The beast settles in...and drinks all the milk.

Today is a rest day and it could not have been better placed. All public transport is cancelled due to Snowmageddon so it's a walk to work.  It was "challenging" albeit ridiculously gorgeous.

Back to Runch

40 minutes It's Tuesday and I'm going to get back on the training schedule. 40 minutes at lunchtime. It's cold. It's frosty AF, but I get my carcass out there. It was NOT pretty, I appear to have turned into a snot monster, but I did it, so snotty smiles all round :)

The 0545 am alarm

Image
50 minutes:  https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/2427908960 It was set with the best of best intentions. After Tuesday's horrible lunchtime experience, I thought I'd try something different. Get my arse out of bed and get out the door. Have all the training done before I even get showered and dressed for work. I had all my kit set out and ready to go, so I didn't even have to think about it in the morning. An excellent plan, that. Some may even go so far as to say a "cunning plan". I congratulated myself on my genius and waddled off to bed with a cup of peppermint tea and my copy of "I'm Not With the Band: A Writer's Life Lost in Music" by Sylvia Patterson , which is absolutely brilliant.

26.2 miles in 5 hrs 37 minutes and 26 seconds It's a funny thing, this marathon lark. After 4 months of training (including 3 weeks of taper, in which I appeared to have completely forgotten what the whole concept of running was all about) I woke up on the morning of the 22nd of April 2018 calmer than I have ever felt before. The thunder storm that woke me up at 1am, wasn't a great deal of fun, but we'll gloss over that. But I was calm. Centred, even. Yeah, I know, weird AF. I'm about to embark on the longest distance I've ever run in the hottest temperatures on record - I should be worried. I've trained in blizzards and ice and wind and rain, with the very  occasional sunny spell, but, unsurprisingly, Scottish weather has not brought me anywhere close to 24 degrees. IKR. I'm as surprised as you are. Anyway, the night before we had gone to Wagamamas and I carb loaded so hard on ramen that I thought I was going to explode. James, Calum and I m...
