My First Runs With Lisa

Monday 26/4/10, Lisa and I ran up the GR10 and we did it all. I had pushed myself hard and felt quite wiped out at the end. On Wednesday Lisa cycled up to S. Espiritu with Steve and we then ran the Penya de Quita. It was great but the weather was quite hot and I again felt really wiped out. Without that commitment I wouldn´t have done two hard runs as I am now. Anyway it was very interesting and good for me. Lisa seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully we´ll get to run together quite a bit. The heat could play a part !

Up the Cross, Thursday 22/4/10

Up the cross, my old faithful. 45 minutes and I get a good hit of the mountains. Did fine, though not as good as it could be. Going past Elena´s house I felt tierd, but I had run fast down the camino. On Monday I´m running with Lisa for the first time. On Wednesday she cycled with Steve. I´m aiming to do the GR10 if she is bursting with energy I could send her up the cross as well. On May 1st There´s a 16.5 KM run. Can I do it ? Have before.

Didn´t do it

Didn´t do a little run. It is my night tonight and it is raining so we´ll see. If it´s fine I´ll do Penya de quita and then if ti rains monastery or cross. Trying to sort IKEA trip. Kids need to be looked after.

Yes I have been running

Yes I have been running, but not as dedicated as I should have. I´m happy with last night as I did get out. OK so it was only around the block, Terry, past Alberto´s and down the hill. I did this twice, which was 30 mins.

I´m going to try and do a 20 min run tonight

Have been out a reasonable amount. Just not documented it. Out today. GR10 with Pico de Aguila. Didn´t feel amazing, but this is my second run since skiing. Did the cross on Monday. Soon, after Easter am meant to be going with Lisa.

GR10

ran up Gr10. Felt bad going up because I was thinking about running with Lisa and the pressure was making me feel like hyperventilating. I´m sure my heart was going wild. Anyhow the good news is, I ran along and down very well indeed and felt good.


On Thur. the day when Lisa was meant to run with me she couldn´t and so I didn´t go again, as it was very windy. But feel very enthused and want to do a good run at the weekend. Maybe Mola de Segart. If I keep mtyself syked up. Got to focus on it.


Feel really good. End of March got the Vall D´uxo run 13 km hi8ll running. I hope Steve will come.

My first 10 KM, Pedralba

54 mins and 30 secs. Quite pleased as I didn´t feel great at start. But after the ups there were, naturally, a few downs. And at 8 km I started to speed up and except for an up in the village I was running at a good speed. Hopefully will do it next year and will shave off a few minutes.

I was pleased after about 8 km !!

Next race 28th March Vall dÚxo. Hopefully Steve will come.
