50 not out

I hit the big 5 0 in training miles today with a 3 mile run. I haven't been sleeping well these last couple of nights so when the alarm went at 0600 the last thing I wanted to do was run! I stole another 15 minutes before getting up and getting ready.

The usual routine of running my cold bath whilst I'm having a shave, before going to get my slice of toast. Again it was dark but not as cold as I expected today. I completed the 3 miles in 27 minutes and 44 seconds which was quicker than my previous 3 mile best - I feel I'm getting somewhere and the training is paying off...although Tracey did warn me not to over do it trying to get a new land speed record :)

I'm loving the fact that I am having no aches or pains during the day after a run now...apart from when I do a longer Sunday run, but then I always have my tea and scone down town on a Sunday...purely for medicinal purposes obviously!!

We've crept up to £245 now so thank you to the latest sponsors. The next goal is to push on past the £300 mark so if you want to be the one that gets the total closer to that figure, as usual the "sponsor me" button is just to the right :)
