One Week to go!

Hello to world and just one week to go to half marathon although going keep running after so already thinking what to run next...but lets just enjoy this one first I guess :)
anyway going to try not to panic and over do it this week just going stay steady and train comfortable did an easy  4.30 miles in 33m 12s and enjoyed it

any help is good help

Had a horrible day! bills I cannot afford and lots lots more problems result got too late evening and had not got out to run,but thought right let's get out and do something so did a night run did 4.31 miles in 31:29 feel so much better for it too confidence was so low before and was starting on one of my downward spirals with depression...I might not still feel amazing but feel a bit more able to cope and any help is good help

A  motivated day! I was more than due one not trained last 2 days as a mix of reasons mainly could not get my head into it then had good therapy session yesterday, result today I wanted to train and run got to the gym as it pouring down decided to do an 8 miler and keep pace comfortable for the whole run started at 13km per hour pace then slowed down, ended up running the 8 miles in 1:02:17.

Yet the the best part was I enjoyed it as took pressure off by deciding pace would stay comfortable before the run,finished with a bit of weights and feel much more positive.

hope everyone else is having a good day and for those running have a good run too :)

Hello world well the bit that reads this anyway,today had big plans a long nice and slow run for stamina but...it did not happen had no sleep last night felt shattered today and nearly did nothing,then got to the evening and I really wanted finish the week off with a positive so got out and did a quick run again need stop worrying about the distance and time..the whole point of me running is to make me happier and feel more positive if worrying then defeating the object!

 so just went for  quick few miles did 3.4 miles in 25:42 but of more importance I enjoyed it even though slipped and twisted my ankle a bit (seems ok though) so in future note to self just do it to enjoy it.

Well today has been a mixed day had a few down days where did not train and was having bad day today but managed get myself to the gym,in the hope be around some positive people might help even though did not want be around people...ended up working pretty hard and ran  6.21 miles in 47:24 and then did a bit of weights circuit and a good cool down to stretch off on the cross trainer.does not make everything better but certainly does not make things worth and at least I accomplished something today which helps for tomorrow.

A run at the gym today did  4.01 miles in 30 mins the first 15 mins was at a better pace and felt good but then gradually pace slowed,want to be able maintain the pace as first 2 miles was about 7 min mile pace,but did the whole run feeling comfortable which is a massive improvement.focusing on running my miles comfortably at the moment and seeing what pace that brings.

finished off session with a bit of weights feeling much better today,glad to have some up days after last week.:)

I've really found this week difficult as hard to train when depression really kicks in,decided try finish the week off with something positive so got out for a run today.Had no energy and was worrying too much about time and results before the run...
So sat myself down and reminded myself it's the getting out and doing the run and trying enjoy it that's important,that is what is going help my state of mind and make life happier,need to stop adding pressure to myself and my running.

ended up running 5.8 miles in 47:31 but the important bit is I got out and run.
