Week Four Already!

Hard to believe that at the end of this week, I'll be a quarter way there. Hard and scary. But enough of that thinking ahead nonsense. Yesterday was three miles and there was no frost again till about two thirds of the way round. Not bad. A different story this morning though. I'd five miles planned, and at least two parts of the route are frosty in warmer temperatures than this morning, so I knew there was no point trying to run that way. I ended up at the track in the park, but it's only half a kilometer round, so by the time I'd gone round a few times, I thought I'd try the roads nearby. I got the miles done that way.

I had to get up at 5am though to give myself enough time. I did go to bed at about 10.30pm last night, but really, that's still not early enough. And I'm not sleeping all that well. I'm getting a very broken night's sleep on a regular basis at the minute. Perhaps it's because I'm conscious that I'm going to be rising so early, and I can't relax. I think I'm going to have to seriously consider running in the evenings in a week or two. Grrr! I hate running with traffic.

I'm definitely improving. Not speed wise. That's still very slow. But as far as stamina is concerned, I'm getting better. I can't say I'm not a bit bored sometimes, but I'm able to go the distance each time and it's becoming further in to each run before my legs start to feel heavy. I was okay right up to 5k and beyond this morning. I'm pleased with that. 

I'm really hungry today. I had my usual three egg bacon and mushroom omelette at 7am, but it hasn't staved off the hunger for as long as it normally does. I might have to break out the chicken breast a little earlier than I anticipated. Lunch at 11am perhaps :-)
