Just completed my 30 minute easy run (2.92 miles), It was hard at first to pace myself as I wanted to push myself harder but after the first mile I really enjoyed the slow jog, loosing myself in thought.

The sun came out to play – So nice to have a bit of sunny weather to run in.

I need to test out and start breaking in my new trainers, After reading reviews and blogs on previous runners of the Portsmouth Marathon it was suggested getting Trail trainers due to mud and slippery ground (Being December) so I bought some Karrimor Sabre Trail trainers, they claim to be waterproof and breathable and at £42.00 its hard to go wrong. I only ran on the pavement today but the trainers were comfortable.

I am looking forward to tomorrows 5 mile run, Lets hope the weather is as good 🙂

Wow, I cannot believe it’s been 3 months since I posted anything, don’t time fly!

Lots have happened since April, I got rid of the Nike watch and changed to a Garmin, absolutely fantastic, even though the watch was not the most expensive it is by far a better watch for me.

When getting back of my holiday in April i finally bought myself a set of scales and to my horror i had gained over 2 stone in a year, no wonder my jeans did not fit me on holiday😣

I am happy to say my weight as almost back to normal now, it took a lot of hard work but it was worth it!

I have kept up with the running and I am hooked.

I have even managed to get myself a place on the Portsmouth Coastal Marathon on December 23rd, I am so looking forward to this, The course looks fantastic, mostly flat and the views are supposed to be great.

I would love a sub 4 hour marathon but realistically it will probably be 4:20 or close, we will have to see, I ran a half marathon last Sunday and even though I was not pushing myself i was disappointed with the time (2:07), hopefully the next one will be better. I did run a 10k yesterday in 51 minutes so pleased with that.
