A new approach…

Exactly how today’s session was! After struggling with running (and having to throw in the towel) on Wednesday, for some reason it made me even more determined to get in the gym today. My last day at work before a week off, I was up against it to get an hour at lunchtime. But I […]

A treadmill too far…

With 179 days to go until the Great North Run, I headed off today for another lunchtime treadmill session. After a run on Saturday in the sunshine, I felt invincible and thought the gym would be easy in comparison. Oh how wrong was I? After a few stretches, I started the treadmill, and set it […]

Then yesterday’s session was scuppered by my horrendous headache. […]

So. Friday 4 March 2011. The Great North Run is a little over six months away. And I’m always the one sitting there saying, “Yes, I know I need to train. But they always say ‘Don’t start too early’!” Firstly, I’ve no idea who ‘they’ are. Secondly, this isn’t my first Great North Run. I […]
