Weekly training diary. Happy.

Today is my rest day.. So I thought I'd put up my weekly mileage & training diary from my first week..

Monday  - rest day
Tuesday - x2 5k runs + 45mins personal training session
Weds    - x2 5k runs + 60mins ashtanga yoga
Thurs   - x2 5k runs + 60mins Pilates 
Friday  - 5k run 
Saturday- 12k run in 70mins + 75mins ashtanga yoga
Sunday  - 20k run in 2hours 
Total   - 67k's running 

I started running when I lived in NYC about 15 years ago. I got the bug by running around central park in the mornings, crashing into the crazies hanging near Harlem, they always made me smile, stuck in the 80's with their ghetto-blasters playing Huey Lewis & the news 'power of love' heckling me with their insanity, shouting "you got the power of love baby yeh!!" maybes they weren't so crazy after all, running makes me feel like I have got the power of love!

I ran my first & best timed fancy dressed marathon in Dublin in 2008. Pink wonder woman was my outfit & my pink cape with stars sure did give me super powers!! I wore a pink dance leotard, mini blue metallic shorts which I stuck silver stars on. I made shiny stretchy 
gold head & wrist bands, had a gold sequined belt & electric blue legwarmers. I ran my PB time of 3 hrs 58 mins. I was awed & inspired by the support I received from the crowd, little girls saying to their mums "she looks amazing" lots of cheering "go wonder woman" & 1 random shout "yeh flash Gordon!!" er, thanks Irish man! I have ran every marathon & ultra I have ever done with pink hair, & I think I 
always will...
