AM: Long run today, as trip to London
planned on Sunday. Weather was absolutely freezing, strong bitterly cold
northerly wind, but no snow. Didn’t feel exactly spritely and it again seemed a
long slog all the way round. But the important thing at this stage was that the
run was done!!!

AM: Cross Country – had to set up Lucy’s
orienteering competition and went out and put all the points out around Dibgate
Camp, once this was done Lucy & I took George back up to Dibgate for a run
round. When everybody had finished we stopped and had lunch at the Britannia
Pub, before going back out round the course to collect all the marker points
back up.

Sunday 20/01/13
AM:06:30 Meant to be going to London this morning with
the Scouts to the Camping Exhibition at the Excel Centre. So got up early to
get an easy run in. Not snowing when I started at 06:30 but by end of run it
had started to come down!! Again very
slow pace as roads were treacherous!!
AM:09:20
London trip aborted due to adverse weather, Lucy Tim & Angela were
going out to do a 14 miler and Lucy twisted my arm to go with them. So after a
shower and some breakfast it was straight back out onto the roads. It was now
snowing quite heavily but not to windy, and where it was laying it made it
easier to run on rather than ice. We went from Folkestone down into Hythe, and
just passed Seabrook we heard some shouts from behind, it was Kirsty who had
been trying to catch us up for a couple of miles, so we stopped and waited for
her. In fact she had been a few minutes behind us all the way round!!!! Got back into Folkestone at about 13 miles
and Lucy wanted to get an extra one in to make 14 so we did a loop passed
Sports Centre to Cornwallis Ave and back.
AM: Distance: 4 miles
Time: 00:41:33 Ave
Pace: 10.22 m/m
AM: Distance: 14 miles Time: 02:14:54 Ave Pace: 9.42 m/m

This is the HIGHEST weeks milage I have ever run!!! I think I'm starting to get stronger as not feeling so tired at end of this week as I did in the early 100 mile weeks. Pleased with speed session on Tuesday with slowest half mile rep at 5.50 m/m. So after another couple of heavy weeks will take a reduced week next week in readiness for the Southern XC Champs at Parliament Hill, can guarantee this will be a tough race especially if there is still snow on the ground!!
