Edinburgh here we come!!
Oct0620088:13 p.m.
Well 06 October is day one of our tailor-made 34 week impossible is nothing Edinburgh marathon training plan.
Day one! 25 mins. (The plan is a very gradual build up from scratch, rather than half-killing myself in 4 months - see 2008 posts for info!)
Well, as this was my first run since ermmmmmm April, it went well. Clearly I had lost all my fitness from FLM, but I felt it went well and dare I say......I enjoyed it?!
I'd forgotten how good it feels to jump in the shower after a run in the cold. Also sporting my new Wrightsocks and my new Montane featherweight all singing all dancing jacket. Liking both so far.
Stats for tonight.
Cats avoided 2
Fish n chip shops run past reluctantly 1
Other runners 0
Music supplied by Tiesto.
Next run, Wednesday, back then.

katieh123 'Hi Lynn, well done on getting back to it on the first day of your new training plan - and bigger well done for getting past the chip shop! Will you be running for Mind again? I'm just trying to decide on a marathon to do next year.... think I'll be aiming a bit later in the year than Edinburgh though.' added 6th Oct 2008

Account_closed 'I had to admit I walked past a chip shop after Loch Ness, but I just couldn't face the thought of Chips and Chocolate (Already bought at the shop before the chippy). Hope Edinburgh goes well, my running club is thinking of doing a weekend away for this one, but I don't think I can face 2 marathons in a month (have one at the start of May).' added 7th Oct 2008
