After managing just a couple of runs last week, and although I had good intentions for running on the weekend, I found some “other things” to entertain myself with. This, unfortunatly, meant that I had way too much to drink on Friday, ate way too much pizza and chinese on Saturday and generally slobbed about eating “left over” chinese and tons of chocky on Sunday.. Which all in all means that I really need to be sorting myself out and taking this a little more seriously.
I also spoke with Peaky on Saturday, just as the massive chinese arrived – with my chicken balls, satay skewers, beef and black pepper and singapore rice, and he let slip that he had run a little in the day – his “little” being 15miles – swine. Peaky, along with GD are going to be accompaning me on the marathon, the only ones who have agreed to show me up.
Ok, here we go for the real thing – week 1 – went out this afternoon at around half four just as it was getting dark, and did around 1.2 miles – thats all!!!! – Just talking to the Mrs and she said that she used to run 4.5 miles around here “easily” … Don’t I feel like a fat lazy get.. ;o) So plan is to be able to run 3 mile by Sunday.. hmmm.
Oh yeah, and I also got my first pathetic little blister today, on the walk down to the start point, on the blumming walk down to the start of the run – sometimes I think perhaps I should stick to watching telly.
So stats as its week 1.
BP – 125/80, 12st 3, pulse 66
