After working out earlier in the week, this was my first run since coming back from Fuerteventura. Dididn’t feel too bad, but lots of – ahem! – “interval traing”, shall we say 🙂

Weight is down 3.3lbs since Monday … which is nice.

Six weeks since my last run due to – oh – everything and it was tough. I decided to ease myself back in tonight. Up 1.1kg since the end of July, but then I have been on holiday eating mahoosive dinners!

So after an eight week lay-off – other than walking to and from work when I can – it was back into my evening run home. What rapidly became clear was a) how my fitness has declined in that time, and hence b) how running the Paris Marathon in less than four weeks would be foolhardy: I’d have done even less preparation than I had when I ran the Berlin Marathon and that was bad enough. So it’s the MK Half Marathon in May and a couple of 10k races and back into the ballot for London and/or Paris 2018. Oh and I’ve gained 1lb in the same eight weeks…
