Next Sunday I am taking part in the Taunton 10K race.
In recent months I have been running almost every other day or so.
I have been increasing my distances up to 15K.
I have only run once in the past fortnight due to work.
This morning I ran just over 10K and it was the worst run I have ever done. During the middle third I felt physically sick and was desperate for someone I knew to drive by me and give me a lift home.
I was planning to run twice this coming week, but should I?
How many times should I run?
When should I run?
How far should I run?
If you can advise me I would be very grateful.
Thank you.

Autumn Attire
Sadly I reverted to my winter running kit for this morning's early outing with Ali. My shoulders and legs will soon return to their usual shade of uninteresting pale. I even wore my jacket and my feet got wet.
Hopefully I shall get home from work a couple of times next week in time to get out in the last sunshine of the day should we be lucky enough to have just a little bit more. I'm actually not done with summer yet. Misty mornings are beautiful but it will only take about another week before all my cardigans are piled up on my desk chair. Nor am I ready to relight the Aga, we're still sleeping with the window wide open (blessed power surges) but it's getting tricky to know what to wear as once out of bed the house feels a tad chilly.
The Taunton 10K is fast approaching, I'm doing some good distance as I'm trying to make the race distance seem easier but my pace is terrible, if I go any slower I'll have to do the course in reverse! Never mind, getting out there is the important bit.
This working week has quite frankly been manic. Yesterday I didn't sit at my PC to start my planned work until almost midday. By the time I had sorted all the left over problems from the day before and then the new problems from that morning and walked the length of the school goodness knows how many times I was exhausted. I ploughed on planning to keep going until 'the pile' had at least been sorted. However my darling DiL texted to ask if I would be home straight after work. You bet I would, computer off, paperwork forgotten, woosh bang I was outta there.
A three hour cuddle with my baby granddaughter Sophia and a Smarties McFlurry, what a way to start the weekend.
Have a good one x
