I'm absolutely shattered tonight and have realised I'm going to have to amend my perhaps over ambitious training. If only I didn't live in EcclesHILL, I'm sure life and running, in particular, would be much easier!
Tonight was the first session of marathon school - or the 'slow twitchers' which I think is our official name. I'm hoping this weekly two hour session is going to whip me into shape ready for the marathon. Tonight, we did a 5k time trial and I was dismayed to realise I'm actually a minute slower than I was when I last did a time trial in May last year (27.35 compared to a PB of 26.25). I'm putting it down to a week of tough training...
Monday I was thinking of an easy run but Lisa had other ideas (I'm so thankful to her for organising me!), and we ended up doing 4.5 miles which included the dreaded hill that is King Lane. What really did for me though was Wednesday's 8.5 mile run out to Saltaire and back to Idle - my legs were like lead for that entire run and I've felt drained all day.
So...I'm going to rest tomorrow night instead of going to running club, in the hope that I'll be fit for boot camp on Saturday morning.
This Sunday, I'm running the Brass Monkey half marathon in York as I've now managed to get a number from someone who has dropped out. It's definitely going to be more of a training run that a race though - at the moment I'm not sure my legs will even get me round.
Three sleeps before then though...
