Half marathon

It was very wet and very windy but the pan au chocolat and porridge combination = 2hrs 05mins and a pb so happy at that. The sprint finish confirmed that I could have gone a bit faster too, so looking for under 2hrs next time.
Next day I walked / jogged 15 miles through the Pentlands with very sore knees. When Michelle asked me why I'd done that I told her it was because it was on the training plan she'd written. She reminded me that they were pretty random numbers written on a sheet of paper in a hurry ......and there was me thinking it was some new law that had come in! 2 days of rest now on doc and physios orders :-)

High altitude training!

I didn't do as much running as I'd hoped while on holiday but am assuming the ski-ing, especially the skinning uphill, will have counted for something.
All will be revealed at this Sunday's half marathon
The runs I've done since getting home have made me aware that pan au chocolat every morning possibly wasn't the best plan - but am back to porridge now so sure all will be fine............
