This week I will be mainly doing the following:
- Wearing my trainers with work clothes around the office and as everyday footwear.
- Eating. A lot.
- Drinking water at every opportunity.
- Going to bed by 10pm *ROCK AND ROCK*
- Shunning most public outings to make sure I fully partake in the above activities.
In all honesty, I haven’t really given up very much during the past few weeks for marathon training. I didn’t really have a birthday party like I normally would – big night out with drinks and dancing – because I wanted to schedule a long run at the weekend, but I did get to go to Paris for the weekend, run there, and then have a birthday lunch and dinner (with some wine), so I didn’t exactly miss out.
There hasn’t been a huge amount of sacrifice for my training, but I’m not sure whether this is more of a reflection that I don’t really go out as much as I used/as I like to think I do….sure, I didn’t drink last week when I met my friend for Tuesday night drinks, but it was Tuesday night, so again, this wasn’t *really* a bad thing….
This week I’m also trying to get organised and *ready* for the weekend so it’s not all a mad panic on Thursday. I have purchased my marathon fuel:
(prefer to call it fuel – it makes me feel far more hardcore)
And tonight I’ll be picking up the marathon essentials from Boots….I think we all know what that means. I have finally made my mind up about my kit after obsessing about it for f-a-r too long, which is good. As the shorts were a nightmare, I’m going to go with leggings and a vest, and might take an old (but comfortable) pair of Nike capris along too, if I can re-lace the waistband just in case its as hot as everyone keeps predicting….
It’s almost time….
