Lazy Huh?

Ok, so i've been told to update the blog. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to this aren't I?

I've got my Fetch page open to have a look at some training stats. It's been so long I can't remember what I've blogged about. So I'll just do the last week shall I? Ok......

From Sunday 8th Feb.

Emma, Cerys and I had a lovely Sunday morning run @ CWP & SWP it seemed effortless and we did almost 8.5 miles. Was really happy about that. Dave didn't come - probably because she's lazy lol.
Seriously though, Dave's been a bit lazy about the half marathon training (it's 5 weeks away!!) so after much moaning at her, we're back on track and doing just dandy thank you very much!!

We went out for a run on Monday round Whalley Range in Manchester, it was bloody freezing. Met Dave straight after work so that she didn't have an excuse not to come. It worked, and we had another nice run. It was 4.2 miles @ less than 12 minute miles. Happy with that for a recovery run. Was nice to catch up with some gossip and have a bitch about life in general.
See? running is good for your mental health too, you can get rid of all your moans and groans and have a good bitch into the bargain!!

Next run was Thursday, normally we'd all be out on a Wednesday with the club, but I was working. Boooooo!!! Dave came to mine and we went out through Reddish for a bimble. Wasn't as cold as Monday night (thank God) it was a good one too, was less than 4 miles, but I'll blame that on Dave, she's a wuss!! Then back to mine for a cuppa and some of my trademark pasta. Mmmmmm garlic breath lol.

Sunday was our last one, the 4 of us were out at CWP & SWP as usual, and we did a satisfying 9.3 miler. Well I did, Dave did 9.5 miles and I believe Cerys did 9. This was due to fannying around in circles to make our distances longer. It was a good run, felt like I could have done more, which is always a good thing. Next Sunday is 10 miles, so it's up out of bed even earlier!!
It's all worth it though huh?

Dave and I are a bit pissed off though, we found out today that the ballot for the Great North Run is closed. Closed? We didn't even know it was bloody open!!!! After we did the run last year, we both signed up for the reminder email service. Well guess what? They didn't send us the reminder. If they had, we'd be sat here biting our nails waiting to see if we'd got a place. As it is, Dave has sent one of her stroppy emails to Great Run and I've been searching online for charity places. If they'd sent us the reminder we'd have been chatting excitedly about it and comparing how quickly we'd said we'd do it etc etc, but we didn't get the mail, or a place in the GNR. Gutted. BUT.. by hook or by crook, we'll get to do it!!

So Wilmslow is in 5 weeks, we're geared up and ready (almost) and I'm actually looking forward to it. Can't speak for Dave though, she might blog when I tell her I have. You never know.
