Have sort of been taking it easy this week, lightly
following Massage Mans instructions (well apart from
racing on Sunday and intervals on Thursday!!)
Club run on Tuesday night was short but sweet as there
was a committee meeting afterwards. Ran from Halhill
along Kellie Road and through the houses to the Spott
Roundabout and ran up the Spott Road taking a right
turn up to Wester Broomhouse, down under the A1 to
Eweford and then back to Halhill.
On Thursday the plan was going to be to run a nice 6
mile gentle flat run, but Brian couldnt be bothered
going out and Sheila Kerr was otherwise disposed.
Sheila Morrisons busy trekking in Nepal so I thought
I may as well head along to interval training. Did 2x
400m as a warm up and then got sent round for another
400m with some dynamic stretching. We then did a
couple of short bounding type runs (think that might
have been plyometrics???) and then started on the real
session. Anne was taking us tonight as Ian R was on
holiday, not sure who is worse though!!! The session
was 20x200m in 1min15 secs, though Anne did take pity
after about the third one and put it up to 1min30secs.
I did 16 in total, which I think was a bit of an
achievement. Strategically placed rest sessions
helped greatly.
Friday night was a check up with massage man,
following all the work I had done last week. Luckily
the lower back was all perfectly aligned, just a few
joints out at the top (again). I did confess to
continuing to run. I have now been let off attending
for a further session for 5 weeks and good timing
this falls the Monday after a Sunday race. (Hopetoun
House Cancer Research 10k)
Its now Saturday and I have just come home from the
Lammermuir Circuit race/run. A number of the club
runners did a 20 mile route, with an option of a half
and 10k also. I stuck to the 10k. Amanda drove us up
into the hills, approximately 10k from Halhill and we
all ran back for showers, soup and sandwiches. It was
nice runny weather cool with some light drizzle and
all those doing the 10k enjoyed the scenery. I think
we polished off a round of sandwiches for 20 between
the 9 of us taking part
..usual runners appetites
then!
Tomorrow I think I will go out for that nice gentle
flat one, somewhere between 6-8 miles. Depends on how
well the wine flows tonight though
