Quiet Start To 2008

With the Helsby Half Marathon only 2 weeks away, I really must get down to serious training this week and make sure my eating and more importantly my drinking is correct. That was brought home to me this week.

Because of the end of the school holidays my running has been thrown around a bit and I ended up not running Wednesday, but Thursday then Friday.

Thursday's run was really good - strong and fast. In the evening I felt a little dehydrated and was still dehydrated by Friday lunch when I went out for my run (one of those days when for 2 hours I'm saying 'going in 5 minutes'...). And that run was really hard work!

Over Christmas a few runs have suffered the same way. I really must concentrate on getting that water down me to help my running!
