About Me

I started running in 2006 after foolishly agreeing to do a 10k the following day, training for which consisted of not having a cigarette on the morning of the race. I've given up smoking numerous times (I last had one to alleviate the stress of moving house on 1st November, 2019) and done a couple of triathlons and thirteen marathons since, but mostly I run because it makes me feel happy. Finally achieved a sub-4 hour marathon at Anglesey in September 2010 and again in Chester in 2013. To balance this I achieved a new personal worst in London Marathon in 2014. I'm aiming to qualify for a Good For Age London Marathon place in 2037.
In 2015 I ran my bucket list marathon, Snowdonia. To celebrate turning 50 I did Shropshire triathlon 7 minutes faster than my 42-year old self and am now foolishly trying to knock over 6 minutes off my 10k pb to go sub-40. This seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened (especially as I am increasingly convinced that life is a computer simulation).

2.1mi, 38:53 Cross-Training - Walking Little walk up the lane as far as the Welshpool sign, then further on to the narrow lane looping around and then back home. Only started Garmin part way through.

2mi, 19:15 Running - General Up to the crossroads with the signpost and back. Jude has taken Garmin to work to count her steps, so used MapMyRun app. Felt like I ran bloody hard! Add a comment	1.1mi, 10:11 Running - General Just a mile - down to the Llanfair road and back. Steep hill. Worryingly breathless after this, my second run in two days. Did I mention the drizzle? Split Summary === 1) 1m - 9:26(9:26/m) 109cal 6.36/7.37mph 2) 0.08m - 45(9:16/m) 8cal 6.48/6.35mph Add a comment	-	2.2mi, 21:01 Running - General Back aching a bit today after no exercise and too much driving yesterday. Ran up the lane to the barn house, left up the narrow lane, right to the crossroads and back down the lane. Felt fine, which is as good as I can expect at the moment. Split Summary === 1) 1m - 9:55(9:55/m) 109cal 6.06/6.85mph 2) 1m - 9:28(9:28/m) 109cal 6.34/6.93mph 3) 0.17m - 1:38(9:37/m) 19cal 6.24/6.66mph Add a comment	-	-	-

Split Summary === 1) 1m - 10:00(10:00/m) 109cal 5.99/6.45mph 2) 1m - 10:03(10:03/m) 110cal 5.97/6.22mph 3) 1m - 9:22(9:22/m) 109cal 6.41/6.93mph 4) 0.01m - 6(7:55/m) 1cal 7.58/6.59mph Add a comment	-	3.1mi, 30:18 Running - General Lane, narrow lane, along road towards B-road, then home. Split Summary === 1) 1m - 9:58(9:58/m) 107cal 6.02/6.7mph 2) 1m - 9:48(9:48/m) 109cal 6.12/6.53mph 3) 1m - 9:17(9:17/m) 110cal 6.46/6.78mph 4) 0.13m - 1:16(9:57/m) 14cal 6.03/6.47mph Add a comment	-	2.4mi, 23:12 Running - General Lane, narrow lane, left then right as far as first tree, then signpost crossroads and home. Set off in sunshine, finished in stinging hailstones!

-	-	-	-	2.6mi, 24:35 Running - General Fastest run so far this month, inadvertently. Lane, narrow lane, left, right as far as the start of big dip, then back to signpost and home. Felt like I was actually running rather than trudging for the first time in a long while. Briefly. Split Summary === 1) 1m - 9:39(9:39/m) 108cal 6.22/6.99mph 2) 1m - 9:41(9:41/m) 110cal 6.2/6.74mph 3) 0.59m - 5:15(8:57/m) 64cal 6.7/7.1mph Add a comment	-	3.7mi, 33:41 Running - General Up the lane to the Newtown road, straight across as far as the sign on a tree (Baxter Mill, I think). Then back and right at the crossroads an down the narrow lane. Longest run since summer, I think and surprisingly fast. I've only had three better Decembers! Split Summary === 1) 1m - 9:37(9:37/m) 109cal 6.24/6.99mph 2) 1m - 9:14(9:14/m) 108cal 6.5/6.76mph 3) 1m - 9:09(9:09/m) 110cal 6.56/6.87mph 4) 0.66m - 5:40(8:37/m) 70cal 6.96/7.14mph Add a comment
