About Me
I started running in July 2004 to train for my first ever race, the Bristol Half Marathon. Since then I have run for 2 running clubs, I changed clubs with the hope of making some big improvements over the next few years. After trying my hands at virtually every distance from 800m up to half marathon over the course of about 3 years, I've discovered I quite like the shorter stuff.
At the start of 2008 I decided to switch to 800m/1500m and changed my training to target those distances. In my first track season I managed to get my 800m PB down from 2:16 to 2:09 and 1500m PB from 4:51 to 4:29. I'm hoping to make similar improvements in 2009, but first I have the XC season to tackle!
My long term target now is to become a member of the British Milers Club (BMC), but to do that I have to achieve one of the qualifying times (i.e. 1:55 for 800m or 3:55 for 1500m), you can see the full list of qualifying times here Link (roll over me to see where I go)

7.5m,
Running - General
Went to parents house for dinner and managed to get out for a run eating. Did a loop from the house, to golf course down to Farrington, down and then across to Goosard Lane and back via Paulton. It was very hot and humid and with lack of fitness it was hard work - had to keep stopping and touching gates to cool off! Really pleased with the distance though as it's a lot further than the other "get back into it" runs I have done so far.

Running - General
Started the run late because we needed to go to Tesco so I was already feeling tired. I did a new loop to Westfield Trading Estate via a new path. Then head down to cycle track and over to Clapton Road and up the hill onto the footpaths before heading down again to Riverside Gardens and then up to the railway line - a quick run down to the end of the line for a look and then back - across the hunters cross and waded my way through the thick undergrowth to the field. Headed straight across the field to the road then back towards Westfield via the B3139 road until I reached the woodland path and took that back home (very dark by this point!). Felt quite tired today, but I feel like I'm starting to get some sort of fitness back, just very slowly.

I had to clear about 200m nettles as they were getting very overgrown. It took a while and gave me blisters on my right hand, but it was worthwhile as the path is now clear for (hopefully) the rest of the year. I cut the loop shorter than planned because of this, but I felt quite tired anyway, plus it was really hot. I did the loop heading towards Stratton-on-the-Foss (without getting lost this time!).

Family walk with Eunice, Tyler, mum and dad. I carried Tyler and took everyone along the route I had cleared this morning - although we still got a little stung! Eunice moaned almost the whole way! But it was a nice walk - felt tired at the end.

6.5m,
Running - General
Did a runch after over a week of not having time, I had to make time today and that meant running in heat - which I hate. Did an 'out n back' along the canal - I had planned 7.3 miles but cut it short due to struggling! Had to stop half way and cool down using the canals water, then stopped again by the put and a guy offered me his hose to cool down/drink from. Found this hard work though, mostly due to the heat.

6.3m,
Running - General
Runch loop from BOA bridge to golf course and then woodland by canal, then along canal and loop of field near road crossing followed by along canal to turn bridge then back on path and left into field by boat club, around up to road and back along road. It wasn't quite as hot as Monday but still felt unbearable, especially toward the end. Legs were very heavy and a little sore at the start, which is strange considering how much rest I've had.

6.5m,
Running - General
Did a loop up towards SOTF in reverse but added an extra loop by following another footpath up hill and then onto a road which took me to the farm we visited last Sunday. Found a bridleway opposite and went down that and back into the woodland, cleared the stinging nettles at the far side (which gave me more blisters!) and then headed home. Felt quite heavy and tired but pleased to get the run in.

Pre-work run from BOA car park to Avoncliff via side woods, then to Limpley Stoke and back via the canal. Felt quite heavy and tired, plus it was humid. Pleased to get the run in before work.

Out and back pre-work run along canal to Trowbridge. Lovely morning, but felt heavy and tired. Running felt like a real slog today.
