Saturday night at the movies...

I wasn't actually at the movies, I was referring to the Drifters song, who incidentally were performing at work tonight and they were bloody good. Ive had a busy old day, running, housework, cooking and working and not necessarily in that order. I slept a bit later this morning and felt better for it. I took Oliver to my mums for a few hours then went out for a 10 mile run. Its a big weekend and week for me. I hoping to peak this week with somewhere around 80 - 90 miles by the time Im done. then its only a couple of weeks to taper for my race. I was working tonight so after I made lunch and dinner I jumped in a quick bath then it was off to work. Im tired tonight so Im hoping to sleep soundly as its a 4:30am alarm for the morning!! 30 miles beckons!

Running 10.23 mi   9.00/mi  1:32 hours

I set off this morning not really wanting to go out, but by the time I got to the end of the street I was feeling ok. I did a 10mile loop of walney at a nice easy pace of 9 min miles average. I think I might have picked up a tummy bug as Ive been to the toilet loads in the last two days. I had to stop again today and I was lucky West shore toilets were open! Its probably come from Oliver starting school again and all the germs 8 year olds carry!! Anyway, I finished the pretty uneventful run and stretched out.
