Run Number 3

OK so today the boredom really got to me. I once again managed my four miles (as dictated by the marathon training schedule) and was quite proud of myself. I knew I could run four miles after yesterday's effort but I didn't think I could do it 2 days in a row. I have now breached my 10 mile mark altogether this week. I have got my breathing down (although that first mile is still a killer) and once I get into a steady rhythym my legs go on automtic pilot so long as have something to think about. Last night I reached my 2nd mile and my mind went blank.I had analysed and over-thunk (sp?) everything I could and then nothing. All I could think about was the tired muscles, the sweat itch, the sore knee and how I still had 2 miles to go. On top of all that I have a cold and I'm all mucous-y and horrible. I'm such a girl, if this is what I'm like with 4 miles what will I be like with 26!?!

Here's my run stats from today:



Mood: Grumpy that my run wasn't more pleasurable

Challenges: The cold (again), the cold (as in the sicky one which I now have), rain, boredom

Achievements: Another four miles now bringing my weekly total to over 10 miles, dragging my ass outta the house even though I'm sick.

Motivations: Hot whiskey in the pub to help with my cold :)

PS Does anyone know how to stop heat itch? Once I stop running I get this insane itch!!! Its driving me mad!
