**due to lack of cherry liqueurs, will mint thorntons do?**

sally, I am very sure you will be fine in April - I had two weeks off with my cold and have not done more than 6 miles since so I am in need of getting my milage up too......you will be absolutely fine! Go over to runners world and look at some of their "intermediate" FLM plans - they are 16 weeks which would start next Sunday - you don't have to follow them, but it does give you an idea of what you can achieve in 16 weeks with a specific event in mind!

I feel very bad today, because I had NO reason not to run except sheer laziness......and it was laziness that won the day - no excuses of childcare, work, weather, exhaustion, time........just laziness. I must kick that into touch methinks....:o

But first, I need to finish these chocolates :rotfl:

I wondering if I can still finish my work if I have another sherry??

Ooo if you're struggling on those choccies Hypno - pass them over

I wonder if Rich ever has lazy days when he cant be bothered to go out?? Or if he only cancels when hes feeling off??

sallyx

Becky...he must have been lazy at some point otherwise he wouldn't have become the Overweight Veteran However now he is in training....my bet is being lazy and having a day off doesn't enter his mind!

**passes the box of chocs to becky**

The truth is that I'm probably lazier than anyone!:p

The beauty of having been through loads of previous build ups is that you know it gets easier and easier....to the point where its easier to go and do a run than not!

And I'm not joking!

Its just about getting to that stage now and its great!:D

18 miles in the morning and it seems like no big deal (especially with get outs at 6 miles and 12 miles:p ) whereas just completing a continuous 5K 12 weeks ago was a massive effort and delayed for hour after hour until I could build up the energy to do it!

PS Anything minty will do just nicely, thanks!:D

You aren't on your own Sally. I have been a bit thin on dedication too over Christmas (and that is the only thing I can be described as thin on after the amount of food I have consumed ) Oh well, tomorrow is another day....

Hic (I have hit the gin )
