This week has been fairly disastrous
by all accounts. After a good run at the Willen 6 on Saturday I skipped my
normal Sunday run and headed to the gym instead followed by the club run on
Monday night. So far so good, pace felt faster than it really was but nothing
to write home (or blog) about!
Needing to fit in a longer run I
decided to try the Tuesday morning club run. With the exception of the company
it was awful from start to finish. I definitely went out to fast and paid for
it later. Still, 8 miles under my belt and lesson learnt (hopefully).
The rest of the week followed a
general pattern of grumpiness, overtired children and mediocre workouts. On the
bright side (wait for the pun) ..... I brought myself a head torch, now you
will be able to see me coming and promptly run, walk, shuffle or drive in the
opposite direction. As I am sure you will agree it looks much better modelled on
Mr Grumpy than me but will soon be coming to a forehead near you.
Trying to lift my spirits I
brought myself the latest Runners World to enjoy with a cuppa and a piece of
cake (oh the irony). Therein was an article about motivation and mantra's for
running with several examples one of which I have modified to use on Sunday for
our 10k graduation run at Caldecotte.
Fit Fast Strong
It will either work and get me
the sub 50 I really want or it won't and a suitably fitting alternative will be
chanted on the drive home (I will leave you to figure it out!)
