#59 Thursday 28th July #59 done and it wasn’t easy but wasn’t as tough as I expected ! After a week rest in Aruba with only one 5k run over there that felt like a 10k in the humidity and heat even at 6am, and a total of 10 days break from long runs, I […]
#54 Monday 4th July #54 done, 46 left 🙂 Was supposed to run yesterday but had to work in the morning and I’m not a fan of running late in the day. This means I might have to run 3 this week ! Route was simple,I alternated a big loop and a small one of […]
#51 : Thursday 26th June #51 done late this morning, completed in 1:44′ , ten minutes slower than last sunday’s race. Was sunny and hot and after 7 miles it became hard work. Legs felt fine even though I picked a undulating course, wanted to treat this run as a training workout ahead of sunday’s […]
#50 Yeayyy halfway there! Was tough today, don’t know why, I just can’t put my finger on it, I should be used to Shrewsbury roads and hills and I had an extra day rest and no parkrun yesterday! Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it 😃 Was nice to see so many familiar faces waving […]
Wednesday 8th June: #47 was the hardest so far and my slowest solo run to date at 1: 48′ I took my beagles for a walk early in the morning and weather was cloudy and cool. By the time I started my run at 12pm (silly me, never again!) it was boiling hot and not […]
Sunday 29th May: Run #44 completed early in the morning in Wales. It was a good one for many reasons, good because of change of scenery and specially because it’s on the same bank holiday and in the same place that exactly 5 years ago I went for my first ever run! This is where […]
#41 : Sunday 22nd May #41 done and dusted, number of remaining runs is now in the fifties 🙂 Was fairly easy today, weather was warm when I started around 11.30am. I was raring to go, only ran a couple of km at parkrun yesterday, had to abandon the run to help a fellow runner […]
Sunday 15th May: #39 done 😃 Chester Half course is undulating and challenging but not gruelling, very balanced with a good number of climbs, a few long downhills and nasty hill on the last km just before the short flat straight to the finish line not far from the Clock in the city centre. I […]
No extra runs this week so Chester Half on Sunday 15th will be my 39th and not my 40th like I would have liked. I’m still one ahead of schedule and still have my two weeks break still in the bank 🙂 Saving them just in case I have an injury or will have a rest […]
Wednesday 27th April: #34 #34 done and I finally passed the one-third mark of my challenge 🙂 Today was tough, haven’t fully recovered from sunday’s run plus I had a bad back caused from lifting and moving heavy stuff, so very happy with finishing time of 1:42’01” Picked a 10,5 km course and ran two […]
