TGBane:
Oh hum.
Pure bubbled a $10.50 turbo super K/O for the 3rd time on the trot.
Most definitely sticking to the running now.

Had a couple days off of work and my eating has not been too good and really needed to get to the gym today, Im trying to hit the gym twice a week and road twice a week to help ease the impact on my knees and ankles.
Yesterday I went for a nice but very cold walk down to the beach with my family, was a long way so had to keep carrying my daughter up, when I got home something had been pulled inside my chest and almost every movement was agony, this morning it had cleared slightly, I was determined to just run through it in the hope that it would loosen up.
I have set up a 2nd gym membership in southampton and was planning on getting in and out before the rush hour.
Unfortunately a short trip into town for some shopping took longer than planned and that put that plan to waste.
A quick call to the baby sitter (my mummy) and all was sorted for a later visit.
I have purchased a few running accessories to help stave off injuries and keep me training.
The compression sleeves for my calves arrived today so todays dress routine was as follows:
new running shorts
new compression sleeves, felt good albeit a little tight (I was on the lower end of the measurement chart) my calves have caused me the most pain after a run so persisted.
knee brace
ankles braces
new running socks
trainers
top
what a site I must have been but I do not care there are more important things than how I look.
got to the new gym and it was a fair size, 3 different areas of treadmills, all facing white walls, as if treadmills are not boring enough, you get to stare at a blank wall for the duration.
There was the odd tv dotted around but not at the right height to retain a correct running posture.
From the very first step I was in pain, I pushed on in the hope that it would ease........nope......pretty much hell for the whole 62min session.
I managed 50mins running and hit 5miles (8km)
tomorrow the same is planned except for the compression sleves, I am going to wash them and use them for the recovery if my calves hurt, funny, that made me just realise that my calves are currently not hurting  still not wearing them again while running though.
Thank you for reading and see you tomorrow.

Have been feeling pretty poo all week and it took me 20mins to get off of the sofa tonight to get myself to the gym.
My legs felt heavy but better than when I ran on tuesday.
Due to having the calories burnt instead of speed I did not know how fast I was running until I noticed that the figures did not quite match up.
I had added 0.2kph, it may not seem a lot but my legs say otherwise
50mins and 5.06miles
Depending on what time I get home from work tomorrow it will either be another trip to the gym for a fartleck session or hit the road for another 5k pb attempt.

Due to work plans I changed my fridays session to a long run today.
I spent time last night planning the route around Romsey before changing my mind and thought that last weeks hills were not that bad.
Idiot Idiot Idiot, today they were hell, I made it through 5 miles ok but then it went south and and my calfs and knees screamed at me for the rest of it.
Theres no quit in me now so head down and plough on through.
Managed 8.65miles, it took me a little longer than I had hoped but I still did it.
Somehow, even with my bad eating this week I managed to lose 4 lbs, down to 15st 8lbs.
Hoping I can keep this up now, looking to drop the 8lbs in the next 2 weeks, going to be tough but it is achievable.
