Turns out that my blog's not very interesting. I find this surprising. I thought you'd be really excited about me doing the same runs over and over again. What could be boring about that?!
So here's a hilarious story for you. Last Sunday, I ran down to Battersea. On my way back, I was being followed. Upon reaching Westminster, I confronted my follower and it turned out that she was running to Tower Bridge too. We crossed the river at different points though so got to wave at each other later on. Oh, how we laughed.
Run 1: 6,110m to Blackfriars Bridge. Again.
Run 2: 11,130m around Southbourne, Boscombe and Bournemouth. Lots of hills for me today to toughen up those piddly legs of mine.
Run 3: 13,790m down past Bournemouth some of which was on the sand to make me even more tired.
31,030m this week bringing us to an exciting running total of 163,550m.

Week 3 - Over 10% done!
3 weeks in and it's been a good one! For the first time, I've followed every run on my training programme and am well and truly exhausted!!
So this week.
Run 1: 6,160m, it's the Blackfriars Bridge run again.
Run 2: 12,900m, a slightly longer one down to Vauxhall Bridge. Quite a good run this one!
Run 3: 12,810m. The same run down to Vauxhall Bridge.
Run 4: 6,090m, BlackFriars Bridge again.
Run 5: 19,760m. The long one! From Tower Bridge all the way down to Alberts Bridge. A lovely run in parts. Not so much in other parts.
57,720m in total this week which brings me to a running total of... 132,520m.
Is there a chance I'll do 2 million metres?!

The curse of the booze!
Well, it's been a reasonable running week but due to poor discipline and a home time of 4am this morning, today's 2 hour run was sacrificed. Will I learn from this? I certainly hope so, I feel rubbish today!
But I did manage 4 runs this week...
Run 1: 17,570m - Another one along the sea front from Christchurch beyond Bournemouth and back again.
Run 2: 9,190m - The classic blackfriars bridge.
Run 3: 11,260m - A longer one down to Lambeth bridge. I beat my personal best on this run by over 2 minutes :-)
Run 4: 6,500m - The blackfriars bridge again, it just shows how random my running app can be sometimes! Although I did have to take a detour because they closed part of the riverside!
So in total, 44,520m this week... a pretty good total (although it should have been so many more)!
Running Total: 74,800m

We're off and running
It's cold. It's windy. And it's dark. Needless to say, motivation to get out there and run isn't at its peak! Is there any weather more annoying and pointless than wind?! But we're off.
Run 1: 16,440m around Hengitsbury Head, down to Boscombe and then home.
Run 2: 6,110m circular route from Tower Bridge down to Blafriars Bridge - A run we'll see repeated numerous times (probably with different distances).
Run 3: 7,730m of Kenyan Hill training up and down one of the many hills along the seafront between Southbourne and Boscombe.
Running Total: 30,280m.
Not only has the running begun, the sponsorship has too so thank you all for your support so far - We're up to a grand old total of £95 for the Oxford Transplant Foundation. I've set a target of £2,000 which will hopefully make a huge difference.
