I’ve just completed a two week residential course in Durham and I’m back home. My training went well the first week even though I missed my long run at the weekend. I ran 17.38 miles over the week with two great new pals Paul and Gihan. I met some really great people while I was away and I hope that we keep in touch. It’s not that often that a bunch of complete strangers can come together like that and hit it off in such a positive way. I didn’t need to do any sit-ups with all the laughing I did.
The food there was good and mainly healthy. Unfortunately the booze and late nights counteracted the healthy eating. I was most surprised though that when I got on the scales at the end of the week that I didn’t put on any weight. The second week I Only managed to clock up 6.3 miles and still no long run and still didn’t lose or gain weight (or did I lose muscle and gain fat). This puts me behind on my training and on my Ten In Ten weight loss challenge. I need to get my mojo back starting with a club run on Monday. I will be mixing it up with running and cycling to and from work for the rest of the week which will give me twelve miles a day. On Friday I’ll be making my way to Wales with Stewart and Graham for a fifteen mile mountain run from Lake Vyrnwy to Bala which I’m looking forward to.
I’ll update this page after that run with photos and possibly some video.
Here’s the screen capture from Endomondo where I’ve been using my telephone to track my routes. I ran this one with Paul and Gihan.
