14.5 Miles and a woozy 3 miler!

Ran 14.5 miles on Saturday and it felt great. The weather here in the north west of England has been amazing. Very cold but the sun is out which makes it much much easier to run. I've run up to a ridge and then back along it to my home town.

Now Sunday is my rest day so chilled out with the kids and then stayed up late to see Saving Private Ryan. What a film but that meant yesterday Monday I was a little tired as the film finished at 12.30 in the morning. I'd planed to do a 7 mile run but a mile in I felt dizzy and had to stop. In the end I limped in a very very easy 3 mile run feeling weird and light headed. I had a shower and fell straight asleep at 10:30pm.

You must get your sleep!! I'm also not sure if I drank enough water so that is another area I'm thinking about. Keep ya posted I have another 7 scheduled see how I feel!

Got my Calender for my marathon!

Well I looked on-line and found this site to build me a calender that goes straight into my Google Calender! http://www.mattandsara.com/marathon/ It's US based so has some programed events in but you can also choose your race date and then get all the training days from this awesome is the only word! Now I know what I have to do every week till May.

My god there is a lot of running to be done. Running every day but one! going to be using my head nearly every run as this is the only time I get to run when my wife is back from work about 9pm most nights. We have had snow for weeks in the UK so I have not been running for the last two weeks but got out to do a 5 mile today felt O.K. knee was a bit sore going to do a few small easy runs to see how it is.....

fingers toes crossed.
