After the session on Thursday, I had a pain in my ankle which I thought was just because I had been bitten as I had a red lump!

It was really sore yesterday evening especially going up and down stairs and as soon as I warmed up this morning, It felt really painful and as soon as I started doing strides it just got worse :( I really didn't want to make it even worse so I decided to come home and not do the session.

I asked Alex to have a prod and poke it he said that it isn't do with the bite but from when I slightly rolled over on it on the session. He said I haven't done anything serious and he said to not do a session today but it should be fine to do an easy run tomorrow!

I was really looking forward to doing it this morning, but I had a bit of a panic with it and I think it was probably the most sensible decision to just give it a miss today.. :s

Rest Day!

Grass rep session: 5 x Efforts

(4.35, 4.33, 4.30, 4.29, 4.34)

I really enjoyed this session :D

Penguin Shuffle after the race yesterday! Legs felt horribly tired and stiff! :(

Shake out Run before the race

1500m Race at Stretford:

Official Time - 4.36 (Seasons Worst..!)

Really disappointed with this race but I have leant a number of lessons -

1. I need to make sure I am having adequate sleep! I felt exhausted in the days leading up to the race and on the day of too.

2. I didn't ease down properly and shouldn't have run so hard the day before, especially going up hills.

3. I need to make sure I am adequately fuelled to run the race - I ate lunch at 1 and had a cereal bar and a banana at 5 but I didn't end up racing until 9 and I felt hungry as I started.

4. Being on my feet all day inevitably had an affect and I need to learn to just rest on the day of the race!

Although I am upset with my time, it was very much a learning experience for me :)

This was meant to be a easy run but I ran with Ben who decided to sprint up New Zealand Road..! I felt really strong running but exhausted as soon as I finished and then all day at work :(

(7.23, 7.28, 7.35, 6.28, 6.17, 6.23, 6.04)

Morning Run in the sunshine! Lovely run although I managed to get slightly lost but somehow ended up in Offerton again!

6 Mile Progressive Run:

(6.51, 6.38, 6.22, 6.04, 5.51) + 6.37

Really good run and managed to dodge the rain! It felt relatively easy but legs were flagging a bit by the last mile!
