Keep on running

Still running!

2014 has been the year of the run for me.  I've let my open water swimming habit (and any other kind of swimming).. slip.  That was deliberate, I wanted time to concentrate on my running and develop it.

In the Spring, I had a moment of madness and entered a half marathon.  The 13.1 mile event takes place in just over two weeks and is on the roads around the Vale of York.  Happily, it's a flat course!

Despite having lots of time to prepare, I've found the training really tough.  I've struggled to run the longer routes (10 miles+) and although I've successfully ran 10 miles on a few occasions, these runs have wiped me out.  I've also not particularly like the pressure felt, through having entered an event.

But there it is.  I know from my open water experiences, it will be a great day and I have a few running friends completing the event with me.  At the moment my plans for running for after the event are drastically different to this year.  But I'll wait to see how I feel after the event before you can hold me to anything ;-)
