Well, Christmas has just flown by!!! Had an absolutely amazing time although possibly drank far too much considering the road ahead, but was good to take some time to appreciate the finer things in life!
Am back to running now with a few shorter runs under my belt to get me going after the holidays which were filled with heavy food and not much exercise!
Managed to get out today for a steady 8 mile run with the running club which was aces. Its awesome to be able to get out with them again, and makes a huge difference running with a group of people as opposed to being on your own.
Some good news as well in that my girlfriend is entering a dozen races with me next year and she is starting to get into running, which means i'll have a training partner through the majority of my runs!
Will be endeavouring to get back into the routine of things (including hopefully a healthy diet!) pretty sharpish, and luckily the running seasons starts in less than a week with the first race a nice 1/4 marathon. Its only 4 weeks now until the start of the marathon challenge, and its getting all sorts of scary.
Injury wise, i think i have managed to pick up a bit of a niggle in my left quad which is playing up, but hopefully my physio will be able to patch me up before it all starts.
Managed to get a few bits of running gear for christmas, and am absolutely loving not having to wash all my stuff every night to be used the next day!
