What a week for running!

And not in a good way unfortunately! The weather is getting quite bleak and cold with it averaging about 3 degrees by the time I have finished work, and the rain is really starting to set in!

This means that i've finally succumbed to a cold and trying to fight it off as best I can with a steady supply of lemsip and vitamin C, which thankfully seem to be doing the trick!

Managed to get a good solid run in on monday but tuesday was a write off, so I swapped wednesday's off day to tuesday and all is right with the world again!

Managed to get in my first treadmill run in a long time, and I remember why I stopped doing it in the first place! Definately not my cup of tea, but may have to resort to doing it on the cold and wetter nights to help fight off the seasonal bad health.

Missed last sunday's long run due to a bit of over indulgence on the saturday night which i'm a bit annoyed about, and returning on the monday was difficult as it always seems to bit when i come back after a day off. But, need to keep my sanity some how, and so I think kicking back to relax every now and then (as long as I don't miss too many sessions) is going to a necessary evil.

Big weekend of running ahead with an 8 mile run today and 16 miles tomorrow, so will post the routes tomorrow night
