Reflecting on last week's training through ice and snow I've now arrived at the start of a 14 week marathon training course - 'The Slow Twitchers' being run by Mick Brearley - about which I'm very excited and hoping that when I finally meet with him along with my fellow students all will become clear!
I am avidly reading 'The Complete Runner's Handbook' and following the Lucozade Super Six in Runner's World Magazine - 6 RW staff taking part in the VLM all with differing goals from 'getting round' to 'PB chasing'. I'm trying not to think too much about a goal and concentrate on the training ahead!
So the start of week 1 is here and the snow is beginning to thaw. Thank God - although a hardy few of us have managed to keep up our training throughout this inclement weather, Sophie in particular has been my saviour and as yet I haven't had to run alone. Marc and I turned up at the usual Monday meeting place Fitness First Gym, to find Sophie - all alone - the three of us decided on a route and off we set. It was very treacherous under foot as ice lay beneath the slush. As we ran a group of youths began throwing snowballs - bosh! one hit me on my shoulder, bosh! one hit right on the back of my head - we just ignored them and carried on - please let the snow be gone before our next run on Wednesday....
