Priorities and Training

Fitting in a long run at the weekend can be difficult. Todays long run was to take 2:15. The plan was to wake up and go do the run. But it was 10:30am before I was up and ready to go. That would mean the family would miss the best part of the day to go out and do something together. My priority being my family meant a quick change out of running gear and we were off out to Polesden Lacy. Here we are with me teaching the boys how to balance their lives! But I still have a marathon goal to achieve, so at 2:30pm I set off for a 24km run which meant I just about got home before it got dark. So a good day that shows me it is possible to fit in training without impacting family life too much.

This week I have again pretty much kept to the plan (8.83km, 8.39km, 9.6km, 8.9km, 6.91km and 24.9km) fitting in runs at lunchtime, on the way home from work and late in the evening. I felt tired on Saturdays 6.4km run but apart from that I am feeling pretty good. Missed the club run on Thursday because the trains out of London were affected by the high winds we had all day.

But now another pressing commitment calls, Daniels homework. Adios for now.
