With more hills to come. Tried my first long run with a bum bag containing a energy gel and jelly babies over the forest last week . Thankfully Frank accompanied me for the first 6 but then I had 2 hours on my own . It wasn't too bad and I followed Frank's directions to havering park via lots of hills (thanks frank!) and smelly stables but it beat doing circuits in the forest . I also visited havering-atte -bower on the way to havering park . I get around you know. All in all a first time running for 3 hours ,albeit slower than usual to register 18 miles . I might try 3 and a half hours next week but first is the tough half marathon at roding valley .Will be good to run it with around 30 or so friends from ELR but it cannot be described as pleasant and it is hilly so fast times are at a premium . Last night at ELR we had , yes you guessed it , hill training ! thanks very much to Doug for the idea ,made a change anyway . Before sunday I am running in the 5k at hyde park ,hopefully I might get close to my event pb or even a pb for the distance .We shall see . I have to think of the bigger picture ,i.e the marathon .
Did you see the o's drew with arsenal , what a team eh! I am going to miss running club for the first time in months next wednesday as I am off to the emirates . I will try another long run during the day , although I will have work to do .
Will try and blog again next week so check back to see how I go in the 5k and in the half marathon.
