all done!!

last run of the year and marcothon completed before most folk were even out of their beds today! as it was so icy yesterday i had to run on the roads last night, i did the same today.  and the roads were deserted so it was great to stretch out and run properly! most of it was done with a cheesy grin - so pleased i did 31 consecutive days, never copped out once, ran thru a wee sore throat for a few days there and even out running in such poor running conditions in the last week! So it is a nice couple of days rest for me with a nice long run planned for sunday with dr mo! must admit it will be strange not doing it every day as i had kinda got used to it. it did teach me i can go out no matter how short on time i am i can make time if i want to and i have more stamina than i realise!! confused that i put on weight, especially on my ass but i put it down to muscle [under the fat!]. i never ate any more than usual but i never did any real speed sessions either! thanks to debbie and marco for instigating the marcothon challenge and thanks to andrew who ran with me for most of it every day too! and to donna and dr mo [and jill, maz and cree too!] who kept me company on longer weekend runs.


i will not miss the frizzy hair - i just couldn't keep it straight. It was only straight 4 times in december including today!! i will not miss the extra washings of all the running gear - especially in winter! it taught me discipline, belief in my own stamina, time management and knowing i can do what i put my mind to if there is a challenge there!!


next year, on sunday, i will start running to a half mara plan! then if all goes well shift onto mara plan in march and sign up for edinburgh again!!!
