t minus 60 days

Easy 12 this morning. Left foot still hurting and causing my form to suffer a bit... but not enough to worry me too much. Iced it afterwards. Track tonight - 20X400 I think. 60 days and I need to start getting focused and motivated. I've keep telling myself it's time to get down to race weight but my weight is either going up or staying the same but it's not going down. Need to get under 150, 148 if possible... so there's less of me to carry around London. So I feel light and feel like I've been disciplined and made sacrifice etc. blah de blah. When it comes to discipline about food I'm rubbish. Always dipping into an extra bowl of cereal, or an extra PBJ on toast, or a cookie with my coffee. I've cut out the full strength Granola and yogurt in the mornings and replaced it with Weetabix with non-fat milk. I probably just need to eat more veg when I eat veg so there's less room in my tum persuading my mind I need more food. Sitting about at home also leads me to eat a bit cause I'm just bored.

60 days. That's really not that long. All those big words like Determination and Motivation and Discipline spring to mind. Need to be focused on preventing injury as much as I am about keeping to my training schedule. Need to be more disciplined about getting up at 5:15am and getting out of the door rather than fannying about.

What a silly life.

Need to put in a long run Thursday morning - crikey, tomorrow morning (starting at 5am) - because I don't want to do a long run the day before the 10miler this Sunday. Will stick to whatever the club slr is this Saturday rather than add on much mileage. I feel I'm repeating myself somewhat.

Things to concentrate on in the very short term...
26th Feb - Columbia 10miler
12th Mar - St. Patricks Day 10k
19th Feb - Ft. Hunt 10k
25th Mar - National Capital Half
2nd Mar - Cherry Blossom 10miler
taper taper taper bish bash bosh
23rd April - London

come on hugh.. stop being half-arsed.
