well i nearly had 2 weeks off.... went for a 5 miler and how slow was i.... i think i could walk faster than this pre marathon, how can you lose so much fitness in 2 weeks, it is scary... i am just gonna take it easy with 3-5 mile runs for the next few weeks with no consecutive days and no speedwork until seen physio - got my letter today, only been 2 days - who said NHS is slow. However on a positive note, i have entered the Silverstone half again next year - with my Dad. He does not run but has set it as his goal. He has a few stone to lose and had a heart bypass several years ago and a heart attack, but was so inspired by me completing the marathon that he is giving this a go - gonna start slowly with lots of walking and take it from there - that has got to be right up there with completing the marathon itself - to be able to influence somebody like that kind of leaves me a bit choked... i feel super super super proud. My sis is also gonna start in the next few days - so a right family affair happening here. :) :) :) . Know what you mean about logging the food, i am trying not to add everything to favourites as that would speed the logging process and encourage me to eat more - not a good idea. HT Do it Do it, you know you want to. we will all support you along the way
