Meh still hobbling

Run along the beach barefoot was going good until I noticed a huge flap of skin flapping on my foot so looked at it and it was bright red and bleeding so walked back to the car...freezing

Then I found that I had the same on the other foot. 8/10toes now have huge blood blister on them.....I HATE THE BEACH!

Dont want to overdo it too soon so having the days off today and I'll do something proper tomorrow

Did a run which is similar to Kirstin's 30 signs as a concept. Ran out to the Lobley hill then down to the swimming baths. Then did hill reps up the four biggest roads I could find;
Dunston Bank (420m 56m climb (13%) 2:24mins
Duckpool Lane (380m 44m climb (12%) 2:20mins
Lambton Avenue (520m 64m climb (12%) 3:05mins
Whickham Bank (870m 112m " (13%) 4:52mins

Then did one final token hill effort up to my house:
Broom Lane (200m 12m climb (6%) 0:54mins

Whipped out my shorts for the first time this year and realised now that lycra rules :P Set off a little too fast as it was a bit cold but then remembered what was a head of me so slowed down. Didn't push the hills at full boar as I knew the last 'proper' hill was the worst, but upon reaching the top I didn't stop either glancing at my watch so I knew how long then jogged off back down the hill. Quite enjoyed it in a sadistic way and felt I was running quite well but not the brilliant feeling you have before your ill either so I'm hoping that short rest has killed it off :D

Talent squad selections are out and didn't get in.
Any mistakes the people selected make I'm going to take nail them!


Also bollocks just realised that I should have gone for a run tonight but misread my training plan :(

C • what happened to the ntt ta... 4

Run upto Ryton and back (most of the way). I had been feeling really tired all day after yesterday probably and was in two minds about going out. Then decided to and felt great, was roughly running at the same pace on the way out as I was on the way back but started to tire once I got back to Blaydon and had to struggle to make it through the hour. But got there :)


Note: Then had a really long slow uphill walk all the way home

Morning run from school down to Denton Burn and back up via the A167.

Heart rate was a bit high but I couldn't feel like I could run any slower.

Back home from the swimming pool again. Dunston Bank wasn't too bad tonight got up it quickly without realising. The fields were horrible, too wet and muddy to go decently. Will be much better in the summer when it's harder
