I haven't been running for seven days and it's the idea of not updating this blog, making it really obvious I haven't been training, that spurred me on to get out tonight. That curiosity to see if "War and Peace" would be distracting enough to stop me being so bored after 10 minutes that I'm shouting at my inner slob "are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?".
Anyway, a week off doesn't seem to have done me too much harm; 6.1 miles and at a faster pace than I did the 7 miles last Sunday. No back ache, felt pretty comfortable, legs fine, no blisters or sore ankles. This is not a reason to have a week off again, I really do need to keep it up and keep adding the distance because there will be times when I won't be able to run so every mile now will help.
The plan is to go out again on Thursday and do a similar distance and then try for 8+ miles on either Saturday or Sunday.
And "War and Peace" turns out to be quite a romp.
