Ruth, that run was for you!!

Just done a 10 mile run. Unfortunately Amy is still feeling poorly and wisely stayed in this morning. It was really cold but beautifully sunny and I re-visited my favourite running spot; the seawall along the marshes. Absolutely stunning! The positive ions (?) coming from the River Colne swept me along. Felt really good and I feel really back on track. My dilemma now is the big one - I feel I need to complete a 20 miler but is it more sensible to try and do it this Wednesday morning, or Saturday morning. Saturday only gives me two weeks recovery before the marathon, but then is Wednesday too soon - it was only last Wednesday that I returned to running (that 2 miler) after a three week break? I can see I am driving those close to me just a little barmy by ruminating on these sorts of issues. 

I wonder how Kevin and Paul got on running in the snow on Saturday.

And Ruth. I'm really thinking of you. Ruth, you probably know, is my music therapist colleague who did that sport relief run last Sunday (16/03/08). She has been very supportive of this blog giving me loads of comments. She was off from work last week and I thought she had flu. Got a text from her on Sunday and she has ended up in hospital. After speaking with her I am really worried for her. I know she is surrounded by loads of friends and family and she said that there were advantages to being in Broomfield Hospital - an en suite, flat screen TV, central heating !!! But tests are being done and, well, if you need anything just shout. Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday. Anyone reading this got any message for Ruth?

Ok, time for protein, carb and vit/mineral in take - sorry I mean lunch.
