For Pete’s Sake

So if you read my last post you’ll know that I was struggling with distance. However my last two runs have put paid to that really. On Thursday I manager was a shocking 5.7mi and to prove getting over that 3mi barrier wasn’t a fluke I ran 3.9mi today. It feels good right now and I could’ve gone further today. I didn’t because right now my body in some areas is still playing catchup. I hope to, on Tuesday, to maybe run 6mi or so, possibly more. I’ve gotta get close to that 13.1mi distance. I don’t feel I’ll have to run that distance before hand. I think if I can manage a couple 10mi runs before Freckleton I think I’ll be ok.

In other news, United won the Premiership which is very cool, nice to get back-to-back Championships. Whether we’ll win the Champions League this coming Wednesday is another thing. We’ve struggled against Chelsea in the league and I don’t think much will change in Europe. It’ll be close and we can nick it, it’ll be nail baiting for sure. I’m currently watching game 5 of the NHL Championship game between my Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers. We’re 5-0 currently so I think we should win which will seal our place in the Stanley Cup Finals.

So there we go a sort of quick update, nothing special but some interesting things of note.

Well after last update things training wise has stifled a little. I’m struggling to get up to 3mi and I’m not 100% sure why. I seem to be having issue with cramp which could be mostly down to fluid intake so I’m trying to sort that out but the weirder of the two is my left quad just doesn’t seem up to the task at all. I’m hoping some slight changes I’ve made since my last run will help me crack and surpass the 3mi mark and get me back on track in time for Freckleton.

In other amazingness news, not only have I received my special edition of GTA IV but I’m now also on the FM Live beta which is bloody fantastic! I’m really enjoying checking this game out and what I’ve seen so far is persuading me to purchase/subscribe to this game upon release. So much fun that after this post I’ll be loading it up for some games :)
