Training Day 17th October 2010

The theme of the Training Day at the Metropole was "Don't Panic, Keep Calm and Carry On" which is just as well because that's exactly what I was thinking I was likely to do. Having not run at all for some weeks I was starting to think I'd made a huge mistake. The atmosphere, the mix of people (all shapes and sizes and some who definitely didn't look like keen runners) was encouraging and the presentations surprisingly down to earth, except for the Women's Running pair who I'm sure I'll talk about another time.
Anyway, the point of this blog is to try and keep me on track with my training. I got a buzz out of Sunday and need to keep that feeling. The best way I can think of to keep myself running is to put pressure on myself by being open and telling friends and family, anyone in fact, to pester me as much as they're able to about how my training is going. The only thing that is likely to make me keep at it is the embarrassment I will feel when I have to tell people I just gave up because I couldn't be bothered.
So the challenge to anyone who reads this is keep bugging me about my marathon training. I'm sure it'll be extremely boring for you but I will (eventually) be very grateful you did.
