Today I ran 4 miles, I should've "officially" run it on Sunday, but meh - wotcha gonna do?
I started off cursed with bad luck, my Ipod shuffle has finally conked its battery! Which is great considering I bought it in January and haven't charged it since! So strike one - no music. Never mind I went out anyway. Took a wrong turn at a roundabout - never mind I'll keep going until I recognise somewhere. EEEEURRRRRRRRRGH! I didn't stop until I got to Watford Junction station... LOL Strike two, getting lost. So what's the 3rd thing.....?

More training in new trainers!
Well I picked up the garish footwear on Saturday! They are fabby! I meant to go for a run in them over the bank holiday but I just didn't get round to it. I tried them out at kickboxing last night and they felt really good.
Today I went to the gym and attempted 3 miles. I crashed and burned BIG TIME! I think treadmill running has lost the appeal. I was so bored, although the best time for me running seamed to be when I was zoning out and not thinking about anything, then my legs didn't hurt. But of course that's when I feel dizzy and the room spins and the treadmill becomes a dangerous place! I did manage 2.5 miles with lots of walking breaks. I am going to do my 4 miles on Sunday out in The World.
I think it was best to take it easy today. On Sunday I had a really really odd dizzy spell which could've perhaps been concussion. Either that or 3 hour flu! Although does concussion really take 48 to set in??? Who knows?

NEW SHOES!
My new shoes are here!
My garish pink, black and lime green miadidas trainers have arrived at Harrods! WOOOOOOOT! Ooh if they're open late on Wednesday I can pick them up then *g* but most probably it'll be Sunday before I get my sticky mitts on them. :-)

They're HERE! And plan for knee-injury free running.
Wooohoooo!
The shoes are here! Well they came on Tuesday but I have been so blah since then that I couldn't care less! But now I've had a bit more than the regular 8 hours a night and I'm feeling like I might actually GO for a run, then I'm pleased to announce that they have arrived! :D However my Race For Life pack still has not appeared, even after I called them and told them that it hadn't come and they'd said they'd resend it. Well no sponsorship for THEM!
Ok, so on Monday it will be 26 weeks until Amsterdam Marathon. 26 weeks, 26 miles. I conincidence I Think Not!!! So on Sunday my "long run" will be a WHOLE MILE! I know, please don't gasp and faint because of the huge insurmountable task that I have before me! I will slowly, cautiously jog a whole mile to the park, round and back again in my lovely pink trainers. I'm so happy!
A small part of me is thinking about giving up my gym membership. With 6.5 hours of kickboxing training a week at the moment and this event coming up that I have to train for... Well who has THAT much energy for chrissakes! I am going to make enquiries and see if I can suspend my membership, but only in a month or two because I still have my gym buddy here for another month or two and I will go if she goes (hello girlieness). Instead of weight-lifting I was thinking about getting my butt into the fresh air on my lunch times, even just quickly. Then I think I will make some sort of effort on a weekend day to get in some heavy-ish weights at home. Squats will be entertaining, but maybe I can substitute with overhead squats with a lighter weight. After all, I will have to be able to PRESS that weight over my head first! EEEKS!
So yes, running, this Sunday (FLM Sunday) will be a mile. Then next Sunday will be 2 miles, then the Sunday after that will be 3 etc etc. Joy joy joy! I might stand a chance of not getting injured if I build up this slowly. Hurrah for 26 weeks to go :D

The Great Running Conspiracy
I am not running until I get my new shoes.
My new shoes were sent out on 30th March. Parcel Force cannot find my address. Lazy f*ckers.
My Race For Life Pack has been sent out on 20th February. I have not received it yet. Royal Mail. Lazy f*ckers.
Perhaps I should take the hint?
