Weight: 12st 12lb – the scales did go to 12st 11lb but that was post-run on Monday when I was dehydrated.
Progress on all fronts. We have also finalised the relay team for the Edinburgh Marathon, so starting to gear up for that. We’ll be out tomorrow to do a marathon pace training run (8:25 min/mi). I only have to do it for 5 miles, but my training program says I should be doing an 8 mile long run, so if I still feel fit after it (doubtful) then I may do the extra few miles at my cooldown pace.
Gym today for a light weights session.
