8 Weeks Of Training Left!!!!

Sunday
So we only have 2 months left now before the big day.  I'm beginning to wonder where the time has went!!  My long run on Sunday this week went better than I anticipated.  I was late out of bed again this week and then couldn't decide what I wanted to do. The wind was blowing up a stooshie and it was pretty overcast. Apart from that, my eyelids still felt like they were glued together and I anticipated that it would take some time for them to prise themselves fully open!!!  So I decided to have breakfast and watch some tv.  I watched the remainder episodes of SATC series 1 and then motivated my backside up off the couch to get ready.  I discovered on Saturday night that all my running kit was in the wash and was now taking up pride of place on the radiators drying.  There was a nice row of Nike Swooshes on the downstairs radiator with all my running pants lined up lol  So this only left me my long running pants and long sleeve shirt - not great for the summer!!  So off I eventually set with a feeling of dread as this was supposed to be the 6 mile run.  When I got out there and got into my pace, I actually started to enjoy it.  The weather was perfect - a cooling breeze and no rain.  Although when the sun did poke its head through, it was very warm.  By the time I reached home, I had completed 6.12 miles, was super chuffed with myself  and felt good after the exercise.  That's nearly half the distance covered so far and I feel much better that I have reached this particular milestone.  I feel a bit more confident now that I can do it. Just need to play about with my fuel during my runs now.

Friday
Well its now the end of the training week and what have I accomplished - flippin sod all!!!!  And here was me saying further up that I felt better at being half way there - ooohh I dont think so now!! I haven't been out since Sunday and my long run.  My motivation right now seems to be stuck firmly at the start line and I cant get it to cross over :-/  At least when I start again on Sunday, I will have enough running kit, cause it sure as heck ain't in the wash!!!! 

Here's to next week and a better frame of mind.  Well... my mind and motivation better be in the frame as its only 7 weeks on Sunday to race day!!
