So I missed three days of training this week. Totally my own fault. I've stuck to my only drinking at weekends rule. However, Sunday night's couple of drinks in the pub ended far messier than intended. I blame good company and the fact that we buy drinks in rounds on totally losing track of my alcohol consumption. That, and the bottle of vodka that is now no longer in Emma's freezer...
So Monday turned into hangover day, as did Tuesday... And now I'm really paying for it because I have to make up for the missed training.
But it's not the end of the world. I hopefully won't make the same mistake again until after the marathon! Which will be made a lot easier by Lent beginning soon, when I'll be going alcohol free.
Training is a huge commitment, which I'm not sure I fully appreciated beforehand. It's not just the 30-60 minutes of exercise I now have to do each day. It's the lifestyle changes, the not staying out late with my friends, not accidentally getting drunk with those friends, ensuring I eat proper, healthy meals and many other things... It's a healthier lifestyle, granted, but it can be hard to stick to...
Time to Marathon: 2 months and 4 weeks
