Some weeks just don't go to plan. I'd scaled back my strength training a bit because it was taking too long and all was going well until Thursday when the car needed an unscheduled trip to the garage to get the brakes sorted. An accident on the way home from work and rush hour traffic meant that Thursday's run and strength session just didn't happen. I probably could have fitted a few miles in but on Wednesday I'd tried a more advanced hip flexor stretch. It was very effective but I paid for it on Thursday when a day long meeting combined with 4 hours driving meant everything seized up.
Friday wasn't a lot better between heading out to buy new hiking boots and another trip to the garage when they hadn't solved the noise problem and strength training went by the wayside again, though I did get some running in while waiting for the garage to have a look at the car.
Saturday was Parkrun and another PB - the 4th so far this year. A full 24 seconds off my previous PB and my highest ever age grade score, so I've awarded myself a big smiley star in the training diary. I managed to get in a few extra miles on Saturday which mostly covered the miles I'd missed on Thursday, but then ran out of time for any strength work (and didn't get a lot of other jobs done either).
Planning for camp at half term and issuing kit took a big chunk out of Sunday though I did manage to get in an easy 7 and a bit miles. It had to be easy because after yesterday's tempo runs my legs are feeling it a bit today.
This weeks stats:
Miles: 25.42
