A quick one today as I’m quite tired after today’s exertions …
Tuesday – A nice run to meet my friend Jenny at her yoga session, then ran to her house and back to mine. Perfect pre-Race to the Stones run to keep the legs turning over.
1.5 miles, 11:22 mins per mile / 2.1 miles, 11:51 mins per mile
Wednesday – Dave yoga – quite chilled and nothing odd so managed the whole class!
Thursday – Eschewed a run as I had to walk round to a friend’s house to check she’d left her window shut before going on holiday (she had). I took the long way home and bought some garden chairs in a local shop, then carried them home and had to have help from a nice local chap to get them up the side entry into the garden!
Friday – Claire yoga – I took it gently but she included my favourite standing up slowly from a deep squat! A lovely prep for the big run. Unfortunately still had bicep/tricep/rib DOMS from the chairs.
Sunday – Race to the Stones 2nd Day 50 k / 30 miles done. Race report to follow. It was hard but no harder than I thought and I did not hit the wall or feel unwell afterwards, which I am so proud of!
33.2 miles / 15:55 mins per mile
Weekly total 34.9 miles. Total this year 598.1 (I need 583.3 to be on my 1,000 miles in a year total)
The Weekly Run Down is run by two wonderful running women and joined by lots of other inspirational women. Kim’s weekly wrap is here and Deborah’s is here.

WHEE! SO proud of you. And Ilove those chairs. I know I’ve said both of those in at least two if not three places over the week, so this is really a pointless comment. LOL. Can’t wait to read your recap

Ha – we finished the race and came straight home, then I showered and ate and had to sit up a bit before I could LIE DOWN AND SLEEP. So I did this very quickly!
