Run like the Wind…

Yesterday I tried Hugh’s recipe. He called for a 20x20cm tin, I used a muffin case instead. I think I can say they are pretty, pretty, pretty good. A little moorish which is dangerous, and the amount of sugar that went in was a little frightening. I think if I do them again, I’ll play with the ingredients a bit, and reduce the sugar – the honey that goes in should be enough. I added dates as my the dried fruit element, with a few mixed seeds.

I was up at 7 to eat my porridge, then back to bed for a couple of hours before my long run. I ate one of these just before I set off – perfect.

I’m trying to get in the habit of completing my long run routine in the same time frame as I will on marathon day. I’m not sure I’ll be going back to bed after breakfast though….

Up early to fit in my long run today. Decided on my trail shoes in case I encountered any ice amongst the snow. I always encounter some strange looks when I run out in ‘adverse’ weather conditions. I guess people imagine it’s too dangerous. However I always feel its not too bad! Snow when its powdery isn’t slippery at all – so with a bit of dodging and a bit of hopping  all you get is wet feet.
