The last few weeks haven't quite gone to plan. I wasn't expecting to get a nasty cold and cough that would throw me right off schedule. I've been trying really hard for the last week or so to get back into a training routine. Each run got a bit better with a bit less coughing. Now and again I would have to stop completely and just cough, cough, cough. I haven't been able to do any really long runs but have managed a few 5 miles.
Mothers Day was spent in Greenwich Park. I went for a lovely run in the sunshine and warmth while Peter took the kids off to explore. I was planning to do about 10 miles round the park and Blackheath but once again the cough got the better of me and I only did about 5 miles. 5 miles is still better than nothing and I'm still as determined as ever to keep going and not give in.
Tomorrow I hope to do 7 miles, 6 on Thursday and then Friday we're all going to Hastings for the weekend so I can run the Hastings Half Marathon on Sunday (my birthday). The course is supposed to be quite tough - the first 6 miles are all up hill - some steeper than others. Then the rest is downhill to the seafront with the final 3 miles along the sea. If the weather stays warm it should be a nice weekend.
Just under 6 weeks to go !!!!!!!!
