Learning to Run

The Longest Day

I had a lazy weekend, apart from swimming, because the weather was gorgeous. So feeling all guilty I hit the gym last night, even though I didn't get out of the office till after 6pm. I ran 4.2km but I think I could've done more, I was just worried about getting home for tea :) Then I walked to 4.5km.

I rested today, my legs couldn't run if they tried, and I'm going to do 4km tomorrow, with an option to go on to 5km if I feel like I can. I'm happy with how it's going but that 21km seems a long way off, at the moment even 6km doesn't seem at all possible.

I added a new ticker bar to spur me on a little bit.

I think my scales could be broken (a really obvious cop-out I know!) because I somehow managed to put on a mysterious 4lb last week despite eating salads at the hotel for every meal, and I was running more as well. Unless I'm building muscle. Really weird. Anyway, whatever, it's made me feel bad so I'm trying really hard now to shift it.

Now I must go watch the England game. Early night tonight (9pm) as I am going to get up at 3am and pop up to Stonehenge for the sunrise :) it will be my first Solstice since moving here, how totally fabulous. I'm such a lazy cow though I bet you anything I just turn over in bed and miss it. Longest Day tomorrow, my favourite day of the whole wide year.
