March - Action packed!

Hello

Sorry for the slow post on this one. This month was always going to be a hard one as so many of the weekends I had things on, and weekends are prime training days for the longer runs. Much to my surprise though I managed to get a grand total of 12 runs in. However first the more exciting things. My friend Alice from Uni who now lives in Mexico popped over to the UK to have a blessing ceremony for her recent marriage to Hiro. This took place on St Patrick's day hence the great picture of Alice at the party afterwards. It was great to catch up with people and thoroughly enjoyable!

The following weekend I went up to Bonny Scotland to see both my Scottish cousins (Stephen & Judith) as it was Stephen's 21st birthday and another friend from Uni (Jemma). Aberdeen was great and Glasgow was full of surprises as I found out it had an underground especially designed for small people (or wee people in Scottish)

For the final weekend Stephen came down to visit me as he wanted to see a Bolton match and it was his Uni Holidays. We managed to see the mighty mighty Bolton wanderers make a bit of a meal of the game, but eventually win 1-0 against Sheffield United! Lot's of excitement as we were sat near the away fans so lots of "friendly" words flowed between the empty 8 seats separating us!

Back to the training though, a good month and I managed to get three Eminem (8 mile) runs in
6.2km
03/03 - 31:20
10/03 - 27:57
15/03 - 28:59

10km
02/03 - 53:26
05/03 - 51:21
06/03 - 52:20
09/09 - 53:34
25/03 - 49:39
28/03 - 50:32

13km (8 miles)
11/03 - 1:03:05
13/03 - 1:03:10
19/03 - 1:00:19

Anyway, next month I'm hoping to get a few cross country runs in to try and reduce the pressure on my knees. There's no trouble with them currently but I don't want to wait till there is so it would be great to run on some soft turf :) I've bought an OS map centred on South Stockport so in theory I should know where all the public footpaths are!

Cheers
