Here's my diary of Grizzly Cub training Twitter postings:
it's pretty straightforward: I copy the postings I make under my Twitter_id @dothillrunner and if I keep doing it, then I've got a training diary all the way up to the Grizzly (Cub) run.
#griztraining 39. Coughed festively round the Wrekin. Lurgy has taken its toll and I'm not as well as I thought I was when I set out :-)
#griztraining 38. An epic 10 miles round the Wrekin ends my best pure running mileage week for possibly 2 years. Feeling ok :-)
#griztraining 37. No posts for days! But in the meanwhile, lots of training & it's going well. Also managed to fit in run round Hyde Park.
#griztraining 37: Wrekin this morning. Cut the run short as we were both tired. Been a productive week though.
#griztraining 36: weekend arrives. 6 miles done this afternoon, in a cold Wintery wind. #brrr
#griztraining 35: hit the gym two days in a row. Working hard, improving and watching Big Bang Theory at same time :-)
#griztraining 34: yep it was better than yesterday. Quite a nice 10k run round the lanes. Cool - but still shorts weather.
#griztraining 33. I was right. I ached a lot on today's 4.5 mile amble in the sunshine. Hoping I'll feel a little better tomorrow :-)
#griztraining no.32. 8 mile slog, mud, sweat, hills of Ercall & Wrekin. Aching nicely now. Will be worse later on ;-)
#griztraining 31. Back out there. 7 miles round the lanes at Wrockwardine. Not so cold once you get going . #brr
#griztraining 30.. Well, hopefully that's the back of my worst cold for many a day. Back in the gym, running, biking & light weights :)
Cough, splutter. Well, maybe not too much coughing it hurts my sore throat ! #griztraining 29.
#griztraining 28. It's not going well. Knee injury has put me out for a few days. But hopefully back to it now :-)
#griztraining 27. 8 miles round town tonight, dodging from the bonfire night explosions #boomshaketheroom
#griztraining 26 out & round the Wrekin today, before the rain set in - and without making my knee any worse. Result :)
#griztraining 25. a quarter century. Back trouble eased but turned ankle and hurt knee on Wrekin. It's not easy :)
#griztraining 24 all gone pants. Back injury has knocked training a bit.
#griztraining 23 x2 training pbs this week - heading in right direction. Still struggling with stomach trouble though
#griztraining 22 tough 5 Monday then a bad encounter with a Pot Noodle left me sidelined :) . But... back on Wrekin this morning #mudfest
#griztraining 21 in the gym. Ooh I ache after yesterday's circuits :)
#griztraining 20. Happy 20th. 5km run and later on, circuits. I'm well tired tonight, but happy. But tomorrow...
#griztraining 19. 5.2 slow miles. Back is sore and I still feel about 75% well today.
#griztraining 18. 2 x 5km runs. Slow and painful. But I'm back!
#griztraining 17. A corner turned? 1hr 50m in the bike. Hopefully I'm on the long road back to fitness now. :))
#griztraining 16. Nothing - stomach quite bad today, But in my head, it was speedwork .
#griztraining 15 I fell off the ball today.
#griztraining 14. I have found the Swiss ball in the garage.
#griztraining 13 no training again. But I did enter the Four Villages Half Marathon today. #motivation
#griztraining 13. No training, still ill. But lots of reading up and planning my next move.
#griztraining 12. Becalmed. Ill. Determined to rise again.
#griztraining day 10-11. Nothing. I'll again :(
#griztraining day 9 - swim this am , then a bit of speedwork this pm. Better than I thought it would be. Warm out there - vest weather !
#griztraining Day 7 & 8; 40 hilly miles on the bike yesterday - hard (for me) run round Wrekin today. Nice tired feeling :)
#griztraining Day 5 (I think) 5 mile run. Can't feel legs. Not much of an advert for fitness in the over-50s :))
#griztraining day 4; back to running. Met proper runner while out. Nearly killed me trying to keep up. #overambitious
#griztraining day 4: a cold has now joined forces with the stomach ache. Things need to get sorted out :)
#griztraining Day 3. A day of sloth and stomach ache. Hopefully back to it today.
#griztraining day 1. 75 mins run. Day 2. Early swim, then bad stomach preventing further training. Rubbish start ...
