no running all week! every night i got back in the dark & cold & rain and... stayed in :( oh dear. and to add insult to apathy most nights i've seen keen fresh faced runners braving the conditions... personally i blame the new year and spring marathons, it'll never last, not that i'm bitter or anything.
by friday i still had a recovery plan for my 37mile week, 10miles on friday afternoon, the planned 20miles ish on saturday leaving 7 or so on sunday if i felt like it. by friday lunchtime it became obvious i was going to be stuck at work, screwing up that plan already.
nevertheless i managed to drag myself out of bed this morning to draycote water where i'll be racing in a few weeks time. i did four laps of this resevoir with the race organiser & anothe competitor, really struggled to settle into it for the first lap, felt better for the second, clung on for dear life on the third before finally losing the plot on the fourth!
disturbingly on the day it will be 7 laps and a bit, but then i have no intention of going as fast as we were initially today.
ah well, the mornings are getting lighter already, hopefully next week will be a bit more succesful than this week. I might manage another few miles tomorrow, but don't hold your collective breath.
