Do you ever have the feeling that you are running very fast, but going backwards? Metaphorically, of course, not actually running backwards. That would be silly.

Well, last weeks training was:
Monday 13th Jan: 10 mile run, 2 x 3 mile walk
Tuesday 14th Jan: 4.6 mile run, 2 x 3 mile walk
Wednesday 15th Jan: 2 x 3 mile walk
Thursday 16th Jan: 5 mile run, 2 x 3 mile walk
Friday 17th Jan: 3.1 mile run, 3 mile walk
Saturday 18th Jan: rest
Sunday 19th Jan: 2 mile walk

Total miles: 51.7

On Thursday last week I started to feel really tired and my knee started to have a twinge. But it's gone now. I think the walking is really working for me at the minute, feeling like there is a lot going on and it's fitting nicely into the schedule. 50 miles/ week is what I'm aiming for, and I suppose that as this is about 20 miles further than what I've been averaging over the last few months, to start by including walking rather than just running is probably a good thing. Hopefully from next week onward I will have the chance to start bumping up the volume on the weekends.

So I was feeling quite pleased, until I realized that I am going to have to do that whole entire distance in one DAY, not one week. Cripes. 

The other major point of note this week is that I have also been HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE TIME! As a student dietitian this is a very bad confession that I have to make that the chocolates and biscuits that I ate a Christmas under the excuse of, well, it was Christmas wasn't it, have kind of carried on a bit, because I'm hungry and busy and tired. This is a very bad example. So, I'm going to start searching for healthy nutritious recipes and start collecting them on here.
