In training...

At last I feel I am back. Ran saturday and promised myself I'd get out every second day now - trying to get a bit of an addiction while on holiday! SO today I decided to do a hilly 10k [8 hills - undulating comprising of just under 5k in ups and similar for down in total]. Have been tempted to try some hill running after reading Rachel's adventures on the hills on facebook. Sounds like fun! I used to hill run when I was much younger [say about 20 years ago] when Andrew [hubby] and I were into hillwalking but that fell by the wayside when Andrew did his knees - as he always does everything in excess - and now his max distance is 7 miles! There is nothing I'd love more than going on a long 15 or 16 miler with Andrew! One for the wishlist! Coped fine today with a steady 56 mins. Wasn't pushing it - just wanted to enjoy the hills!

Aiming for a fast session with Andrew on Wednesday [it is never anything but fast with Andrew - I don't have the choice! Although it is slow for him]! So that will be my speed session for the week!

After all the raving about my new shoes I fell over on my ankle today on my left foot! Shocking the living daylights out of a dog walker with my expletives I fell onto the ground moaning! I must have really frightened off the dog walker because he looked over at me the decided to move off in the other direction. What if I'd really been hurt?? I don't look scary! Anyway after some deep breaths and rubbing I stood up expecting to be limping home but it was good! Although sore i was running again in a few seconds. And pain was gone by end of run! However my right foot and leg was sore today while and after run! Think I'll just have to accept something is niggling and just get on with it!
