I've finally made it out for a morning run after weeks of darkness! Getting out of the house running at 630:am or even 7:00am is one thing but motivating yourself to do it in the dark and cold is another. The cold I really don't mind so much, but actually getting up in the dark is a challenge all on it's own for me let alone the running...
Anyway, you might appreciate just how glad I was to see that's light at 6:30am now!
This morning I decided to have a speedwork session for 40 minutes, easy jog down to the park followed by multiple laps of the various paths around the park at full tilt. It's a real killer first thing in the morning and it never fails to amuse me when I stop to stretch and I'm engulfed in a cloud of steam from my own efforts!
It's good to see all the dog walkers again too, I'm sure they all think I'm mad. They're having a lovely early morning walk, some gentle exercise for them and the dog and there's this mad bloke hurtling around the park.
Top marks to the guy that told me I'd started training too early for the Olympics!!
What's this blog all about?
You may already know that I'm a keen road runner, and that I ran the Flora London Marathon in 2007 and raised £3300 for Macmillan Cancer Care... this year decided to try once again to get a place in the Flora London Marathon.
In late November I was stunned to receive notification that I had been accepted for a ballot place, a 2008 London Marathon place was now assured.
I created this blog just to keep a record of important (and not so important) events along the way!
