Today was the first day of my marathon training. I was supposed to go for a run with Karen and Martin but they (very wisely as it turned out) gave it a miss as the weather was a bit grim. As I was feeling unusually motivated, I decided that the Shaunies (Karen and Martin ) were being wimps and took myself off for a ten mile run as per my schedule.
Holy Crap was that a bad idea!!! It was a bit windy, but hey I'm a marathon runner- I'm tough.When it first started raining I didn't mind a bit. I quite like running in the rain I though, this is nice. Then it REALLY started to rain. and then hail.
I was absolutely soaked and freezing cold. The hail was stinging my face. I decided after eight and a half miles that enough was enough and headed home.
Not a great start to my marathon training. Oh well, I'll just have to make it up in the week.
