Big mileage

In the last week I have run 54.5 miles over 4 runs. My minimum run is now 10.5 miles and when I got home tonight it was hammering down with rain. It had been a long day but I had to get the run in so tomorrow morning I could start with a turbo bike session followed by yoga to flush out the lactic acid. Both will be done by 7.30am. This will mean when I get my sports massage tomorrow afternoon, I will get the full benefit. It would have been so easy not to have gone out, it was totally miserable but I seem to run in "a bubble". Music on and focus straight ahead looking for potholes with my head torch. Writing my blog also helps. I don't want to have a gap in my training and I want to be able to tell you what I've done. So thank you for reading my blog because when it's raining, snowing or freezing you motivate me to get out there!
