2 lie-in’s and 112 get ups

As Adele gets giddy asking each day how many more “get ups” to Christmas I am contemplating the fact that there is just 2 more “lie-ins” before Marathon training starts and then 112 get ups before I can have another lie in!

I don’t feel ready for this at all, I have been spending like mad and have new trainers, a new Garmin (Christmas present to myself) new running tights and shorts (in case the weather ever warms up), I have a new running jacket and hiviz tops.  I even have a sports massage in hand that I won in the Sport Fix monthly competition.  My (rather optimistic) training plan is written, races are entered, justgiving page is set up.

My fridge, surprisingly, is full of fresh food . . . . .

 . . . . . . and after 6 months without a working oven I now have a new one and thanks to an early morning call from TSR it’s all fitted and working ready to bake loads and loads and loads of jacket potatoes and pasta bake!

I am working really hard (eating & drinking) to make sure that there is no chocolate, ice cream, cakes, biscuits or wine left in the house in 3 days time!




All I need now is a great big boost of motivation and enthusiasm!  Any ideas anyone?
