Running, barfing and writing

A post with running in it! Despite committing myself to writing 50,000 words this month I've managed to devise a kind of plan to move this running malarky up a gear. Thanks to the helpful comments of my nearest and dearest (and the RW forum) that I 'need to run faster' I've added speed sessions to my training. Even just writing that makes me feel more like a runner!

Basically I jog a mile as a warm up then run 1 minute as fast as my legs and lungs will allow. Once I've got my breath back I repeat the fast 1 min. I repeat the previous sequence until barfing point and then attempt another jogged mile before collapsing in the car. I'm hoping to be able to repeat more than 3 times before reaching barfing point very soon!

Number of words written so far? Just over 2000. But I've got my plot written out and each chapter is planned. Just need the time to actually to write.

Planning? Get a move on woman. I'm at 9,500 words and don't have a clue where I'm going. I recognise a few of the characters though!

Wow its reps now is it? Nothing better for reaching that barfing point in the shortest possible time. V difficult to do alone,so well done.
