There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...

I don't why she swallowed a fly-perhaps she'll die...well I hope not or its only old ladies who die from swallowing flies as I shallowed quite a few on my run yesterday! After a small coughing fit and a touch of lucozade later I think the extra protein probably did me some good (as an aside lucozade is currently 4 bottles for £2 in tescos...this was rather exciting to me especially at the rate I am going through the stuff). I managed a very respectable 13 miles yesterday and could have gone further if I didn't have wee visit to the police station in the middle.

Training sort of took a dip with being on holiday and then coming down with an awful cold which knocked me for six but all seems better now :) fingers crossed! After my mum suggesting that I should probably pull out me telling her that that was quiting and I was at least going to try to run the marathon I hit training on the head once I came back to the sunny South! Good Friday saw me run around 15miles (well about 10 miles running and 5 walking...it was hot!) and a couple of stops on benches! I also had to visit a corner shop to get more water as I was so dehydrated!

Easter Sunday saw me go for and early short run of 9 miles...when did 9 miles become a short run I will never know! It was however a lovely run along the banks of the Thames and Cherwell where I saw some interesting sights including a man swimming in the river (a tad gross I think) some very cut ducklings and baby geese (I don't know the term!) and was wished happy Easter and good luck by a homeless man. The run ended with me chatting to a plant scientist researcher, originally from Glasgow, which was really nice just to break up the boredom! He also mentioned there may be some money in biodiversity if anyone is interested!
