My run today...

Not so much a poem... more a glorified list

Music in my ears,
sun in the sky.
Cars, buses, lorries
Roads, woods and estuary.
Horses.
Dogs, big and small.
Birds on the water (don't ask me what type )
Runners,cyclists, walkers,
Toddlers on trikes.
Up and down hill.
Aching legs,
turning beetroot
A happy heart
and a smile on my face.

Targets and goals

I was really chuffed to get past the 500km point last week, and doubly so because I managed just over 100km in that week alone. The most I'd done in a week up until that point had been 66km. I decided to really push myself and see if I could complete 100km, and though I was doubtful I would, I did it. I couldn't keep that up every week, partly because of other commitments, but it's good to know I am capable of making up for weeks when I can't do so much- ie school holidays. The half term break really brought it home to me that I can't fit my usual amount of training in, in those weeks - and there are a lot of weeks taken up with school holidays in the year!! So every now and again I will do a full-on week of training to make up for those times and also to test what I'm capable of. I guess my next goal should be to complete between 110 and 125 km in a week, and of course the next big goal is to get to 1000km- hoping to do that by the beginning of June.
