Training Week 5
It's starting to get real now! Since the kids are out of school for half term this week, I had to do my long run on Sunday. And I got a cool new watch for Valentine's Day, so I am able to use that now. However, I didn't discover that the watch was set to km rather than miles until I had run a little over a mile, so I figured out that 12 miles was 19.3 km and had to go with that. I will say that it was nice to just run and not be focused on distance or pace.
Date: Sunday, February 12, 2017
Distance: 19.52 km
Time: 1;49:09
Pace: 5:43 min/km

Overcast, but not too cold.

Training Week 4
Feeling good this week after some good stretching on Sunday.
I had to postpone my long run by one day because Lauren was home sick from school on Monday, and is home again today, but thankfully Brad was able to stay home and get the other two ready and off to school for me.
Date: Tuesday, 7 February 2017
Distance: 10.23 miles
Time: 1:30:09
Pace: 8:48 min/mile
Route: to Putney via Wimbledon Common and through Wandsworth.
I think running at 7 AM is perfect, so it's too bad that's not possible most days. But I am proud of myself for making it to Putney without getting lost or having to use my GPS.
Date: Thursday, 9 February (6 months until the big 4-0)
Distance: 7.65 miles
Time: 1:06:06
Pace: 8:32 min/mile
Route: To Cannizaro Park and back
Thankfully Lauren was back at school today so I could get my run in. It was a cold one, and Cannizzaro Park is better for shorter runs, it's not that big!
Date: Friday, 10 February 2017
Distance: 5 miles
Time: 43:01
Pace: 8:32 min/mile
Route: To Southfields and back through the village
Cold and a bit misty, but always good to run first thing in the morning!
Total miles this week: 22.88
I had to do it in three runs this week due to Lauren's illness!

Training Week Three
So, I roasted my first ever whole chicken last night. It was actually pretty good. The veggies didn't get soft enough while cooking with the chicken, however, so I had to roast those separately for a bit longer. My least favourite part was picking the meat off the chicken to save. I decided I am going to make my own broth with the bones, so I have a bag of chicken bones in the freezer! It was hard to tell what was meat and what wasn't.
Date: Monday, 30 January 2017
Distance: 6.23 miles
Time: 53:42
Pace: 8:36 min/mile
Route: Morden Hall Park, which was a nice change of pace because the bulk of the run was on a trail.
It was overcast and a bit muddy but a bit warmer and not raining.
Date: Wednesday, 1 February 2017
Distance: 5 miles (Intended to go 3 miles, but it was early in the morning and Wimbledon Park was closed. i didn't realise how big it is!)
Time: 43;49
Pace: 8:45 min/mile
Route: Towards wimbledon park, past Southfields tube station
I forgot how much I love running early in the morning before everyone else's day starts. It wasn't too bad in the dark because it wasn't super cold.
Date: Friday, 3 February 2017
Distance: 3 miles
Time: 25:14
Pace: 8:20 min/mile
Good run in the early morning! I ran for the first time on a new pair of shoes, as it is recommended to have two different pair of shoes while training. New Balance this time, to alternate with my Saucony.
Date: Saturday, 4 February 2017
Distance: 3.44 miles
Time: 29:15
Pace: 8:29 min/mile
Route: Up Wimbledon Hill, past Wimbledon Park via Arthur Road
Good run, although I had a slight niggle in my hamstring, but it stopped hurting once I started running. I think that means I did a good job stretching!
Total Miles: 14.67
