A couple of mates of mine were going out for a curry tonight, but I had a training session planned. Believe it or not, I turned down the chance of a curry and kept the training session! The session itself was pretty good and I'm glad I went out. I did 10miles in about 90mins.
The training session itself wasn't the only reason I said no to the curry. We've got the outlaws coming down to stay, and if I had a drink tonight, it would have meant drinking Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which isn't ideal (I'll save that extravagence for Xmas and New Year....!). Also, I'm going out for a beer with a work mate on Monday and seeing the FiL on Tuesday which isn't ideal marathon training.
Anyway, back to tonights session. It was the first 'proper' evening run I've done, and I really enjoyed it. There were loads of other runners out and about, which is always nice. It was really windy though, but I ploughed on through it and enjoyed the session. I'm actually beginning to think that this Marathon may just about be possible! I need to stay injury free, and keep up the training, but I'm now beginning to think I've got it in me, which is great.
I found a new 'toy' on RunSaturday. If you go to this link, it should take you to a map of my route. In the bottom right hand corner of the map, there are controls to 'play' the route again, and it shows my heart rate, pace and altitude along the route. Great stuff!
