Well…. yesterday I was supposed to run 45 minutes and today I was supposed to run 35 minutes Easy. Not sure why but I thought the plan today was 25 minutes Easy! I finally head out of the door and go for a run outside rather than running on the treadmill. It took me forever to get out tonight after work as my legs are tired from 4 squash matches yesterday and from being at work…. Plus I got bitten on my arm on my way home from work and now it is all red and itchy…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh the excuses have arrived but hey at least I am getting out of the door. So in my head I think… I will do the 45 minutes.. I am out so why not. This quickly changed to OMG… This is such hard work. How on earth am I going to manage running for such a long time. Calm down Louise.. You have done it once you can do it again.. Plus you haven’t even started your marathon training yet… this is just pre-marathon training! Everyone is at different stages along the journey to Marathon Day. So just go at your own pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jorge has come running with me again tonight. It is great having him run alongside me but sometimes it is difficult when you both have different strategies for running but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Note to self:- if you are going to run outdoors… have a rough idea of a plan as to where you are going to run! I miss running in Herne Bay. It was so nice running along the beach or the local streets and parks as I knew the area and where the major hills were.. In Croydon I have no idea. One minute, I am running through a nice park and then along quiet residential roads and then boom I am on the main road with blinking car fumes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My legs are really achy and I appear to be super unfit!! I can’t stop scratching my arm either from where I was bitten. It is now really hot to touch and getting redder… That’s not because the rest of my body is hot this is hot on a whole new level. God.. I am only 22 minutes in and I am like can I go home now? There is no way I am running for 45 minutes… So I tell myself just do 25 and then you can stop. I am a bit gutted as I stopped just short of 30 minutes and I did feel good as I thought I had run more than the 25 minutes I thought I had to run today as my choices were either 45 or 25! But whoopsie… If I wasn’t going to do the 45 minute run that I was supposed to do yesterday then I would do today’s run… but alas it was supposed to be 35 minutes rather than 25. I still had to walk for ages home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
