After a week of good training, intervals, 2 x double runs to work and so on; the week has ended badly. A stomach complaint made me abandon my run home from work with just a couple of miles to go. A hasty phone call home to wife was made and I rested outside the 'Rose of Lancaster' pub. The run had started well 8:00 min/mile pace then 8:15 8:30 9:00 9:30 the last mile the urge to be sick unbearable. As I rested, Bryan Lawton our club chairman drove past, I was too ill at the time to respond with words!
Saturday morning I managed to roll out to Oldham parkrun and race direct a fun event!
It was a mental arithmetic exercise to sort the results as some tokens were handed out in a wrong order! After that it was back to bed for me.
When I woke on Sunday the stomach ache was still there and any hope of a 10 miler were gone.
As I write this blog, I contemplate ironing, stretching and a disappointing end to the week; I look forward to the Great North West Half marathon in two weeks... Gotta get a long run in before then!
