Again not an earth shattering time - a morning run this time, around 10am. Very sunny but still very frosty and slippy so more of a tip-toe really. I wanted to run faster, and had the energy to. I feel the stress is reducing now and I'm finally feeling like I've almost organised all the things I can organise before setting off - the rest will jst have to live without me. I am feeling very pleased to have completed part one of the experiment in tact. The chances of that now go down a bit for the next week, as I'm planning on 3 miles being just the icing on the cake. Hope to bump this months mileage up a bit, and get closer to training for the Reading half marathon at the end of March, and the Goring 10k at the beginning of March, both of which I've entered for.
I also tried out another experiment this morning with very commendable results. In a fit of rebellion I ate an egg McMuffin 20 minutes before my run, again squeezed in between various commitments. No stitch, nausea, gut overenthusiasm ro anything at all ! I'm contemplating introducing this as a significant part of the February experiment!
My legs are desperate to get going in a warm non-frosty setting - although I will miss the beauty of the cold in some ways. Still have 2 days to run when I get back. I will try to put up my inital plan for next week on the site later on.
