What a week! Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong!
I haven't even been able to "run-off" my frustrations as I have been taking it easy this week as I have a 15K trail race tomorrow!
The only exercise I have done is a recce of the run route I will be doing on Monday with my Ladies in my new running club called Women on the run!
This consisted of 3 minutes run and 1 minute walk intervals repeated 10 times and I covered 3.43 miles. However, I think I possibly ran too fast and I will be interested to see what my ladies do on Monday!
So tomorrow I have my first race since my calf injury and my first race for several months!
Its a Trail Run starting at Coniston, other than that I don't know much else about the route!
I do know that it will be hard as it's a trail race and I am not at my fittest but I am hoping just to finish it and to enjoy the views!
On a positive note the weather forecast is looking good - lots of sun and no rain - at the moment!!!
I am going to be wearing my "Women On The Run" vest for the first time during a race - might as well advertise whenever I can!
Although if I collapse unconscious it won't be a very good advert!
The best thing about tomorrows race is it doesn't start until 1pm so no silly early get-up which means I have risked a sneaky Gin and Tonic this evening to help relax my stressed nerves!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
