Half Marathon Training - Week 6 & 7 Recap

Sorry guys!!!!

Really - I am caught up in the practical difficullties of moving jobs, moving home & pressing financial commitments in the wake of our new home  that now bloggy time is much reduced!

Quickly then, since I missed week 6 recap last week, here goes:

• I worked out 6 out of 7 days which was fantastic!
• However I could not accomodate my weekday runs!
• The longest run of the week was a 10k which was slow and possibly the hardest run so far
• Strength training went well
• The week ended with severe PMS and so I decided to really take the next week easy!

 Week 7 was this:

•   I did not exercise much except for the long run on Sunday - 11.2k even though the mapmyrun app on my iphone screwed up and showed only 9.6 kms
• The long run was good and even though I felt tired by the 6k mark I was able to get into the "zone" around the 7k mark and finished strong!!!

 Food:

• Much chocolate was ingested with no reason and so also carbs. I have clamped down now!

Weight:

• Still stays around 75 so not much difference

 Pain

• I am feeling good - almost pain free except my knees on long run days!

So that brings me to week 8 now. That means I've got just under 6 weeks to hit the D-day! I am very very nervous and have serious moments of self doubt. But still, I want to give this all I have.

Regular blogging should resume soon!
