20 weeks to go...

ok, here goes. my plan of action for this week. last week I kept to plan, bar tuesday where I didnt feel up to trying the "on the ball" class as tummy was a little achey from my first pilates class for ages ~ amazing how that can hurt when you are laying on the floor for most of it :)

did my longer run this morning. 4miles in 47.44mins. the last half a mile was horrible until the last bit where I was just flying along :) I planned my route so that the big hill was less than a mile in & although the first half of my run was on a slight incline, the rest of the run was a downhill reward :)

so, for next week:

monday or tuesday. hill training. maybe at the gym but followed by either a pilates class or the on the ball class (hoping to fit one of these in)

wednesday. half hour of stamina podcast or week 1 doing intervals of faster running.

thursday. pilates

friday. maybe another pilates class.

friday or saturday. next long run, aiming at 4 1/2 miles this time.

right, thats it. all put down in writing on here & in my diary so lets hope I can keep to it :)
