Running 365 - Jan

 

 

 302.47 miles ran in 43 hours 53 minutes. 31 days of running. Started off with a nasty cough and didn't get out as much as I would have liked but managed my third highest month ever. I plan to run about 4000 miles this year so need to get out even more.

Ealing Common at 7am

 I can't figure out how to get a table to look good in this blog. Sorry.

10  Mon 25 7pm 9.03 1:10:00 7:45:00 bounding home again. Just tried to keep running fast (relatively) and managed to keep a near breathless pace all the way. Feel so much better than this time last week even with 47 miles in the legs still.
11 Sun 24 6pm 7 54:00:00 7:43:00 Felt absolutely fine (except for knee which I fell on). I would never have thought I'd ran 47 miles yesterday. I should have run the race today, I would have gone faster.

19  Tue 19 7pm 9.03 1:15:00 8:18:00 Running home, was only going to do 3 or 4 miles but I felt less tight as i went and did the whole thing. Life is good when runs end up being 3 times as long.
20 Mon 18 8pm 2.5 24:00:00 9:36:00 Work to Paddington. Really tight still.

25 Thu 14 7pm 0 30:00:00 - Massage. Roberto really dug into my achillies so much that I had to bite the pillow. Need to get compression socks  and stretch more.

30  Mon 11 6pm 9.03 1:15:00 8:18:00 Finally. A first from 2010. I felt like I was running again, so such so that I actually drew sweat. Almost as if my lungs are capable of extracting oxygen from the air.
31 Sun 10 7pm 7 1:00:00 8:34:00  
32  Sat 9 7pm 7 1:00:00 8:34:00 Enjoying the icy canal. Slipping about all over the place.

35  Wed 6 7pm 1 8:00:00 8:00:00 A "streaksaver" running a mile to and from the take-away to save my streaking goal for the year. Was hideous, coughing all over the place.
