Training Diary, Day 61: Egging myself on

Retaining the motivation to go running is the toughest part of this training regime. Being 61 days in and with only 26 to go until the big race, now is not the time to lie down and take advantage of the easter egg reductions.

However tempting.

Training Diary, Day 41: Rain, rain go away.

The peril of doing too many press ups.

As I mentioned in a previous post the rain just doesn’t make you want to run. As such I’m confined to the house and will not be doing athletically pleasing indoor activities such as press-ups, sit-ups or step-ups – indeed they wouldn’t be aesthetically pleasing either.

My new running shoes are also still keeping a faraway shelf warm, yes I know, day 41 and I still haven’t managed to purchase any suitable footwear.

Instead I have become something of a specialist trainer borrower. Now to most people the idea of sticking their (hopefully clean) feet into someone else’s sweaty pumps is about as desirable as eating a marmite and peanut butter sandwich (believe me, I’ve tried!).
