Woke up feeling a lot better today but then walked up to a lecture and chest was completely clogged - a lot of coughing later and breathing is possible again
Body doesnt seem to cope well with the transition between lying down and standing up

Struggled to eat anything overnight so failed to eat enough, also when lay down I couldn't breathe so spent the night clock watching and got about an hrs sleep.
Hard decision this morning but running wasn't really going to happen - would have been a 7hr walk if we set off and so glad we didn't now as cold has got worse and worse! I now sound like Zanthe did last monday when I banned her from circuits...

Running race 5:17:29 [3] 26.0 km (12:13 / km) +750m 10:40 / km
Well - friday went well - throat fine, looking good for the weekend...then in the evening I had some asthma troubles and by Saturday morning it was a full on cold!
So we set off and tried not to overly push it - 1st 4 controls went reasonably then it all fell apart - pretty much walked the rest - felt worse and worse but was determined to finish - 5:17:29 was a fairly dissapointing time, by number 4 we were looking at 4:20/4:30ish but 4-5 and 5-6 were horrifically slow - lost at least 20mins 5-6...then it was just a crawl to the finish!

Being a total hypocrite in running the OMM as I said I wouldn't run it ill again ever - but things change :-P
Throat got progressively worse yesterday but is getting progressively better today :-) feels like i constantly need to clear it though...
Going to see how much its going to hurt later by running down to inervals with my pack - if I can't make it there and back I suppose I shouldn't go.. need to test out the bag as I don't know how much my inov8 one is going to rub or where it's going to rub! tape at the ready to stick me back together!
NB by the time I ran throat was fine :-)

Run down to intervals out along to bingham, back up riverdale road and then back along fulwood with a brief stop at spar to find an alternative bit of string to attach to my zip of my bag that ive managed to snap already...
Carried OMM bag full of kit to see where it would rub and where to tape!
This weekend is going to be a struggle

Deja Vu....Throat got worse and worse yesterday - woke up at 4am because I couldn't swallow - good hour and a half before I got back to sleep.
feels slightly better today but not gonna train before the weekend now - lots of sitting still and hopefully OMM will be fine, will be very annoyed if I can't run well! Seems to be the annual OMM illness now

Woke up with a really sore throat - I'm putting it down to karaoke and hoping its not going to be a rerun of the pre - OMM wk of last year, otherwise Harold will need a replacement partner!
Can't decide whether to do hills or not...

Running race 1:40:45 [3] 12.2 km (8:15 / km)
Nav leg of FRA relays
Felt really tired after a 4am wake up call from Jon and didn't really want to run - however the minute I started running I felt really really good! Not felt this strong in ages, felt like I was cruising and had a good speed in my legs even for the runnable track where we overtook our final team of the day into the finish, sadly Helen was suffering a bit with flu today which meant I had to remember not to run too hard or I'd lose her. It was good fun run though and I am really looking forward to the OMM now :-)

Night fell run! Remembered my torch this time! Forgot my fell shoes....aisics road shoes are not very grippy on soaked kinder ground...
Ran from Hayfield round kinder res and then back via the farms under low end - took it easy but pushed hard up a couple of hills which was made difficult by the footwear! I have missed night time adventures on kinder!

Guy who ran past while we were walking up broomgrove road didnt sound too impressed as I ran past and I could hear him putting in effort to try and pass me up by hallamshire, made me grin a bit...

Running race 48:20 [3] 4.5 mi (10:44 / mi) +442m 8:14 / mi
Ian Hodgsons - 3rd leg - set off and didn't feel too bad, until some effort was required towards the top of the massive climb, then felt horrifically sick. Deffinately not 100% today...thankfully less effort was require along past angle tarn and down the hill, but I suffered a lot running into patterdale where Alison took the lead as I thought I might have to stop!
Still pulled off a reasonable run, 1minute faster than when I last did that leg!
So glad I wasnt running with Mary or Nicole who were flying today, they would have run me into the ground.
Great result for pennine with us coming 2nd mixed team! :-)
