Thursday 29th Dec

 Running to Wendover from Kings Langley to have a 11:30 core fitness and stretch session with Joel at his gym. Very nice gym in his double garage by the way.

Had my banana at 8:30 and left KL at 9:11, raining hard and cold for the first mile or so then fine until Wendover when it rained again. Nice run 16.75 miles in 2 hrs 21 mins, generally felt ok, legs stiffened after 10 miles but not too much pain. Did not feel thirsty at all, first drink was at 9 miles just because I thought I should. I can't work out why! Training with Joel was great, a very good stretch session is great after running, shame he can't come with me.

2 weeks 2 days until it all starts! Panicking a bit that I have not done enough training! 121 days since my last drink, 116 days until my next! Weight holding steady now at 11st 2lbs, total loss since 31st August 27lbs!
