Ok so today I have the day off ... Oliver's last day of school and the plan was I would take him down to mum's this afternoon but he has a party tomorrow so the drive is planned for tomorrow now!
This means that today I can do my long run (and therefore not waste time at mum's!). 1St it's the school run then tesco quickly.
Today I am trying the following: currently drinking 1pt lucozade and I will run with water. Back up fuel of a couple of SIS gels and something new! Xstals are small tablets containing lots of caffeine and stuff that were created for snowboarders to give them energy up in the mountains. I had a couple yesterday afternoon to see if they caused any problems - they didn't apart from lack of sleep last night!
Anyway today I will trot up to Ashby (about 3.5m) round the top of the town (including a couple of extra hilly loops for extra knackeredness!) then back home via Packington and then into the villiage past Champney Springs Health Hydro Spa (was it nice Benz?)
About 11m I think so hopefully home in 2.10-2.30 when I will have a nice hot shower after an SIS chocolate protein drink! The protein drinks do seem to help recovery I'm sure but they taste yucky! The High 5 one is OK but it's milk and I dont like milk so that takes some drinking. The SIS one is water based but tastes very powdery. Can't win can I! Someone recommended Slim Fast - I have some of that so that's a good standby!
Oh well better get to school and tesco!
Laters!
