Thursday 22nd March - 1 hour around the park

Day off - YAY!

Flying to Orlando tomorrow so have taken time out to get million and one admin bits under way. Moving house as well as moving other things certainly taking time and effort which can't be done whilst at work. Plus I needed a new pair of shoes and some shirts pre-CTIA (Orlando trip - business, not pleasure - well, not too much pleasure!)

Really enjoyed a good run around the park, lengthening it out to take me to an hour - felt strong, especially in comparison to where I was when I last ran, (Sundays meeting with the wall) so I guess that a positive outcome of the hard work was increased strength.

Have read up on the wall and established that I didn't sufficiently carb load pre-run. Have eaten anything and everything since unless its been nailed down. Janeywife pointed out that carb loading doesn't necessarily include fat loading - guess she meant the whole grain loaf and pot of taramasalata that disappeared from the fridge over the last couple of days (well Monday pm and Tuesdays am.) as well as 4 pots of creme caramel in same 24hr period.

Will take trainers to Orlando but its looking like 28-30degrees in the shade (sob, sob, wail) so I won't be heading out for much more than an hour. Have promised myself to revisit and run through the wall upon my return to London April 1st.

Note to self - pasta/rice/potatoes good. Pork Pies, troblerone, taramasalata, creme caramels BAD.
