Helloooo!
SO another week down and therefore another week closer to the marathon! CAN'T BELIEVE how quickly it's coming round..very scary!!
Having spent the weekend in London, Hannah and I decided to fit in a training run and run from Golders Green to Berwick Street to browse some fabric shops! Totting up a 7.26 mile run IN THE SNOW...and being our farthest run yet. Proud.
We also tried some energy gel to see how they affected our runs and it was DISGUSTING...think I'm going to have to try jelly babies instead because can't be dealing with that snot like gel, that's for sure. I was hoping they would make us run like Roadrunner (plan would be to take one in the last mile of the marathon and wizz up past everyones asses) but unfortunately, due to the short-leggedness inflicted, continued to run at the same pace.
Slightly disappointing.
Altogether this week my little legs totted up a total of 13 miles running (over half of that in one run...yipee) as well as a cross training session.
Hannah and I are signing up for a half marathon mid February so I can have real taste of what it's like to have some pretty good runners racing us...with our competitive sides coming out it could get messy. As we were talking about this week...if we run the marathon together, what happens at the end? SOMEONE HAS TO WIN! Food for thought...
Happy Monday!!
Love a fledgling Marathon runner in training (Laura)
