Let's get this training started:Day 5

So, marathon training started today with a 'long run'. By all accounts 8 miles isn't actually that long but it was all I could find within myself.

I ran along the cycle path, which is off road and in the woods, theory being it would be cooler in the heat. However at 7:30 this morning there was no heat and so it was just the right temperature! It was a bit gloomy and grey and actually quite chilly now. Not great weather considering I'm off to a christening in a short summery dress!!!


So, 8 miles today taking my total to 23, that's all running miles no cycling mileage in there at all. Not a bad start to the week. I wonder how this week will go, I have two exams this week and so will mostly have my head down revising and being in denial about the traumatic 4 weeks that lay ahead! Running is a good distraction!

Miles:8
Total miles:23
Exams still to take :6

    Good luck in your exam revision and your marathon training, after running London this year as my first ever marathon, I'm not sure which I thinks worse anymore long, long runs or weeks of revision!!
