Race For Life .... 48hrs to go!

Hey, 

So its 48hrs until my Race for Life 5k!! I'm a little bit nervous ... I'd like to be able to a) run at least 60% of it b) finish in an ok time. 

First the bad news: I woke up this morning with a blocked nose and mega sore throat!! I think I have picked up a cold of someone damn it, knew I felt off the last few days ... bit tired not enough energy. I put it down to the training and thought I wasn't eating enough, turns out it might be this. So tomorrow I will be eating throat lozenges like they are going out of fashion, dosing up on vitamin C and giving my throat a good spray with the Covonia. 

Other potentially bad news is that summer has decided to turn up just in time for us to run. Now when fiancé did his 10k Blaydon Race in the sun the other month he said it was mega hard as the heat just starts to get to you and you cant cool down. I'm hoping there will at least be a breeze as our gym has been really warm the last few sessions and it really is a lot harder when your overheating anyway. 

Well moving on from that ... today was my last gym session before the big day!!  

I decided to keep it easy today, 20 mins on the cross trainer, 5 minute up hill walk and a 5 minute jog for cardio then just some back, legs and stomach work on the machines. Kept it simple on the cardio to make sure I have enough energy for Sunday, and because I am going for an 8 mile bike ride tomorrow to keep fiancé company on his run eek ... glad I'm the one on the bike.  

Post Gym Session - bit warm!

Other then the training I am all ready for the fun part of the race - I've got my bright pink adidas top, my running leggings have pink accents on them, you can see the pink on my trainers and my arm band then I even got a bright pink running jacket just in case it was raining so I am fully kitted out in pink!!

Anyway this is just a short one ... I will post more after the race but it might take me a little while. See after the race I will be driving down south for our weeks holiday ... for that I hope the weather does stay warm hehe
