Training Log Archive: Becks

Signed up for the Bimblers Bash next weekend. Let's see if I can beat my boss. I'm not hopeful, this is more to shock me into doing some training and also get over my general fear of racing than to do well. I will try to do more trail races this year in general I think.

Amazing day! Took off to the top of West Rock for a lunchtime run. Incredibly warm - would have been fine with just a vest, and white tipped black winged butterflies everywhere. The hill back up from Farm Brook is a lot longer than I remember it being. This patch of woods is beautiful, and there were many families (and someone shooting some kind of drama scene with blanks and police presence) out and about. I definitely have some kind of illness or allergies - throat became sore very quickly as soon as I started running and HR high. Probably allergies, as this seems to happen around this time every year.

Garden update: I am impatient and want things to start growing in my boxes. Surely it shouldn't be long now the temperatures are up? My leek and onions seedlings are out and seem to be coping well after just over a week of hardening off. My tomato seedlings are growing like crazy, but they'll have to stick inside for a while yet. The broccoli is making mediocre progress but it looks like I'll have plenty of chives. Peppers might be a bit meh, they're very slow, but I can always buy seedlings if they don't look big enough when it's time to go out. The 20+ degrees sensible registering out in my sun room now must be good for them! They still come inside at night though.
