We know what summer feels like again its lovely to see and feel wall to wall sunshine always makes you feel better, even if we do nothing but complain. As a race we are never really satisfied with our lot in life, its never quite just right. However it has got to be said that the lovely weather has made training difficult. I run at 8.30 in the morning, this is due to a couple of factors, school run, breakfast, me not getting my carcass into gear earlier. By this time the temperature is comfortable for running, however by the time I finish an hour later its almost unbearable to run in. I cannot run during the evening due to work commitments and usually aching feet. So with the school holidays I am hoping to get myself out the door early and be back home by the time I have usually gone out.
The training has gone really well and I am very happy with my distance vs time. These are equalling out and I can and do maintain every km split somewhere around a 6.50/7 min km, which for distance I am very happy with.
This weekend past the Leeds 10km was held it was a truly giant event 10, 000 runners took part in very hot conditions many achieving PB's. I have decided my future plans are GNR September, Abbey Dash November, Leeds half marathon in May 2014 then hopefully if my fitness and willingness to continue hold out York Marathon in October 2014. This will be the pinnacle for me and may sign me off from such big distances, but we shall see what the future holds after this plan.
My fundraising is going so well I cannot believe that so far a whopping £391 has been very kindly donated to Sue Ryder Wheatfields. The newspaper article from the Yorkshire Evening Post is now on display on the wall in work, and I get lots more toots and waves and I do wave back. Thank you to every single person that has sponsored me and wished me luck.
