    took wed off and chilled out for a change.
    todays session was planned to be 5 x 1k and 10hill reps after.
    I ran the first 1k in 3.12 and the second against the wind in 3.17
    the 3rd was up a slight hill at the end and i was pushing it hard,
    i finished and went to look at my watch and i just blacked out.
    I tried to get to my knees but couldnt,feeling helpless i heard someone say ;;are you alright mate''???
    I had just started to come around but felt very light headed.
    fair play to this guy as he gave my some coca cola and thsi seemed to help.
    Suppose being a stupid runner i wanted to finish my session
    did the next 2 1k reps in 3.22 and 3.12.gave the hills a miss and a 3.5 cool down.
    some easy running over the next few days.

    Can't believe you continued with the session! Not sure it was a sane thing to do though...

    I think I'd black out if I ran those splits! Take it easy and listen to the body...

    Tonight was so nice out for running.I swapped my trainers as my Mizuno Ultimas have taken a hammering so back into the vomeros tonight.
    ran on the roads very steady and did 10miles in 63mins and 20seconds.
    run felt really good,was slightly out of my comfort zone in the last couple of miles.
    had one dizzy spell in work today but feeling good otherwise.
    Had loads of customers talk about hald marathons today and gace me a real buzz.

    decided to give the hill session a miss today as a couple of mates where running in the park.
    ran 9am 30mins=4miles
    ran 5.30pm 16 miles at 6.58 pace,first 8-10miles where at 7.15 pace so picked it up as the run went on.It bands little tight towards the end but felt really good otherwise.

    plenty of hailstones,i struggled from about 15mins into the leg.
    Suprised that my finishing time was 56mins,leg must have been alot shorter than last year.No run today but off work tommorow so gona try run the tiredness out of my legs and see how the groin feels.
