AM: No Run Recovering from yesterdays race
PM: 16:25 - Went down to Folkestone as had
a meeting at 3 Hills at 6pm. So wanted to get run in before meeting. It was
like a blizzard strong easterly wind and hard snow, which was really sting
face. Went round the Old Folkestone 9 in a clockwise direction so I got the
wind behind me along the Leas. Pace was very easy and still felt quite tired
from yesterdays race.
PM: 20:10 – After meeting managed to get
out of Folkestone OK in the card but could not get up either of hills to
Etchinghill. So left car in Lay by on A20, put my running shoes on and ran up
over Tolsford Hill, experiencing some thigh high snow drifts on the way.

Tuesday 12/03/13
AM: Got out to go and collect car from A20,
went down road way past Beachborough to check out that the road was passible
when I brought the car back. Easy running
PM: Club was cancelled due to weather conditions
and lack of staff at 3 Hills. So went out with Lucy round Lyminge and Rhodes
Minnis, roads were very snowy and icy. The worst part was coming down the lanes
back into West Lyminge where the snowdrifts were blocking the whole lane and
must have been at least 10ft deep. We could see footprints going over the top
of them so we crawled and struggled down a 200m stretch before getting back to
the road. Absolutely insane but great fun!!

Saturday 16/03/13
AM: We had decided to do our long run today
as it was Lucys quiz night this evening and we thought it would be good to get
long run out of the way so we wouldn’t have to worry about getting up to do it
on the Sunday morning. Tim and I set off and did three laps of Radnor park and
then on up Black Bull Road. We we in pursuit of Angela, Kirsty, Becky &
Rachel who were doing 18 miles as opposed to our 20. We caught them up at
Church Road in Cheriton and after a brief chat we carried on at our pace as we
had further to go the other side of Hythe.
It was a SW wind so was quite hard work battling into until we got just
passed Palmarsh Garage. When we turned it was nice to have the wind behind us
but I was feeling awfully tired and couldn’t go any faster even if I wanted to,
still tired from Thursdays intervals I think!!!
We finally caught the girls again coming into Seabrook and again after a
brief chat we headed off again missing Sandgate hill and opting for the toll
road and seafront. The last three miles were a real drag and it was starting to
rain hard now, and I was starting to feel cold.
We made it back and it was good to get another one out of the way.
PM: Distance: 20miles
Race Time: 02:41:16 Ave Pace:
8.04 m/m
Sunday 17/03/13
PM: Went out on Sunday afternoon on my own
to get a long recovery run in after yesterdays long run, it had been raining
earlier but now luckily the rain and strong wind had subsided.

Due to snow and drifts at the beginning of
the week, could not get done what I really wanted but very happy the mile
intervals on Thursday. Managed to salvage a decent weekly mileage of 88 by the
end of the week. Hopefully will get another decent higher week in next week and
handicap will provide good time trial over 4.5miles.
