Hello, Hello, Hello

PTW2 (Proper Training, Week 2 ) down!!!!

8 Jul 24 minutes Moderate/Easy Flat COMPLETE. Woke at 6 am at a -4 degree frost. It's fairly safe to say that I double tucked myself into the flannelet sheets and reset the alarm an hour later for work.  Ran at night instead
10 Jul 24 minutes Hilly Moderate/Easy COMPLETE. See above but -3 instead of -4.  Ran in the evening.
12 Jul 48 minutes Hills and Grass COMPLETE. Just got back from this and it was also easy.  First really wet run as it was raining steadily but not heavily.  No wind to speak of either.  Fired up for the weekend now.

This was a bit of a weird week for me as I knew I had to stick to the plan but I fund myself wanting to run further.  I know there will be times that I wish I didn't have to run so far.

What I will be doing for the long runs is choosing somewhere different to run each time.  I drove to the river this time and ran along the banks and next time  may go to Whangamata for the weekend and run around the beach.

2 weeks without a beer as well and I can't say that I enjoy being the sober driver, but come Saturday morning when I am dressing up in the ole running gear, I smile at how fresh I'm feeling and how I would struggle to attempt these runs with a hangover.

Lost 2.7 Kg's last week too.  I haven't been perfect with my food, but I haven't been really bad either.  No rubbish going into my Marathon Temple but I could maybe cut back the portions for a couple more weeks.  Will attend the Monday weigh in again and see how I've gone for this week gone.  If I haven't lost at least 1kg, I will completely revise the diet again.  I'm fairly sure would have lost 1000grams though.

This weeks training plan is as follows.

15th July 30 minutes easy/Flat with 4x1 minute moderate running
16th July 24 minutes Hill Run
17th Jul 24 minutes Hill Run
19th Jul 80 minutes Easy on grass with Hills.

A tougher work out on the Saturday, that is for sure, but I find myself looking forward to it by then in any case.

Well my dear readers, that's all for this week.

Have a great week and I will see you all next weekend

Ciao
