Fat man leading the way by digby8

Sometimes I do wonder if it is possible to plan for the future.  I can't even keep to a scheduled run at the moment, and certainly can't seem to even get time to log on and do recreational blogging..

Apparently its nearly two weeks since my last chance to sit down and reflect, mostly because of work and the stresses that's causing - a symptom of which was that I got the date wrong for the Wesham 10K I was supposed to run last weekend - I was only 23 hours late, why didn't they wait?  Anyway, it was -4C and driving there was like a picture postcard and not having to run was a blessing - that was until I still put the shoes on and ran 8 miles locally as penance.

I am now 6 months from the Edinburgh Marathon and have decided to do a 26 week training plan and it looks soooo scary!  I'm in week 1 and should have ran 3 x 3miles by now - instead I will have ran 4.5 and did 1 90 minute gym session (sounds close enough to  me!)  However, how I will manage to keep the 6 days a week schedule going later on I just don't know.  I would like to think I will get into an early morning ritual, but without the running partner there I'm not so sure..... 

Anyway....  Hats on, gloves on and out we go!
