1095miles – running blog

It’s on days like today I’m grateful of this challenge. Whilst I don’t seem to enter into it in the same spirit as the others it is still a big challenge for me. I can’t believe how much sleep I seem to need these days, I eventually woke up at 4pm today, without this challenge I would have [...]

Firstly apologies to everyone who keeps phoning and texting to see where my blogs are. Some days its hard enough just to breathe let alone breathe, run 3 miles and blog. I seem to be getting my head around things a little easier now so  hopefully I will blog everyday from now on and catch [...]

After yesterday’s disastrous day I decide today will be different. Kev’s brother Neil and niece Georgia are going to run with me today. I have been warned Neil is a hard task master and will not let me walk. Hmmm, we’ll see. Decide I really want to go for it today so leave dogs behind. [...]

Today is a day I wish to forget, didn’t sleep again last night, so slept all day. Dragged myself eventually out for a walk, no dogs, no garmin to record time / distance (but I know I went 3 miles as I now have markers). No incentive. No enthusiasm. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Today’s shoes [...]

No sleep again last night so ended up sleeping all day, finally got up at 4 pm, couldn’t motivate myself at all today. Realised it was 8 pm and I still hadn’t been out for my 3 miles. I really struggled with going out but the only person I would let down if I didn’t was [...]

Today I wake and feel normal. I’m out of bed and it’s only 8.55am. Let’s get breakfast inside me, I attempt 2 pieces of toast today. Surprisingly my legs are not aching too much. After only 2o minutes I decide I’m exhausted and go back to bed, I fall asleep until 12.15 when yet again I’m [...]

Only had about 2 hours sleep last night, cant seem to settle in London, stayed in bed as Danielle left for the day. Managed to get a few more hours sleep until woken up by the phone ringing at 11.30am. My biggest challenge at the moment is not running 3 miles a day but getting [...]

D Day has finally arrived. What have I let myself in for? Calfs still slightly aching and I must have slept awkward last night so my neck is aching too. Cant use excuses for the next 365 days. Nervous now. Plan not to do anything until the run at 6.30 but Danielle has different plans, [...]

Have arranged for friends to come running with me today. We meeting at 12. Dont feel very well so chicken out. Another day, another excuse, realise I cant have any excuses from tomorrow, that scares me. Packed and ready to go to London to meet Andy tomorrow, which will be his last day and my [...]

Tired today, calf slightly aching but not too bad. Off to church. It’s raining heavy as I leave church, decide weather not good for running. We’ll go tomorrow. Day off!
