BRATHAY 2017
Wk 4
This wk I have run Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and Sun
Monday Ah yes Monday. I finished teaching swimming lessons, got out of the pool and got dry. Why oh why on earth did I get dry lol. It was chucking it down, not just raining but pouring.
Dressed in my running gear with my hoodie under my jacket, bag on back, drink in hand I jogged up the road to the striders session. When I got there it was me on my own, I stood out of the rain under the shelter, thinking i'm gonna have to run home anyway and then a couple more turned up. Off we went for the warm up. the wind and rain hitting us head on, then from the side then from behind there was no escape.
The session was 3 x 800 2min rec
1 lap rec
Repeat x3
I did 1 set then I went and stood under the shelter. Thanks for the lift home Cath. I didn't even go in front room to see Byron I went straight up for a shower and when I got down. He was sat there book in hand waiting for me lol. Best book ever The hairy toe 🤣🤣🤣He was soon in bed and I got to do all my stretches in peace.
Tues was sooo hard. I got up early and went for a run in the dark, cold and wet. My legs felt like lead from the moment I set off. I told myself all will be good once I get going. I was so wrong. Everything hurt it was horrible. Why oh why do I always feel sluggish and don't seem to get any better. I kept pushing on I had my route set and I wanted to complete it. It was quite windy and when I got on the coast rd I noticed the tide was in. This distracted me for a while because the tide is always out when I run down here. As I was running through the lanes on way back I came across a car randomly parked engine running, hazards on very weird not a sole in sight. I just kept going and eventually finished my run feeling a bit low.
I have so many good friends who are quick to cheer me up, give me motivation that I feel truly blessed and would like to thankyou all for your wonderful, continuing support.💖

Weds was a run free day with lots of stretching strengthening and rest.
Thurs morning I was in grange having physio on my ankle and legs aft sun, thanks David Jackson I felt a lot better when I left. I popped into my favourite, well everyones favourite cycle café for cake mmm I met some cyclists I knew and had a good natter and a laugh.
After work I went out with Panthers Advanced and I felt good, not that I could keep up but I ran harder and faster and my ankle felt great, in fact I didn't feel it at all. #happysonja# Lets hope things stay like this, note: mental state now improved !!!
Friday I went up to Askam to help with the beginners, what a fabulous night. I ran home when we were done, through the fisheries, it was really quiet and Eerie, the moon was full and every now and then I hear an animal rustle in the trees. My heart would skip a beat. I finally got to the end and headed across the level crossing and up the hill and home.
Sunday - long run day, or was it?? Sat night I got a message off a friend, I needed to cover her lessons and was happy to help. What am I gonna do now hmmm. Well up at 6, breakfast and out the door, it was freezing but I soon warmed up. Managed 11.5 mile, home, stretched, showered and out the door for lessons.
3 and half hrs later, hot shower and brew, I was already talking myself out of going out again in the cold as I had to go back to work for 5. Go home and chill :-).
