44 years...continued...

Been out for little run this morning...a very pleasant place this:)

 Oh...and found this of me, back garden at Beechcroft Road, 44 years ago:))

Going to call this thread #get fit for me bus pass :))

#getfitformebuspass update!!

So,into week 2 of me new 'regime'... (Target Coll 10km)

So, week 1runs :-

And now into week 2!!

That's an average pace of 12.39 min/mile!! At 6.2 miles that's about 1.25 hours - which gives me a target of getting my min per mile down to around 11.6 min/mile:))

Got me new shoes and phone carrier :)) 

Correct colours:))

Siobhan at work is running the London Marathon today - best of luck, it hurts me doing my little bit around Bengeo :((

Talked to me about joining a club for motivation - or looking for a local 5k run to aim for - tried that last year and was bitterly disappointed when it didn't come to fruition. So, just going to continue to take small steps..get below 30 mins for my little routeb - then extend the run to follow another path around a quarry...

Today's was good - once I manage to go more than 50 steps without stopping to breath it'll be better !!






The field looks lush ....just my colour :))

Still running ...well it has been a week :)

Determined to keep this up this year ....Here's this evenings time around my little course...



Down from 33 mins :))

Saturday morning...

So, what to do on a Saturday morning...? Suzie is catching up on Frost whilst having a lie in...

Me - up to watch F1 qualifying & then out for another run (walk - breathe)run...

It's a lovely spring day out there - nice enough to hopefully take Suzie's mind off the fact the only job she's been offered has been offered at the wage of an office junior straight from school with no training AND just for three months...firm appears to be wanting the experience but trying to get away with not paying for it...Suzie not the first one they've offered it to!!

Rape seed growing rapidly...



Must get hay fever tablets today...

Oh & speed wise - slowly getting towards last years pace!

Running (walking)running(walking)...again :)

WOW...just been for my first run since late July '11 !!

Returned alive, hot, itchy - last years corn is now this hay fever inducing crop :-




So it's chemists next !!

Really quite surprised at my time around my little course - not too distant from last year and recovering well... and I can still breath !!

Catch up time…..

Last day of term on Friday.  We’re (staff) in the pub, parents are in the park…and this happens…  Thinking of all the children & adults involved, especially the Martin family.

On a happier note – went to watch AFC Wimbledon v Watford pre season game on Saturday – a cracking peter day out.  A couple of ales there, then train back to Waterloo and a wander to Liverpool St via a lovely quiet City…

 

Coffee by Lancaster Place

Close encounter with hungry squirrel at Greyfriars Church…

A chat with this chap…notice the date !!!

Boswell Land…(The Cheshire Cheese by Goff Square..)

Then Sunday……

a birthday lunch with lovely friends, lovely food (cooked by my good self…except for the LUSH strawberry Mouse  - thanx Wifie XXXX) and lovely wine…

#Getfitordie update....

Well - it doesn't get any easier!!

Today couldn't breath for the first part & then when I could breath without gasping like a fish on the river bank my legs said 'Whoo boy that's enough' !! Felt like I was going backwards....

Then I checked my gizmo that tells me how I've done and...



It was THE fastest yet :). Feel better now.

Some pics of 'route A '
