I love my breakfast on a Saturday!

I can honestly say that I do not know how I'm going to manage to run 26.2 miles. That will be three times and a bit more than I ran today. Seriously. Why am I doing this? Why did I think I was capable of it? And that's exactly the sort of thing I found myself thinking as I was running this morning. Not for the whole run, but certainly for part of it. I just need to remind myself that I'm only four weeks  in  to a sixteen week schedule, so there's a long way to go. My mentality needs as much work as my physical stamina, but I'm going to get there. In answer to my questions to myself earlier, I'm doing this because I've wanted to test myself with this for years. And I thought I was capable of it because I know I am. One day at a time,one kilometer at a time, I can do this.

Not that it's my biggest concern, but it's worth mentioning that I was pretty happy with my pace this morning. It wasn't bad at all. It was consistent. And in the  last three K, I was able to speed up a little because I wanted to get home before The Main Man went to work. He knew I'd been out since 5.45am, and I wanted him to see that I'd got home safe. I made it back in time to see him. I was well chuffed. I did the thirteen kilometers in one hour, forty-seven minutes. Slow but steady.

My knees are sore today. Not massively, but more than normal. I stretched after the run, something I am guilty of skimping on. I still need to do it  more. I wore my usual knee support. I read  about something called Kinesiology Therapy (KT) tape yesterday. It's applied to the area in need of support,and can  stay there for a couple of days. The reviews are all  good, saying it works better than the neoprene supports. I've ordered some, and we'll see how that goes. I will check out on line how to apply it for my needs. Fingers crossed I can head off any injury possibilities at the pass.

And breakfast? A massive chicken,onion, mushroom, red pepper and kale omelette with a pot of coffee. Yummo!
