Run Yank Run 041: New Home!

03/14/11 • -1 min

This episode was recorded during a 10 mile Sunday long run.
Big News! I finally moved into a place of my own. It's a one bedroom flat on the Chiswick High Street and I couldn't be happier.
Work, life, and finding and moving into an apartment have eaten into running since the previous podcast, but now that things have settled I am looking forward to running more consistently.
In preparation (and wishful thinking) for warmer months ahead I invested in the Inov-8 H2Orizontal 2L Hydration bladder that is made to fit the Inov-8 Race Pro running rucksacks. This was my trial run with it and I love how the water bladder ride low in the small of my back. Felt very balanced and I forgot it was in there!You can find me on:Email: [email protected]Twitter: pabrelatFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/pabrelatDailymile: http://www.dailymile.com/people/pabrelatBlog: http://runyankrun.blogspot.com/

Run Yank Run 042: Good Week

Hiya, I am writing this post by candlelight at a pub on the Chiswick High Street on a Sunday evening. My well-deserved pint is next to me and I am taking advantage of the free broadband (with purchase). Still no internet connection at the apartment (will take an additional 7-14 days!!!!) but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?
It's been a good week for running. I logged 41 miles this week. My legs are feeling it now, but in a good way. Yesterday I went for a 15 mile run along the south bank of the Thames from Kew to Waterloo. Here's a map of the route:
It wasnt fast but I made to keep my average heartrate at 160. By the end my legs were pretty tired, proving I have a long way to go to get back to marathon fitness, but I didn't die and the next day (today) I went for a 6 mile recovery run during which I recorded this episode.
In short, life is good. The sun is shining, the trees and flowers are blooming, and Spring is finally here!
