I got my top of the range, casio classic from Argos for £7.99 to get a more accurate timing for my 3 mile run and it inspired me to my quickest finish to date - 28 minutes and 7 seconds. I may just make the Olympic 2012 team yet!!
It hurt today though as I was conscious of being timed, I pushed myself. I didn't really get to grips with my breathing again, but then it does say on the training guide that the shorter runs should be used to take yourself out of your comfort zone and I certainly did that! Still, I am please to have broken the 30 minute mark for the first time. So far, it's run number 12 and my 40th training mile completed. Tomorrow is my 2nd 5 miler so there'll be plenty of mind games going on to get me through it no doubt. I'll just have to keep reminding myself that I did it last week so there's no reason why I can't do it again!
My business cards arrived on Thursday, the ones I talked about earlier in the blog, so I am armed with my blog and sponsorship address all the time now which will hopefully get more people involved and sponsoring. Which leads me nicely on to the sponsor me button to the right!! If you haven't done so already, there's no time like the present! Hit that button and do a good thing today.
