Run like the Wind…

Booked flights to Edinburgh last night!

Back to Chasers tonight – I haven’t been in over a month! One could say my training starts now… I’m not feeling 100% (sore throat) so I’m hoping to do a fairly easy Madam Tussuads run. I began doing some strength exercises last night – something which I need to  keep up throughout training to make sure my hips don’t play up.

I’ve decided to cut out useful recipes and stretch info etc from my backlist collection of runnersworld, and keep them in a folder. I am a full nerd.

Christmas day and I’m thinking about 2012 and how busy it’s going to be. Suddenly I remembered that I did say, just after my London 2010 debut, that I would do another Marathon in 2012 – The Olympic year. So, after hearing that a friend at running club had just entered Edinburgh, I thought, why the hell not, let’s add another project to 2012. So here I am, as before, logging my journey on a blog. I’m excited – but  a little worried. I remember all to clearly the roller coaster from week to week, the zombified state after those 20 milers… But to be honest, the excitement is winning at the moment – probably because I havent actually started training yet, and I’ve spent the last week eating and drinking non stop. (a little voice in my head telling me “it’s fine, you’ll be training for a Marathon soon..”). OK, I’ll go for a run tomorrow…
