Monday I had to help shifting some furniture at the mother-in-laws, so wifey drove there and I ran home. Good plan - fastest session since I returned to running ;-)
Fast but not to the finish. I didn't manage one complete session without some walking this week. did at least 2/3 of the run but perhaps I'm slightly upping the speed and the distance is suffering.
Tried to keep it slow and steady on the first attempt at 4miles and was doing OK until I had to stop for traffic and then found it hard to keep going again. Also getting to the distance where some fluid on the run may help too. Need to find a comfortable way of carrying some.
On the map I'm at West Winch - an appropriate place for a sailor

Wereham out
On the map I've reach Wereham, an appropriate place to finish the week after reaching the first target of running 3miles - and a 'hilly' run at that. After that success I went for a flatter 3.6 miles on Saturday.
I'm going to next week on a bit of a high, with the ambition of staggering around a 4mile course and picking up the pace on the shorter runs. Long runs are too slow at the minute and it's time to start working on that if I'm to do the Kirton 5 in under and hour

Music while you run - it helped
Actually completed a 2.8mile run with out stopping, Ave pace 11:57 so not quick. Reversed on a route so there was no 'I'm usually knackered by here' type thoughts. The other big change was listening to a 30min track from MP3running while out on the run I found it helped.
A good gym session followed by a long run the next day was not a good combination so failed to run all the next one. Today was an 'interval session", down to the prom and 5 fasted paced sessions. Still not fit enough to recover and run but kept the walks much shorter than previous walk run session ends.
Not a bad week but could be better - but the music works

Almost at the 50 mile mark
Didn't do the planned run on Wednesday, as I went to see the quack about my chest. She gave me an inhaler to use before exercising which seems to help, so did the curry I think ;-)
Did go to the gym yesterday and had a good run today - furthest I run continuously so far (23.5 mins) and after waiting for the traffic managed another 10mins running (+ another couple of stops)
On the map I'm now at Two Mile Bottom (yeah I know I still have some weight to lose) and have completed 49.6 miles so far. Hopefully things will start to get back on track so I can comfortably do my first comeback race on the 7th June.
