Woke: 4:38 AM and went back to sleep...
Snooze: nil, full of beans this morning! I could hear the birds singing outside which is a first - must be springtime!
Up: 06:08 AM
Fuel: water
Out: 06:27 AM, I was pottering - should I make my bed now or when I get back?
Weather: mild, probably would've managed without my gloves. Sky was a dark light blue purple-y shade of pink...
Thoughts: - Wonder if the pavement on Croxted Road will sparkle today... it did!
- Gee, I could feel and smell the car fumes during the last leg. Dulwich Common was busy this morning - thought it'd be quiet with it being half term, then again it should't have had any bearing since it was a little before the school run
- I once read that Maggie Thatcher lives in a gated estate in Dulwich, I wonder if it's Hambledon Place?
- Yes! I knew why I'd brought my iPhone with me this morning...
Mornings!: Was feeling a bit shy today... I had 2 opportunities:
- the silverfox getting into his Merc on Croxted Road
- the senior runner in a bright florescent yellow mac crossing Dulwich Common at College Road
Distance: 3 miles
Route: Court Lane, Turney Lane, Croxted Road, Dulwich Common... I'll map it laterBack: 07:02 AM
Refuel: daddy portion of porridge and decaf earl grey
Alcoholic beverage treats: didn't fancy anything, green tea for me
Alcoholic beverages not consumed: saki - went for Japanese with Geoff this eveningWhat next: 6 miles with the club on Tuesday evening
Notes:
- Had to tell Sarah that I wasn't running with her this lunchtime, was feeling pretty stiff and a little tight from Saturday so probably not a good idea to do speedwork
- The salesman who sold me my car sponsored me today, am touched. I love my Mazda and if you want one just like mine, get in touch with Phil Hodgson at Peoples in Bootle - he's the man!
Woke: 05:18 AM
Snooze: nil - I'm getting good at avoiding this!
Up: 06:14 AM
Thoughts / Notes:
- not 1 but 2 foxes ran in front of my path crossing Court Lane this morning!
- it's the first time since I started running that I've seen a paperman (defnitely not a paperboy since he was bald) delivering papers
- my ears are cold because my hat is too small or maybe my head has just got bigger...
- ooh, it seems the streets are lined with silver this morning, another first - the pavement on Croxted Road was all sparkly!
- as I ran past Dulwich College I could hear high heels walking behind me, it was odd since she should have past me by now. After a little while longer, I looked up and realised it was actually a man's footsteps echoing from the other side of the road!
- I'm sure I saw a rabbit hop into the hedgerow of Dulwich Common
- Another photo opportunity... 'FREE POO TODAY' was being advertised at the Dulwich Riding School
Back: 06:50 AM
Refuel: 500ml Lucozade Sport
What next: long run with the running club on Saturday
I've started Twittering... hmmm... lets see how I long I can keep it up for...
OK this is my very first training blog (thanks for the nudge Rina!)... I will be backdating and uploading some pretty pictures from my training sessions from the past few weeks so please bear with me while I get organised! Hmmm... let's see how I go!
Woke: 5:43 AM
Snooze: once
Up: 6:17 AM
Out: 6:32 AM
Thoughts:
- The first bloke I ever passed since I started training has migrated to the opposite side of Court Lane?! Is he trying to avoid me?!
- Remember to bring my camera next time...
- My deltoids and hamstrings are still stiff from yoga on Wednesday with Andrea and Mary?!
- First time I've ran past someone on Frank Dixon Way
- Must be cold, no dogs barking at me from Dulwich Riding School today
Mornings!: 4- bloke on Court Lane who now runs on the opposite side...
- bloke running along Dulwich Village
- girl running on Frank Dixon Way
- lady who runs her dog and passes me on Dulwich Common
Back: 7:02 AM
Refuel: Bit of porridge and warm orange cordial
What next: a lie in and yoga on Saturday - yay! 8 miles on Sunday with Rob
Mileage to date: XXX
