Another 4 miles
Woke up this morning with no pain! Wayhey!!
A good thing too as it was a 4mile "easy" (hah that's a lie cos it's never, ever easy!) jog according to the training plan today.
Despite the fact it had been a lovely day all day while I was out at work the minute I went upstairs to get ready for the run it started to rain. Which for some would be a reason to put it off for another day but not for me because I am a Marathoner and I love to run! Especially in the rain (I already admitted I am mad!) the rain is great to run in as it's so much quieter and almost surreal to watch, admittedly I always put on my light waterproof and a baseball cap to keep the rain off my face so I can see clearly but I always look at it like this - if this was race day and the weather was like this would I still run? The answer is always yes, of course I would.
The only things that have upset the training plan are severe ice on the roads or gale force winds which we had earlier in the year. I did actually attempt it once during the high winds and made almost 1 mile out before it got the better of me and I gave up and went to the gym for cross training instead. I always ensure if I can't get out then I cross train, it's not quite the same but it's good enough for those odd days.
So after a blissful 4miles in 43mins I had a shower, got cosy in my dressing gown and settled down with a cup of hot choclate and watched Comic relief does fame accademy which I had videoed earlier - what a stormer of a show it was tonight, emotions are running pretty damned high at the moment and there were many outbursts from the judges and contestants - very entertaining. I'm now voting for Reggie as I always back the underdog.
Got a hard run tomorrow but then 2 days rest after that so I can afford to give it my all and then enjoy a glass of wine and a choccy bar.
