I wasnt planning on going for a run this morning but my lovely husband bought me some running magazines and a book on how to run a marathon for our anniversary and gave them to me yesterday (3 days early) and after last nights failure of the Nike+ and it being such a sunny morning plus I was awake early I thought why waste the opportunity.
I didn't have much time what with Tim leaving for work and the school run so I ran to the King Alfred and back home without stopping once which I was quite pleased with. It was 2.84 miles in 25mins 3 secs - not my best time but I was running home against the wind.
After reading some of the book I feel excited about the marathon but we really need to step up the training and increase our distance. Only three weeks and two days till our 10k (6.2 miles) my goal is to do it under 1hr and 30 mins!
One of the books Tim gave me was 'Run your first marathon' by Grete Waitz and Gloria Averbuch - this is such a good book and I cannot put it down. Mind you I havent got to the training schedule yet.
