Chelles Running Blog

Little Pom who met an Aussie eight years ago and moved over here to be with him. Love Brisbane and all it has to offer, not sure if I would have been as keen about getting up at 5am during the English winter for a run!

Thursday, 1 December 2005

and then it rained!

Let’s see, I think I’m about a week behind in blogging…. Generally though things are going well and getting back on track. On Monday I went out for a run that a month ago took me 47mins, and completed it in 42mins without a single taste of ITB. Better still, last Thursday I decided to miss the speed work session (have since decided on one a week till the new year) and did the riverloop. Basically the usual track from the Ship Inn, along the floating walkway and back around, I felt tired but didn’t need to stop and managed to keep a fair pace the whole way, even up the hill back over the Storey Bridge.
The plan for this week was
Monday – 40 min run – done
Tuesday – 30min puppy walk – done
Wednesday – 30min puppy run – done
Thursday – speedwork –not done – got up at 5am, left the house and got half way down the street before the rain was so bad I couldn’t even see 5meters in front of me. Filled up with fuel as the car was on empty and drove back home!
Friday – 40min run planned
Saturday – 20min swim planned
Sunday – 1hour run planned

Great news Chelle! Must admit I was a little concerned when you weren't at Pat's this week.

Believe it or not we didn't get a single drop of rain during the session this morning. Though I wished it was p***ing down, at least then I'd have a bit of an excuse for not running as well as planned :-)

Hopefully see you there next week.

Chelle, I'm so glad to hear that you are running again without any sign of an ITB problem. I've still got about 2 weeks off the road thanks to my ITB - I am so looking forward to the day I can run again without it playing up!

So then miss - how did your week pan out in the end? Really glad to hear the ITB is settling down now. Hopefully 2006 will be a BIG year for you!

That's good news Chelle....what a relief it must be to have the ITB behaving itself! I hope you stay well & enjoy Christmas and the new year.
