After a quick trip to the doctors to check i am not suffering from a infection and i wasnt, it was back to training again. Iv been feeling not that great for 4 weeks now and im sure i will be fine for my first ultra on the 9th april which is the Glasgow to Edinburgh along the forth and clyde and then the grand union canal. This race is now in its third year and this will be the third time iv ran it. Last year i did the D33 as my first ultra and decided not to do it this year as it involved a nights stay in aberdeen and i thought the expense would be better used in a ultra in england over a bigger distance like caesurs camp endurance run 100 miler.
Today i was looking forward to running in the sun with shorts and t-shirt. So once i got out at 1pm it was no sun but shorts on and long sleeved top with a t-shirt on. I was going to do a ten miler as iv seemed to do 10 miles nearly every day this week, but i had to do the school run at 3pm so decided with 43ish miles this week i would do a 6 miler and make my mileage to 50 miles in 5 days. Sound right if your a runner and daft if ur not. So my run was canal / kelvin walkway / garscube estate / dawsholme and along through westerton forrest to my house in knightswood, giving me 6.67 miles and 50.38 miles for the week.
Tomorrow im working all day on my day off, in the sculpta clinic in the morning and labelle forme in the afternoon so if im hoping to get a run in, it will be early morning which might not happen but well see.
