A quiet week due to last weekends run. Monday i had painful knees and right ankel (which i twisted badly last year), so i decided to have an easy week training. I managed to get to the gym twice with a 4 km run on Tuesday and then on Wednesday i managed a 5 km run, a 10 minute hard workout on the cross trainer and finaly a 1 km fast run. I also had a nice early moring run at the 'sope' which was around 6-7 Km. It was nice and cool morning so finished my run with a lap of the lake.

This week i am going to focus on running my target training distances with some addition speed or hill work as my ankle and knees are now fine. This is also the last week of my English course so i can get some extra training in on Saturday mornings.

The other thing i am going to do is work on my diet some more. Last weeksaw me slip and i found myself eating the things i should not be. Even though i am now down to 106.7 Kg in weight i think this could be much better. Ideally i will be around the 90Kg for my next half marathon on the 23rd August 2009. I am hoping to improve on my last run by at least 22mins which will give me a time of under 2:15.
