Training Log - Monday 27th April

I started training properly this Monday, with focus on my nutrition and preparation for a run making me feel a hell of a lot better than I usually run. This could be because of the time I ran (4.30pm) and didn't want to stop as people were going home from work, watching me. It could be because I used earphones for the first time, so my music pumped me up a surprising amount more than usual. It could also be my own motivation; having just decided to do a half marathon I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it.

There's a circuit that I ran this week in my area, which is a 1.3mile loop according to Google Maps. I wanted to run this twice (before finding out it was only 1.3miles) and then go home, which is another 0.3miles (so 0.6 in total to get to the loop and back). However, I drove myself to actually do 4 laps - double what I had planned. I got home pretty tired, but to be honest my feet hurt more than my legs, which in a twisted way is good (since this can be overcome easier).
