FRIDAY 20TH MAY

Well what a day, i set out to do my run at 12.30 and during the first 3 miles it was sunny, then hail stones, then pouring, then some heavy hail stones and then the sun was out !
Today i did the same run as last friday so along the canal to spiers wharf the through charing cross to kelvingrove park, then kelvin walkway garscube estate and home. When i was on the kelvin walkway to young students passed me, so i stuck in behind them and passed them about 2 miles later, its nice to be back to myself as before the fling race. The last 2 weeks of training have been hell, as i felt constantly tired falling asleep early every night, being grumpy and in general spiraling into a sort of deep depression. So now i feel 100 times better and still running, so what happened ! well after the fling the next week i trained too hard and basically over trained and my head went down. So back on track and aiming to get a few decent weeks training till the whw race and probably do a 36mile training run next week, which will be on the whw.
Total mileage. 12.6m
Well done to all the harriers who ran the helensburgh 10k, a total of 12 runners from the club ran.

SUNDAY 15TH MAY

Not sure if today will be anything other than another rest day. After my fling and the week afters training i have been suffering with calf cramp and a nigglie calf. My plan was to run the 10ks in the next few weeks but with only 5 weeks till the whw race im not sure whether to risk it. So plan is for next week to be high mileage and see how i feel.

SATURDAY 14TH MAY

Today i was working in labelle forme clinic and so a run looks as though its out the window so its a rest day today.
