And so the Schedule starts.....

So its a new year, new start and all that bollocks. Last night was at a house party at Steve's mums with a few old uni friends, was nice, stayed 100% sober, am giving up alcohol full stop anyway. Really want to cut down on all the caffeine as well, and drop the sugar. That means less chocolate I suppose. I also need to lose weight for the marathon. Its really frustrating, I definitely am smaller, my clothes fit better, I can get in smaller ones, and I know I look smaller. But the scales never say any change. I know I know muscle weighs more, but it would be nice. Once in a while.

Anyway, marathon schedule starts today and I was supposed to be having a recovery run based on times and the garmin was damn well playing up. Really annoying, but at least I ran for the right time if nothing else.

Was supposed to be an easy 4 in 35 minutes. Plus am in unfamiliar territory which is never easy. But

4m 33.46 8.26mm (was supposed to be 8.45- not good start)

1. 8.43
2. 8.52
3. 7.55
4. 8.14

so pacing looks all over the place, was in fact pretty even, so garmin all wrong, I do in fact think latter 2 miles are probably more accurate, so I just need to learn to control it and hold it back when it feels easy. I'll learn. Has to be sharpish tho!!!

Anyway, back to crappy work tomorrow- both works. Then orchestra, only have 4 miles to do, so I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze them in somewhere.

Anyway, happy new year guys xx
