This wk started well aft a great motivational wkend at Brathay with the support team and 15 10 in 10 team mates only 1 more to meet. They are all really great people and I really enjoyed the wkend.
This week I ran mon, Tues, Thurs and today
Monday I felt sluggish but OK think it's because I teach swimming lessons all day in the heat of the pool environment finished of with 1 1/2 hrs in the water b4 I run home but I managed a sluggish 4 mile run followed by Adams stretches and foam rolling helped by my grandson
FOAM ROLLING WITH BYRON
During lunch I did my balancing stuff, and strengthening exercises
Tues I felt OK and ran a comfy run of just under 4 miles followed by Adams stretching followed in the evening by some strengthening & balancing & a spin class. The run this morning was quite Eerie and foggy and really quiet.
Furness abbey
Wed I just did strengthening and balancing
Thurs I had a un rnd beach bout 5-6 mile with draco my choc lab followed by stretching, strengthening and balancing stuff. Aft work I ran with panthers beginners and finished off with stretching. Today was the first day I ran pain free even tho the sand was really soft and it was tough going I enjoyed the run and it felt hard.
Fri I went straight to bed aft work feeling terrible with a sore throat and head cold
Sat cake sale day, I still felt like rubbish, but went to work to do the lessons then helped Jenny do the cakes a d coffee's., no run today either but will get out 2morrow.
Sunday I ran my longest and hardest run since November, and it wasn't pretty, the ankle seems to be healing well but this flaming cold needs to do 1. At first I struggled to breath and then I coughed my guts up and this seemed to clear the airways for a while. This was a continual cycle through the run. Then I just happened to meet a nice little hill I 4got was there.Then running along coast rd I saw some friends who beeped and waved, nice little boost further down the rd I must of kicked some stones up so had to stop and empty shoe lol (any excuse) it was red hot mayb I shouldn't of put this Base Layer on, y did I? I never wear 1 oh well. Soon to take away the the heat from the body was the burning sensation in my feet aaargh, think I'm being tested today. This went on for bout 2mile getting worse so I walked for a short while, then ran again it gradually came back but I kept going then at just about 12 mile my phone rang I dug it out of my pocket and answered it it was Jenny my bestie, must have known I was suffering, I stopped to talk about all the wonderful people who have helped me this weekend raising money for Brathay's focus on furness appeal helping vulnerable youngsters right on our doorstep with Jenny and Natalie by my
side it was fantastic. This conversation gave me the strength ʋ to carry on and finish my run. Thankyou to everyone who made cakes and cookies and to all the people that bought coffee's etc and cakes u have bn amazing over the weekend we raised £200 big thanks to everyone..
