About two weeks ago, I started really well. I reviewed my previous blogs and felt smug that I could avoid the pitfalls of the previous marathon training. Because I am older. And, of course, much much wiser 🙄
So, I began. I ate well. I planned my training. And for 6 days, I was calm and in control. Then, one day, I ate a Ripple. The next day I ate some other stuff that will not remotely help me in my training. And so the story of Sue, the very hungry marathoner, began again. Blah blah blah. I'm as bored of these eating issues as you, the reader, are.
So it's been up and down. Training has been ok. Not a lot of running yet, but swimming, aqua fit, gym and cycling. Still need to drop some serious chunk and make good fuelling choices. I'm looking forward to getting some new running shoes in the New Year, thanks to a Christmas contribution from the bank of dad. And I need to get soooo much stronger at carving out time for me, for training, and seeing that as a priority rather than at the bottom of the list behind everyone else's needs.
There's still a long way ahead but I'm hoping to start a 16 week training plan at the beginning of Feb. Which is actually not that far away.
I really want to do this. But I think the illusion of 'I've done one before so it'll probably be ok' has very quickly been exposed for the tripe that it is 🤷♀️
My running partner however, is already running 15 miles. Still not sure if we're running together or rendezvous at the end. Oh Sue, what have you done?! 😂
