Holiday

Oh, I really could do with a holiday.
I stupidly chose to spend this year having long weekends (so I felt like I was always off somewhere doing something), however it has unfortunately made me feel like I haven't been off work for... like... ever!

Yesterdays' run was OK after the first 2-3 miles, before that I felt like someone had a vice around each glute and had tightened it to the limit. This eventually eased off and the rest of the run was rather pleasant.
Yoga was as "stretchy" as ever, and I'm quite amazed at how in week one I couldn't do the whole "concave back" thing, and now it isn't a problem. I even need to use the blocks much less. Mind you, I was really aching this morning and I'm sure it was all yoga related!

The dreaded speedwork tonight, but then I get the luxury of the sauna afterwards. Most people say they don't know how we can go in there when we are so overheated after the treadmill, but I find it relaxing. (And there is always the plunge pool to cool you down midway if it gets too much).

I was asked today if I am losing weight! Ha, chance to be a fine thing. I weighed myself this morning and nearly fell off the scales to see 9 stone 12... bloody hell... I haven't weighed that much since I was 8 months into my pregnancy with Luke!
Graeme reckons the scales are a bit duff, but I can tell I'm putting weight on. The upside is that I feel very "solid"... but the downside is, I now have more of me to carry through a marathon!
