Late '14 - Lightly Limbering Up for London

[marathondan]

Week -2 of 18

This warmup period is all about getting back into the routine of running three times a week, which I did successfully. Three outings, the holy trinity (interval, tempo and easy) - all offroad and all before dawn. On Saturday morning I successfully found the path from Field 2 to Field 1 in the dark and so was able to complete my long effort (only 6 miles). Having not eaten, I found myself consuming a lot of water (750ml in about 45 mins) so will have to take more in future and stash it. 

Maybe I'll be able to do most of my training early morning after all. It seems I'm less of an owl these days. Saturday morning was beautiful; a decent frost underfoot and stars and a full moon above, the faintest glow of sunrise apparent as I returned home just before 7am. And the good news is that we're almost at the shortest day already; the mornings may continue to become colder, but they'll also become a little lighter.
