Race for Life Training
I bet you were wondering where I was! Firstly, I have been really busy because it’s school holidays and therefore, our receptionist has been off and I have been covering her hours as well as my own.
On top of that, I have had a very bad neck (exacerbated by spending too many hours at the computer - so I’ve had to get my ebay addition more under control!) and have been going for physio sessions twice a week for the last 3 weeks. My neck/back is a lot better now but not 100%.
Lastly, I have been training for my 5km run. I had really geared myself up and decided to do the Southampton run on 16th July (although I hadn’t actually entered because of not knowing how my neck would be) and was starting slowly with power walking because I had to be careful with my neck.
2 weeks ago, my mum gave me an invitation to my Dad’s 2 sisters’ joint 50th wedding anniversary party. Now, we’re not a close family - in fact, I’ve only seen one of my Aunts (Betty) once since my wedding 8 years ago and the other sister (Pauline) lives in America - although I am quite close to her and have seen her about 6 times in the last 8 years (including staying with them on a few days of our honeymoon) Anyway, I don’t particularly want to go, but I have to, really. But the do is the night before the Southampton run and in High Wycombe so it would not be advisable to go there the night before my first ever event. So, then I decided to do the High Wycombe run in June and started training and all was going well, (my neck was holding uop to it and I got the go ahead from the physio) so I went to register - and they were full!! Proper gutted!! I was so geared up for it that I couldn’t not do it. I then went into panic mode, trying to find an event which was still open for entries and was on a suitable day (and not too far away) We settled for Watford on 2nd July (only 30mins from Wycombe). Sponsorship is going well and I’m being cheeky and have emailed loads of people and have also put a form in the practice.
Training is also going well. The Race For Life people are really good and have designed a training plan which I’m following. I’m very unfit, though, and am finding it tough. Pat is being my personal trainer and between us things are going as they should - today I did 7 minutes running (with breaks in between)
Right - I’d better go - we’re off to my mum & dad’s for an Easter get together. My brother is over with his Indonesian fiancee and today I get to meet her - am very excited about it!
Will let you know how it goes and will take some photos.
