Positive Planning
Good move, Andy.
Don't beat yourself up about having a break. As was mentioned on another thread, after a marathon you need time to recover mentally, and that's all you've been doing. You deserved a rest, and needed one. The fact that you've entered the Brighton Half says it all: your appetite's returning.
Me too. I've had a funny sort of year. A bit hit and miss. But I'm glad I've decided on a spring marathon; there's a lot of winter ahead, but I can now feel excited about it instead of dreading it.
I can't go too mad with races (I tried that this year, and ended up injured), but I hope to do Brighton as well.
Good luck, and keep us informed about the training. The first run will be horrible of course, but you'll surprise yourself how quickly you can get out of that 'hole' once you see the daylight.
Cheers
Andy
