Fear not avid blog followers, I have not over exerted myself so much that I have keeled over. I have been very busy personally and professionally and have just been doing a couple of runs a week and a gym session if I'm lucky. Last week I did three runs, two with other people which felt really good, and one on my own which I really struggled with. But I seemed to completely mess up my pacing, doing 7 miles in one hour five minutes, so no wonder I felt a bit ropey at the end. It is still the mental aspect I'm struggling with most. Fighting boredom and the want to give up even though I'm perfectly capable of keeping running. I've been reading some running mags and looking more at doing a proper warm up to prepare both physically and mentally.
This week sees me set off on my wonderful skiing adventure returning, hopefully, with nothing worse than dented pride. Before then I will be squeezing in a gym session, probably tomorrow after work, and a run on Wednesday morning. I am really hoping to push for ten miles Wednesday as when I come back from skiing it's then only 2 weeks until the half marathon and 10 weeks until the real thing. It still seems a daunting task but I'm convinced we'll get there.
However, just a push about the fundraiser. Please please come and invite absolutely anyone who you pass in the street. Friday 25th March, 7.30pm til late, disco, chip shop supper, dessert and games for £10 per head. Bargain and a great cause. However, the thing that will make it great is having friends, family, supporters, and anyone else who wants to part with a crisp ten pound note in exchange for a shiny ticket :)
