the lost time but there really was nothing left after that and it was a pleasure to get across the line.















The legs feel ok today, muscles are a bit stiff but not too bad. We will crack on this week and get some more training done, the next race is a 20miler in about 5 weeks with another half marathon in about 8 weeks again back in Blackpool so hopefully we will be after getting another PB.
