Hello! Hello! Hello!!!

Why is everyone looking so down today???  AB's/Schmaybees!!!!  Who cares when you get a WOW! from a lady you haven't seen in a while!!!  That made my night last night. The results are really starting to show physically and mentally as I am absolutely amping to go for every run.  I'm just so stoked I booked the marathon. One thing that blows me away in all this is that I will be running half marathons as training runs!!! Booking the Whangamata 1/2 on the 13th of September thanks to Bart's heads-up.

A fairly good week food and exercise wise but I missed my first run from my training programme due to time management and a friggen frangin cold!!

So a week in summary:

22 Jul 36mins inc 2 sets of 3min Moderate and 2 minutes easy COMPLETE Went down to the river again and ran in the rain.  Slight strain down the side of my calf that was hard to shake but got through OK

23 Jul 22mins Hilly easy COMPLETE Round the block and up and down hills.  Easy Peasy

24 Jul 36mins Hilly easy INCOMPLETE!!!!  Arrrrrggggghhhhh I owe a mate a sushi lunch as I said I wouldn't miss one run unless injured.  I was supposed to run in the evening but didn't realise the Waikato match was starting at six and I needed to pick up a mate for the game and the next day I had a cold and thought it would be better not to run.  Gutted at myself

26 Jul 90mins Hilly easy on grass. COMPLETE This run was a whole lot of fun!!!  It was up around the logging tracks in the hills behind Whangamata.  Some quite steep gnarly bits but manageable.  Ran with Bartman who tells me that this was his longest activity he had done on his feet and he looked remarkably fresh after.  1 hour 50 minutes running which is 20 minutes longer than required but the beginning of the track is a very very steep uphill that we needed to walk up before we started.  Need more runs like this as they are so much more interesting than running on the beach etc.  Feeling good today tough, no stiff muscles

This week:

29 Jul 48mins Easy flat
30 Jul 48mins Hills
31 Jul 48mins Hills
01 Aug 100mins Hills

Really starting to get some good runs in this coming week. Over 4 hours running which is fairly sharp I reckon.  I think that's about all for this week. 

Now ladies, I know I gave my 0800 number out willy-nilly last week, but could you please keep the messages clean.  I like to think I keep a clean and pure mind!!    Oh OK, keep 'em coming..................

Okey dokey that's all for this week.  Chin up re the AB's, NPC starts this week so forget about the All Blacks for a bit and get out and support your local team at your local rugby park.  Much more satisfaction to see boys close to home win.  Come on Waikato!!!

Cheers
Hooroo xx
