Hello, all
The month was rounded off with another easy win for the "A" team at football, and a single goal for me (out of 17...). I'd almost certainly be unable to run the day after football if I'd tried - I just don't do the kind of flexibility training that's needed for the sport.

Monthly summary:
Target: 34.5 miles + 4 football
Actual: 13 miles + 4 football

A couple of obvious conclusions:

1. It's clear where my priorities lie.
2. That schedule was rather optimistic. (And let's face it, 34.5 miles is not a big target.)

Plan of action:

Sod it, this is supposed to be fun. Training much more than my current level is nigh on impossible at the moment. (Doing this overtime has stolen 8 hours a week - 8 hours I didn't even know I had. Mind you, there should be only two weeks left of it.)

I'm not going to get a PB at Reading. Fact. Ain't gonna happen. My previous (and only) HM was run midway through a marathon programme. Ditto Goring (almost certainly). So I just need to go out and enjoy them as best I can, given my relatively poor level of conditioning.

Meanwhile, I need to enjoy the runs I do manage, instead of despairing that they aren't enough. I'll try and stretch out to about 8 miles this weekend, and hopefully take time to enjoy the view.
