Training for week commencing 29/05/2005

After last weeks poor show I struggled to break out of my new found sloth like attitude. However, by Saturday, I realised I needed to break this attitude, so got a 6.2km run in... but had I spent to much time sitting on the couch?

6.2km
04/06 - 28:46

Now I've had stitches before, but the one I had on this run really felt as if someone had stabbed me just under the ribs on my right hand side with a knife! I ended upp bent double at one point whilst people drove past in there cars (most probably laughing)! I ended up having to walk for a bit, and once I remembered the breathing technique I'd read about on the web, it soon went away and I carried on running again. The time wasn't great, but interestingly, it was still better than some of my earlier ones even with walking!

The total distance I've now run in training is 200.4km, which is equivalent to running from Stockport to Durham as the car drives!
