I had a lovely Christmas: family came to stay, Santa delivered some great presents and we cooked and ate some wonderful, delicious food. Now, however, the wrapping paper is in the recycling bin, family have gone home and I have to return my thoughts to my training schedule.
My run today was hard. I was unmotivated. It was raining. Roast dinners do not make good running fuel. My body felt like it had never run before. Let's just say that today's 4m run goes down on the list of achievements under the heading "despite everything".
However, the most positive aspect of today's run is the reminder that if I want my body to perform well I have to look after it. Given that we're coming up to the new year, it's a perfect time to figure out what adjustments can be made to my routine to turn some old habits into better ones. First, I'll take care to eat appropriately, with running fuel before runs and a roast dinner indulgence on Sundays, after long runs. It's all about balance, you see. ;-)
