Lesson learnt!!

So I've learnt some important lessons today: firstly, to not put off doing my washing as this will end up in me having to go for a 13 mile run in socks that give me a blister at 4 miles (ouch!) and secondly, don't go on said run without a drink as this would just be stupid. Needless to say today's long run was hard work and my feet are not happy with me (the left one seems particularly furious!) and I've got a banging headache from the dehydration. Ooops! I guess it's better to make these mistakes now than in 11 weeks time though! The pain was slightly eased by the final leg of my run being on the pier (cue an interesting GPS map of the run which makes me look like I can walk on water!)....

... the reason the pier cheered me up so much was because of the latest addition to it! Incase you didn't know, Saltburn has its very own "guerrilla knitter"who goes around "yarn bombing" various places / objects in the town. I often go past the teddy bears having a picnic on the promenade and it always makes me smile! The latest addition to the pier is nothing short of epic... if you haven't seen it already you NEED to go and see if for yourself, no photo can do it justice! Just make sure you wear sensible socks and take a drink :)

This week I've got two 4 mile runs and a 7 mile run to fit in mid-week, and a 15 mile run to do at the weekend - the furthest I've ran so far - yikes! Hope my feet forgive me by then! Better go and fill up on vast quantities of chocolate to help build up my energy stores for the week ahead :)
