Well not really been doing much. Apart from the Freckleton half marathon on father's day. Weather was warm and sunny. However though it was overcast and cold at the start so I dressed for the occassion and by 3 or 4 miles into the race I really wanted to shed some of the clothing, but I thought better of it as the bystanders might not of liked the sight heee heee. The race was a 2pm start so it gave everyone time to get ready. I even met up with one of the runners that I talk to on runners world and facebook.........Hi Claire.
The race itself was very well organised. Marshalls were friendly, there was plenty of water stations dotted about and first aiders etc. They was people out of their houses giving you water and even hosing you down YES it was that warm. Only thing was by mile 4 my old injury came back to haunt me and my leg gave out. Me being me though never gave up even though there was no pressure to finish the race. I hobbled and sped walked to the finish in an impressive (well for me) 2hrs 25min. I knew even without the injury I was aiming for the 2hr mark. So I was not all that despondent. No medal they gave us all umbrella's with Freckleton Half Marathon written on them. Was well chuffed with that as I can use it loads in Scotland lol.
Apart from that not much training. Was on holiday end of June till mid July. Only got back into training this week. Still feeling it. Cycled to work yesterday. After work cycled to the pool to get my swim session in with the Glasgow Tri Club. After which I cycled home.
