Out at 0630 for 12.2 km (just over 7.5 miles).
Out early (before dawn and in the rain) because DH is running a half today so I needed to be back before he left to hand over the GPS. Back to bacon butties, good coffee, and the next installment of a fanfic that I'm really enjoying :)
Feeling strong right now - increasing my distance, running three times a week, and hitting the gym in my lunch hour to work on my upper body strength is making me feel good physically and very positive mentally. The stated aim is to be in good condition when Fastnet training starts in the Spring (given that I may be the only woman on the crew, being in shape is kind of important to me), but actually I'm also remembering how working out is something I do actually enjoy.
A sidenote: I was glad to find that the guys at the gym who worked out my program actually listened to what I was there for, instead of going into 'oh look, another woman who obviously is doing this to lose weight and look good' mode (which, sadly, I've come across more than once at gyms before).
Right, off to shower and go fetch DS from his sleepover.
