As for running, I started off slowly, with a few extra rest days over the May Bank Holiday, but started to build it up again in the last 2 weeks.
At the start of the month I did the Hampshire 10K in Portsmouth (when it was still cold and rainy), and banged out a great new PB. I also did one Parkrun, but ran it as an easy training run rather than a race.
Then it got hot and I managed to get sunburnt while cycling to the beach. On that bike ride I came up with a great idea - how to stop your Garmin getting sweaty and leaving a tan-line on your wrist:
The numbers aren't too impressive overall, but the PB was the main goal:
Ran 14 times = 72.2 miles
Cycled 3 times = 37.5 miles
1 race
1 PB
This weekend I've got a race, as jubilee fever hits the UK and we get a double Bank Holiday. It's a 5-miler, accompanied by children's races, music and food stalls. I'm doing it for fun, rather than with any time goal in mind. It's also Half Term next week, which leaves me with 9 consecutive days of having the kids around - hopefully I'll sneak some running in somewhere.
A good month, indeed. I do hope summer returns for us both. It was beautiful here in mid-May now rainy on June 1.
ReplyDeleteA great month for you, nice!!
ReplyDeleteSummer has definitely hit Colorado, suppose to be 92 degrees tomorrow. Yuck!
Have a great time at the race!
What an exciting weekend you Poms are going to have. We keep seeing snippets on the news. And in a couple of months you've got the Olympics as well. I'm a little jealous.
ReplyDeleteWell done on such a good month. And have a good race/run.
You had a great month! And hope the race goes well this weekend - my husband was in London last week and he said things were really hectic with the upcoming jubilee.
ReplyDeleteOh and, be sure and let me know if you ever do get to Brussels - I'd definitely come in and meet you for lunch (or a run)!
