As planned headed down to the Marina for my run tonight. Left the house at 745pm which was a little later than planned and certainly won't be going that late again. By about 820pm it started to get dark and there were quite a lot of people out and about.
As a result changed my route which meant I was running on the main road by Singleton! I didn't mind so much as my music was blasting! Every time I go out running I'm amazing myself... This time ran for over an hour with only 4 minutes walking... That really is an achievement for me! Hope I'm not to achy in the morning!
Here are today's results: Distance: 5.08mi Time: 01:04:22 Pace: 12:40min/mi Speed: 4.74mi/h
So the next part of my plan.... Going to go to the gym tomorrow (and also buy another pair of running leggings), rest day on Friday followed by a morning run on Saturday (hair done in the afternoon) and another run on Sunday too! I'm totally on the fun bus! Ding ding!

Determined...
Just a little post... Zumba this evening and determined to get a run in tomorrow. Looks like it will be tomorrow evening... Will need to make sure I plan my meals so that I'm eating early... Need plenty of time for my food to go down!
Will need to do the 6 mile run to get into building my stamina so will need to start my run around 730pm as will be done by 9pm and hopefully it won't be getting too dark!

JustGiving...
My plan to go for a run this evening didn't quite go to plan... But on a positive note I set up my JustGiving page and had a bit of fun setting up the JustTextGiving and QR CODES!
Hopefully this will make it easier for people to donate.
ZUMBA tomorrow evening, and DEF going for a run on Wednesday, gym Thursday... Still not sure about running plan for the weekend, but will need to run on 2 out of the 3 days over the weekend!

Yet again, back into it...
I've done man posts like this where I have said that I'm back on it but this time I really am back on it... I have to be.... As there is something like 7 weeks left till the half marathon.
The main reason or at least the main excuse has been because I fell down the stairs a few weeks ago and my anke hasn't been right since. And even though it can be a little tender tontouch I bit the bullet and just did it!
Yesterday went to the Life gym and did a pretty normal workout including a jog on the treadmil... Admittedly it wasn't easy... Might have bee cause I just don't like the gym, but I'm only there for 6 weeks!
Decided to go for a jog with the view of 'taking it easy' and completely surprised myself! Here is my results (used the map my run application on my phone which is amazing!)
Distance: 6.31mi
Time: 01:18:46
Pace: 12:29min/mi
Speed: 4.81mi/h
Half way through I saw the rest of the James Whale team which spurred me on. I hAve 'markers' on my run, which are points that I ran to along the Swansea bay front... I've probably got about 5 and actualy went to the 3rd which is fab... But what is even better for me is that the periods that I ran for were around 15 mins at a time... Again, a nit stunned about this!
So, plan of action is to do another jog tomorrow evening, Zumba on Tuesday ... Not really planned after that but will get a session in the gym and at least one jog in before Saturday!
AWESOME!
