I am behind, but the plan is to run extra over the two week Easter break so that I can get on top of it again. I haven't been ahead of schedule since February 11th! I should pass 250miles by Tuesday though

Week 12 - 22.57miles

Sunday - 8.31 - a run from my house to Portsmouth to collect my car after a night out. I did this same run about 6 weeks ago but today I was 3 minutes quicker

Wednesday - 3.71miles - normal before school loop

Thursday - 3.75miles - same loop but the other way round. i don't like going this way as there is a large hill to start off with! But I did manage to do it in under 9minute miles

Saturday - 6.8miles - an evening run. I'm starting to enjoy running in the evenings. This was also done in just under 9minute miles!

Currently 15miles behind schedule

Home to Venice? I'm running past Aix-Noulette...which is just outside Lens

This week saw my second half-marathon and my time was fairly simialr to the first but I felt much worse during it! The weather was warm and it was much tougher!

Sunday - 13.57miles

Monday - 3.11miles - needed to do a slow run to stretch out a bit. 

Thursday - 5.4miles

Total so far: 192.23miles

12.52miles behind schedule

Home to Venice...a small French town called Blessy

Week 9 - 18.07 miles

I'm changing to writing weekly updates as I think it'll be more manageable! 

Anyway, this week was my birthday week so I wasn't going to run quite as much as I should've, plus I spent Saturday in Middlesbrough so Sunday was very much about chilling out!

Monday - 5.3 miles - PPA time Monday am so chance for a bit of a longer one

Tuesday - 3.7 miles

Thursday - 3.7 miles

Saturday - 5.37miles. 

 

2012 Total so far: 161.12miles

Where am I? In my run to Venice, I have just arrived in Calais. The next big stop is Saint-Quentin but that's another 100 miles away yet...
