I hope you are all well and that you have and still are enjoying the lovely sunshine. Last week there was no blog from me as I had nothing to write about as my whole family and I were ill which prevented me from training at all......
Anyhow this week I am back and under strict instructions by my virtual trainer to stick to short runs and not to do anything big as I should give my body the chance to recover from my viral infections.
I know most of you now think that I have not stuck to that but as a matter of fact I have. I did 2 interval training session, a magic mile and a 10k run. I have managed to improve my magic mile to 6:04min and improved my 10k time for this year to 44:34min. Nothing happened during my training runs so I wont bore you with those.
On Sunday I had the privilege to run the Sport Relief mile with my lovely wife Catherine, my 3yo daughter Evie and my 1yo son Fabian (on my back).
It was a lovely experience running with my whole family as I have never done that before and now can't wait for my little treasures to get bigger so that we can try and join our local parkrun in Abingdon.
I am very impressed with my wife as she doesn't run and she did really well, Fabian enjoyed himself on my back and kept either giggling or trying to fall asleep but I am extremely proud of my little girl Evie who did not stop moving at all and ran probably for 80 odd percent of the way. We had a great time together as a family and she said that she is running for the poorly children. ( I am very proud of her!!!)
Below are some pictures of my family and me sadly some pics did not upload properly....
