Boy am I tired!
It seems that the suicide took it's toll yet my legs seem to be fine (will report back on that after lunchtime run!). Bear also said he was tired yesterday so I am guessing that the change from less demanding road work to full mud work does make a difference and that when people say XC is "worth" more then this is why! I was in bed and asleep before husband got home last night!
Belly is still not 100% and Gnome has been complaining of a bad belly too. Lots of kids off at school yesterday and even after school club was cancelled due to staff being sick. Fraggle has been poorly too so I guess it is that time of year when the lurgy is doing it's worse.
Tonight is weigh in night … I gained last week thanks to the hotel etc and my scales showed at the weekend that I had lost that weight, but because it was bad belly induced weight lose I've gained some back with eating almost normally! Hopefully I will still see a lose tonight mind!

Well I went out and did the 3.2m loop with J. Only 1min slower than Friday which I am pleased with and surprised at. Had lots of walking and legs were tired. Looking at J's splits it was the 1st bit that I lost the time on whereas the 2nd bit when I was really feeling it was about normal! Running is an odd thing but it was perfect running weather with clear blue skies and was begging to be run in!
This afternoon my legs are tired! Having sat down in a meeting for an hour or so I stood up with a wobble!! Still it was a nice "have run" achy leg feeling!
I now have just 2 maybe 3 runs left with J before he is off to the RAF. I want to try and get up to his speed for when he returns which will be tough! I'll have to be disciplined and get out at lunch! I will do the 2 runs this week and next then once he has gone swap to Mon, Wed, Friday runs until Christmas. If that works fine and I am running consistently then in the new year I will consider adding a 4th weekday run. In the mean time I also want to swim at weekends with Gnome and try and get a weekend run in which hasn't happened for ages!

Well only 1.5lb off but I am pleased with that as I have had a bug meaning that these last couple of days of eating normal have been replacing what I didn't eat! Still it is going the right way!
