2008 - a new year of running

Another year, another 12 month of training for 10Ks, half marathons and marathons. Or as most people describe it, madness.

I have just set out on a renewed (suspended for Christmas cheer) training for my long distance races. Having plunged in and signed myself up for the Reading Half Marathon in March, there is no time to sit about. My two training runs, so far, were shocking! A desperate bout of hill training on Thursday and a gasping 1.5 mile effort yesterday around the local park are testament to the work needing to be done. It's not going to be easy. The alcohol and laziness of the holiday season has done me no good and 8 weeks of painful effort await.

Will I manage 13 miles om March 2? Let's hope so :\
