What Not To Eat Before a Run ...

Feb0620106:14 p.m.

I was kept busy today taxi-ing my daughter around but I'd planned a 1.5 hr run this afternoon whilst she was in her music class. We had 45 mins between the morning and afternoon activities to grab a bit of lunch, and whilst walking through Windsor deciding what to eat we were seduced by the aroma eminating from a fish and chip shop. I gave in and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. However an hour later, a couple of miles into my run, it didn't seem such a good idea! 

I ran a route I'm not particularly familiar with (along the Thames from Windsor to Maidenhead, and back trough Bray towards Windsor). It was a bit muddy and slippy underfoot but a nice day for a run. A combination of yesterdays 12.4 miles + the fish and chips meant the pace was a bit 'stodgy' too but I got back to the music centre in just under 1hr 30 (10.4 miles). I'm quite pleased just to have fitted a run in today - and still get to watch the rugby now ...
