Aye aye! …the eyes weren’t too bad on Thursday and no major headaches so I ventured out for a short training session to the local park with Jill and Jodi… Interval training began with a run up the hill to the goal posts but that was pretty hard going so we headed over to the vacant football pitch and started running fast on the long length and slow recoveries along the short length. On the 2nd lap I had a major twinge up the back of my right thigh so I stretched it out. Then I tried more reps but found I was pooped by the end of the long side so switched running fast to the short distance.
Winnie and Candy were loving the race but Winnie took a leaf out Zola Budds book of cheating and came at me from behind, cut across the back of my legs and side swept them from below me! In a ‘blind’ panic about not jarring my head or detaching my retina, my reflexes kicked in and my tangled legs somehow managed to get back under my flailing arms and body and I narrowly missed decking it (Mary Deckering it lol)!
Since I was in a rush to get to hospital to see my Dad after his hip replacement I only managed 35 mins training but that was good enough for me… Next up 18 miles jogging in prep for the marathon. (15 miles according to the training plan agreed with my marathon guru friend but a week on Sunday is the 110 mile sportive cycle and I’ll not manage that plus 18 miles next week).
