What: Day of Xmas shopping Why: need to start somewhere
Last hard: You know the drill, they're all hard.
Last Easy: September 1st.
DannyM -- one of the Mr's religious work colleagues calls the Trafford Centre the 'Cathedral of Consumerism'. I call it the Cathedral of Misery - getting there and back! Nightmare.
Morning, Squeeze in a light session sometime today Why: easy day on Saturdays (and still sore from yesterdays off road hill reps) Last Rest : Tuesday Last Hard : Yesterday
What: 8 miles @ marathon pace. Why: need to do one a week. Am very resentful of family commitments today as I needed to do long run, that will now have to be done tomorrow and with speed work Mon not ideal. I'm trying to figure out some lit routes since it's clear winter darkness will otherwise interfere too much with my training. Only the main street going through my village is (partially) lit, that's 1 mile from one end to the other. Last hard: Wed night. Last rest: yesterday.
At 6 o clock I grasped the nettle, put on a white Tshirt, reflective vest, flashing armband and a headtorch and left with the family verdict on my attire ringing in my ears:
and did 5 miles at 1/2 m pace along dark country lanes. On the way home a car slowed down behind me - it was my husband, redeeming himself by nipping out to the offie for some wine. Cheers!

At 6 o clock I grasped the nettle, put on a white Tshirt, reflective vest, flashing armband and a headtorch and left with the family verdict on my attire ringing in my ears:
'You look ridiculous.' (husband)
'...a complete twerp.' (teenage daughter)
and did 5 miles at 1/2 m pace along dark country lanes. On the way home a car slowed down behind me - it was my husband, redeeming himself by nipping out to the offie for some wine. Cheers!
Managed 2.7 miles at about 7:40 per mile on my recovery run.
