Wow...I'm such a mardy cow!

Reading yesterdays blog has made me give myself a bit of a slap today!
I was obviously on a right downer...possibly brought on by the start of a cold. I've been sneezing and feeling very "full" which made me get up at 5:30 this morning as it was too uncomfortable to lie in bed because I couldn't breathe. Once up, I felt so much better. I'm paracetomolled up and feeeeelin' gooood! :-) Who said drugs are bad?

I also realise I've been far too critical of myself about London. I mean, bloody hell, I can already run, so it's not that I'm unfit (although I certainly felt like it on Sunday). If I'm 100% honest with myself, despite the head down and sheer knackeredness in the last 2 or 3 miles, I do think that if it hadn't been for the humidity I would have been much more comfortable, and despite that, I still found Sunday to be the easiest marathon I've ran so far.... so it's time to stop whingeing about it! Reading other peoples race reports, blogs, ijustran apps... it seems we all suffered in the heat, so I'm not alone in the difficulty I found.

Graeme got offered a job in Nottingham yesterday, which he turned down... but it's looking likely he will have to work away as there is nothing up here. That upsets me too, but bills have to be payed I suppose.

Still no news on the new car. I emailed this morning as they are supposed to have it in stock now. I'm hoping I can drive to Windermere in style.
Run tonight... I'm thinking 6 miles (if the cold doesn't get worse that is). I'm already looking forward to it.
