Today is the day that I go skiing. Or, given that the resort was closed last time I checked, it may be the day that I sit in a chalet and read books for a week! Really hoping my fitness is maintained while I'm away, and I don't get too carried away with Swiss chocolatiers.
Was pretty happy this morning. Went for a long run which, in my head, should have been about ten miles. I paced it really well, it felt really good, and most importantly mentally I made myself go out on my own and do it and stick with it and was ever mindful of keeping something back for later on. So I was very chuffed when I got home to find I'd done it in an hour and a half. Less chuffed when I put it into the computer and discovered it was only about 9 miles, was really hoping to hit double figures, but still 9 miles done comfortably is still an excellent run.
When I return from skiing we've got just one more week of training, then a week of eating right etc before the half so it was really important for me to notch up that run today. I was planning on taking my running gear with me abd fitting in a couple of shorter runs while away. However, having just packed and repacked four times, my running gear did not make the final cut of what went into the suitcase. Instead I decided to stick with things like warm layers, ski wear, boots, sleeping bag etc, things that are slightly more imperative in case the snow reappears.
I'm not anticipating having much internet access while away. And if I do it probably means that I have actually broken all my bones and have little other option to spend my time than in front of as computer. So assume that if you don't hear from me that's a good thing!
One final thing, buy your tickets for the fundraiser!!!! Available from the AFC Sudbury club shop/ Teresa while I'm away, or from me as soon as i get back :)
