Week 8 Complete - Half Way Point

I have now hit the half way point of the training plan, Week 8 complete of the 16 week training plan. Feeling good so far, with fingers crossed, I can report that I am not suffering from any injuries, just a little tired and some sore toes, but nothing that will divert the training plan.

It has been a pretty wet week, but once I am out there, the rain does not really cause too many problems, its the wind that is the killer.

Mixed the training up a bit this week, with the Tuesday night 'technical night' taking the shape of a couple of miles run to the Basingstoke running track, then 5 x 800 metres fast sessions, then 2 miles run back home. It was a good feeling on the track... maybe dreams of London 2012 are not yet over!!!!!

Saturday saw my longest run yet - 2.5 hours, with a distance of just over 17 miles. There was one of my mother-in-law's legendary curries waiting at the end of that run, so it made those last few miles ploughing through Oakley easier to complete.

Week 8 Target -> 34
Week 8 Actual -> 40

BMI 25.21, Weight 77.2 KG (12 stone 2 lbs) - exactly the same as last week....

8 weeks (56 days) to go!!!!

The Song that helped me ignore the rain -> Kings of Leon - Use Somebody.
