Queen of Marathons

How an overweight couch potato is going to haul her body around 26.2 miles of the Blackpool coastline in a mere 15 weeks time.

The holiday goes well

Today was the first training day of my "holiday" and it went well.

I got up reasonably early - 8:30am and had the usual porridge brekkie, tidied up a bit and headed straight for the gym.

I did 1 mile warm up in 12 mins then 4 sets of 10 minute miles with a 2 minute recovery in between and a final 12 minute mile jog at the end. I was starving and covered in sweat when I finished but glad that it went so well, especially on the back of a 18 miler only 2 days previously.

After showering and lunch I went for a spot of window shopping in town and ogled a few pretty skirts I fancy for my holiday in September (a real holiday in the sun for 2 weeks) I am doing my best to resist buying too many new things as I still want to shift another 7Ibs and I just know that the week before the holiday everything I have bought will appear in the sales anyway.

When I came home I chilled out with my new Nick Hornby book (first time I have ever read him actually and it's pretty good.) "A long way down".
