Morning all!
Well this week was an eventful week. The Lard Streak has begun! Whether you class 7 days of running in a row as a streak as such is up for debate, but you have to start somewhere!
As a result this blog has now changed format again, and will hopefully be settled for the time being. Please do make sure that you spread the word, because knowing people are reading this makes all the difference! Spread the Lard!
Runs Completed - Week Ending 3rd June
Saturday - 3.8 miles @ 8:42mm
The first run for 5 days and the start of the big streak! The usual roads around Chiswick starting and finishing at home. Early morning on a Saturday that there wasn't much going on. One small alarm when I nearly tripped over a drunk (prob homeless bloke).
Sunday - 1.2 miles @ 8:06mm
A little stretch before the BUPA 10K on the Monday.
Monday - 6.4 miles @ 8:23mm
The BUPA 10K was a great event. Once more as I lined up for a race in London the clouds parted and the race took place in pretty hot conditions to be honest. Lardy Boy went out in different livery as I was running for The Children's Society so was wearing their fetching purple vest. The pace I set was pretty good, I want to get my 10K PB down to 50 minutes this year. I wasn't expecting to do that yet and was very pleased with my 53:29, a new PB by some 4 mins or so. The run was away from Buck House, along Embankment up and around the City and then a return, finishing on the Mall running toward Buck House. Finished just over 3,000th out of 10,500 runners. Pretty chuffed! To be able to take part in a great race that allows you to run through the heart of one of the best cities in the world is amazing. Big Lardy Boy recommendation, although a bit slow at the start (traffic!)
Tuesday - 5.3 miles @ 9:24mm
Decided to press on with a longish recovery run down to river in Hammersmith then towpath to Barnes and back to Lard Towers. Legs were pretty heavy but not as bad as I thought they might be
Wednesday - 3.6 miles @ 9:02mm
Pretty non-descript run around Chiswick. Had to go out mid-morning though so had to dodge the people traffic including one total numpty who appeared unable to walk, stare at Blackberry and keep mouth closed all at one moment. Nice sweaty sweary chuntering by LB got his attention though!
Thursday - 1.2 miles @ 8:25mm
Day off work and away with the kids. A quick streak saver before Super-Dad duties.
Friday - 1.2 miles @ 8:08mm
Wanted to do a longer run but I have a lot of work on today, so needed to do a quicky. We also have the pleasure of the Maccas visit this afternoon, so lots of beers, wine and food this evening. I hope he is bringing his trainers for tomorrow's early morning run!
Have a great weekend all
LBX
