Month 6, day 4
i'm having a rest/break.
i've over done it a bit and am absolutly (sp?) and utterly knackered.
*oooops*
also getting a bit grumpy - which is NO fun for anyone!
so i've taken thursday off work, will go and get some new running shoes and then gently wear them in thurs/fri/sat with mabes a bit of a longer run on sunday.
will keep you all posted.
i hadn't really realised that my recovery and rest time is actually just as important as all the physical exercise i've been doing. my poor little body has started whimpering. i really do need to listen.
*****sigh*****

Month 6, day 2 - 28 days to the GSR
OMG - GSR is 28 days away...
had a fabulous w/e in london, didn't really do anything of note for of&h (saw ragtime at the landor theatre and the new grayson perry exhibition at the british museum) so decided i needed to go for a run when i got home this evening.
was out for just under 80mins, had a 3-4min break chatting to the lovely ally k by harbour lights and because it'd got dark i didnt do my usual run that pops me out by swac under the itchen bridge (bit dark and scary), instead i ran over the itchen bridge and back.
5.4miles
nice one!
