This was almost exactly the same length run that I did Monday night, at the same speed, but tonight I couldn't keep my HR down to 145 as intended. I'm knackered, maybe that has something to do with it. Didn't sleep a wink last night.

Sneaked out of work a bit early today so I could meet Spock in the gym. She's now a fully paid up member, and we might even do some classes together. Eeeek! I hate classes with a passion, but maybe doing them with a friend will be different. And there are so many on offer, all included in the membership, so it seems a shame not to try some.

Am now trying this heart-rate training lark in the run up to this ludicrous 10k coming up in October. I have high hopes.

55 x mins @ 65 - 70% of max HR (It felt slow. I didn't really feel knackered at any point. Just a bit bored). Think it was about 8k, or just under.

G & I were supposed to be running the Littlehampton 10k today; the race that I originally thought would be the first one I'd do after the marathon.

I don't know what happened really, it just crept up on us and then on holiday I said: you do realize this race is in two weeks, don't you...? Neither of us felt ready for it or that we'd trained enough, but the truth is we both could easily have done it, especially G who is just getting faster and faster and faster. (I would never have been able to do it in the time I wanted). Also, because the next (and far more conveniently located) race is only two weeks away it didn't seem such a big deal. But still slightly disappointing, although, when I saw the weather this morning - gale force winds, rain, black clouds - I didn't mind too much.

I was going to have a total day off today but ... I don't feel like I should be having days off at the moment. I don't really feel the need for them. Plus I have loads of work things coming up in the next few weeks which mean I'm going to be forced to take days off when I don't want to.
