| Beeley woods. Pretty poor. Missed 17 as am silly. still, good to get a map in my hands again :D Was fairly enjoyable. Running felt pretty good.
as I mucked up on number1, and as am slow, got caught by Lucy, Rob and Rhys Stayed with Lucy fr a while, so decided I'd be proper like and run on my own. That's why I took long time - I decided to take a slightly longer route on one of the legs. | ||

| Legs felt fine this morning after yesterdays excerts. Thought I'd go and see what Rivelin is like. Potled around a bit of wood getting there, pootled around a bit of wood (and Walkly cemetry!) on the way back up the hill. Didn't spend much time in Rivelin. Seemed a bit boring really.
Came back through Bolehill park (had a bit of a sit) and Crookes. Once again, no stop watch, so guestimated a rough time. http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/sheffie... | ||

| Tried to microwave my underwear to make tem dry.
It didn't work. | ||

| Yes, I know it's odd, but I actually GOT OUT and RAN! Left it until 4.30 so it wasn't too hot, but after a loverly day out in the city centre, it had cooled down by the time I got home. It would be rude not to go out!
Out to Fulwood via the pile of rubble that is now Ranmoor Hall, and back through the parks. Didn't stop much - walked when I did - apart from when I bumped into Robin from Ceilidh in Bingham Park, so stopped and walked with him for about 5 mins... My watch is at Lucy's, so I had to guess my time acording to the time I left and arrived back at home. Felt OK. need to run more often though. Obviously... | ||
| Streching warm up/down 7:00 [2] | |
| Note | |
| Oh - I saw Steve 'Interesting' Davis down at the crucible. In fact, I was about a metre from him! OK, there was glass in that metre, but does that count towards points for seeing people? I think it does! | ||

| Ran to end of Bingham, along Riverdale then the park. Had a nap after lectures. Decided to run out bit a bit harder than usual, just to see how I'm feeling, only I could feel Jaffa cakes jumping about inside of me... | ||
| Running 12:11 [2] 1.44 mi (8:26 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics somethings | ||
| Gentle pootle back through Bingham and Endcliffe. Base of shins started to ache a bit, but not in a shin-splinty way...
man I feel tired. Still got 3 hours of singing to get through and all. I dunno if I'll be able to concentrate for all that time. And having to sing tenor and all. Gah! why are there no Tenors in Sheffield except a guy who gets it wrong a fair bit and me, who is, by rights, a bass-baritone who has to sing too high. OK, rant over. | ||

| slept:8.0 (rest day) shoes: Asics somethings | ||
| so, I managed the whole 24-hours-awake from 4am-4am after very little cajoling resulted in me ending up in Plug.
Thought I'd wear my new shoes to tesco, so ran a bit. Not real training, I just want to break their attackpoint virginity ;) They are so white! I've not had a pair of white trainers in time! | ||
| C • Are they... 4 | ||
Saturday Apr 12 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:4.0 | ||
| legs have felt dead all week, so havn't bothered running, as I also have had very little time to do so.
However, getting payed £100 for doing a bit of work today, so spending the rest of the time swatting up on some molecular biology of the gene, as I'm well cool. | ||
| Walking long (Surveying in Broomhall) 9:00:00 [1] 24.63 mi (21:54 / mi) | |
| slept:5.0 | ||
| OK, OK, it's not really training, but 14/15/16 hours solid walking around with a few little breaks.
Basically, had to tread the tarmac and fill in sheets. Only got 4 hours of sleep, as my brain is once again fucking me over when it comes to going to sleep. Got a new pair of road shoes from Decathlon also. Anyway, I'm knacked, so am going to sleep for a bit. Well, I say that... Doing the same on wednesday I think... | ||
Thursday Apr 10 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:5.75 | ||
| Yup, corp last night :p
erm, legs feel like their gonna drop off. Evidently all that skiing didn't strengthen my thighs, as my right one feels a bit jelly-y... I'll try and get out for a short, gentle, relaxed trot later. | ||
| C • and you still got 6hours sl... 3 | ||
Tuesday Apr 8 | ||
| Running 58:00 [4] 7.32 mi (7:54 / mi) +172m 4:35 / km | |
| slept:7.5 shoes: Decathlon Kalenji Kapteren XT | ||
| After the exam earlier (which went pretty well), and getting bored waiting for a phonecall regarding me earning money tomorrow (didn't come) I decided to go for a run, seeing as I missed circuits yesterday due to 3 hours of Vivaldi and Mozart...
Set off from Endcliffe Cresc, behind Tapton, to Crosspool. Then along Sandygate road. Redmires Road along the golf course, where I tied a 7.30min mile for the 3rd mile. At the end of the Golf Course, left down Blackbrook Road, then onto Harrison Road. Turned left early onto David Lane, but continued along Mayfield Road, before turning onto Woodcliffe to get to the Parks. Back through the parks from the last road before the peaks, where I passed 2 ShUOCers in Sarah and Blanka. Thought I passed Nails on his bike, but doubt it... Felt OK. Had a few rests, but only out of the house for about 75 overall. Deviated slightly from the route I was going to do due to memory, but this one was good. Felt good in shorts and a base layer. Nice to be out on a spring evening! Route is ici: http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/sheffie... | ||
| Streching warm up/down 7:00 [2] | |
| Need to get some road shoes. Ran in me Kapterns, have only been used once since the JK. They were full of Southern dust! | ||
Monday Apr 7 | ||
| Streching warm up/down 7:00 [1] | |
| slept:8.5 | ||
| Thus begins a few hectic weeks... | ||
| Note | |
| Also: Shower doesn't work as Nathan's hot tap is stuck on open all the time as this house is old. As it'll take the edge about 3 months to sort it out, exercise may be a bad idea. May have to go and scrounge one off the girls down stairs. They have 2 showers! (then again 11 people...)
Other than that, it's hobo-stand-up-at-sink-with-flannel. Flannel? what's one of those! | ||
Sunday Apr 6 | ||
| Note | |
| Just got back, to find it... SNOWING! haha.
Back to Sheffield later in the day, where the next 2 weeks are taken up with essay writing, learning and singing Vivaldi's Gloria and a few other things, and going to gigs/our house party, so will probs be absent from circuits the next 2 weeks, and absent-minded the rest of the time. | ||
