I was tempted not to bother, but I need to tell myself to run when I can. Although my marathon training programme doesn't kick in till the New Year, I want to run often before then, both to increase my fitness and lose a little weight. (That said, I didn't help my cause by going out for breakfast afterwards. At least I didn't have a full fry up, just scrambled eggs, bacon and tomatoes. Probably not entirely paleo, as I can guess that it wasn't cooked in paleo approved oil. Vegetable oil and sunflower oil are not allowed. Still, if I follow it most of the time, I don't beat myself up for slipping up one day a week. Of course, the walk to and from the shops later {a further 5k} was not aided by a visit to Costa and the consumption of a very much non-paleo giant jaffa cake. So I reckon my food isn't really going to be up to scrath today. I have some gluten free sausages {not too bad on the paleo scale}, some Red Liecester cheese {totally verboten} and some Percy Pigs {extrememly verboten} A well, sod it. Tomorrow is another day.)
It was a good run this morning. I'm not fast, but already I see a small improvement in the few weeks I've been back at it. I ran it in just over thirty-eight minutes a couple of weeks ago. This morning, I was just under thirty-six. It's not my best time of 28:45, but it will do for a start.
I still can't wrap my brain round the idea of running twenty-six miles. This morning, after two I was knackered! When I think of the whole thing, I have a mini panic attack. I get a squirmy feeling in my tummy and I feel a bit sick. I can only hope that that will ease as the training miles increase :-/
