Morning all
have done an easy 30 min run/walk
Not feeling too clever, think i might have a cold
Yippee, excuse for eating
Had brekkie yesterday, and it delayed the crisp craving by 2 hours
Maybe i should have two breakfasts like hobbits
Have a good day all

It all counts!
Benz, how on earth do you manage to get up and out and be so cheery all by 7.16?! Its as much as I can do to get out from under the duvet by then! You are very impressive!
I ended up on Hobbit mealtimes yesterday - including going along to a meeting at which the catering was rather better than expected. I'd been for a swim first, so no chance of nibbling on a fragment of cucumber. But the fruit was nicer than the cakes, and I managed to ignore the dish of crisps on the table in front of me. Then went home and had another cooked dinner. Yippee! About 3,000 calories (a mixture of guesswork and reading labels tells me), most of it NOT chocolate, and it all went down without touching the sides. Runners with half-marathons on the horizon need lots and lots of food.
Sassie, you can do that long run. What's the worst thing that can happen, after all? You might feel a bit sore and tired and have to slow down and walk part of the way. Happens to everyone sometimes - read what the really fit girls and boys post on the training board and you'll see that it happens to them as well. More likely, once you get into the unknown territory beyond the distance of your previous longest run, you'll enjoy it.
Insecurity confession coming up - last winter I was so worried about having to bail out halfway through my long run that I used to take a fiver for a taxi and a coin for the phone out with me, despite the fact that I never went more than about 3 miles from home. I've got more relaxed now. If an injury strikes, either I need an ambulance or I'm fit to walk home.
Time to do some work...wonder what joys await today? Saw a non-runner whose winklepickers had given her runner's toenails yesterday. I think she thinks I've got some sort of commercial interest in Doc Martens because she's heard my mantra - "trainers, Docs, and WEAR SOME SOCKS!" so many times this year. And she still comes to see me in those winklepickers, and insists that she never wears them normally.
I'm averaging 3 or 4 nights a week with alcohol - down from 7 nights a week with alcohol! If I can get that down to 2 I'll be happy.
Good luck all.
