Not enough mileage..
Tuesday - 2km swim including drills with ELT (this feels a lot easier now my swimming is getting better)
Wednesday - Gym at lunch. 15 min bike and only a 4.5 km treadmill - all I could fit in!!
Thursday - 10.25k at lunch
It's looking like a seriously light week. Need to do another 25 miles before Monday to stay on track.!

Brighton Half Marathon
Went home to see Mum and Dad on Friday and did a lot of looking at old photos and sleeping seeing as the cold was keeping me up half the night.. Dad gave me a lift down to Brighton on Sunday and I had a massage before the race - which was absolutely incredible. Without any prompting she found the hamstring strain and made it feel a lot better. Didn't manage to meet up with Matty pre-race as and we missed each other while running unfortunately, its always difficult when theres 7500 people in one place... For the first 30 minutes of the race I felt like I was running on air because of the massage and managed to get round in a respectable 1.29.25 - however it has transpired that the race distance was incorrectly marked at 13.42 miles so the time was revised to 1:27:16, which was nice. Matty was chuffed with his time (1:39:19) also and we grabbed a post race coffee on the beach with Rebecca and their younglings George and Phoebe. Absolutely glorious day albeit a bit cold early in the morning!
