Gym training - running

Gym training is going well, but still struggling with the ankle. I was suppose to do a 3 mile run for Nike yesterday but this was a round a track and I am the slowest person to run in the world, when you run around the roads no one knows if you are last but on a track they can see.

Added to this I have only just started running again after suffering injuries this year and so not really up to running against others, so with my friend who also is not in to track running we want for a 5 mile run, that was good and I am glad we did. I want to try to do the wirral 6 miles and that is where I want to put my focus , my training.

I watched Mo running his race on Saturday so amazing, watching the closing ceremony yesterday for the olympics brought tears to the eyes we have some amazing sportspeople and if there is something you can learn from them is that it takes a lot of hard work and determination but you can achieve your dreams. I know even though I am not a sportperson that last year to run the Liverpool full marathon took a lot of work by myself amd my Personal Trainer but I did acchieve that goal.  The hard thing to do is what do you do next when you have been so focused on that goal and than you have done it. This year its been a lot harder as the injuries have prevented any further running in marathons, but we have worked towards new goals. Steve has steered the training towards developing strength and this is working.
