What: Legs stil knackered from Sunday when I over did it! Shame actually, thee club's doing 8 miles over Epsom Downs which sounds good.

Should make it out the door tomorrow if the blood content of my alcohol stream gets high enough!

HMG - going running in this weather (and a lot worse!) is pretty much necessary in this country if you're training for a spring marathon or something. It gets a lot worse than this!!

What: Vacuuming, dusting, cleaning bathroom, washing kitchen floor. Will try to fit a resistance session in somewhere (probably the living room)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Went out for a 20 mile run.

Only got 200 yards. It's hard to run with a chimp on your back all the time!

Maybe try again later.

Morning all
Damp & dull, but lovely and mild here.

Sleep disturbed again last night as I got a call from work at 00:20. Partially made up for it this morning.

Hence:
What: Depends on how I feel, but either
9.3K at intended Helsby race pace (6:24 per mile)
or my 10.3K course at same pace if I'm feeling good
or 3 x 2 miles at 6:20 pace off 3 minute or 1/3 mile jogged recoveries.

Why: Don't know how I'll feel after the weekend efforts (though stiffness from Sun has gone). If I do the latter (round a circuit which stays close to home), I'll be able to back off (leave out a rep) if I find it too hard.

Last hard days: Sun, Fri
Last rest days: Mon, Sat

Merry Xmas Wolfy, and everyone else.

Runner - a well aimed blow to the nethers will get rid of that chimp, but maybe you should use him for a bit of resistance training.

What: Today I will need a LOOOONNNNGG run. Mum is here for Xmas, and is driving me nuts already. I've only been at work for 2 hours and she's phoned twice already (I don't NEED to know the window cleaner is here!) and spent last night following me from room to room.

Why: To maintain sanity and Christmas spirit.

Planning to run every day until coming back to work on 6th January.
