Well yesterday I did a 5-mile session at running club - 1 mile warm up, 1.5mile hard effort, 1.5mile easy building pace throughout, 1 mile cool down.

But at least I ran well which is all that matters! Once I get into my marathon training proper I'm going to have to prioritise running above everything, including health and definitely work.

So tonight is going to be complete rest, endless cups of tea and honey and a very early night.

Can't wait for the Christmas holidays!!
