Hmm, update

Right, well yesterday, lets begin:

I went to the gym, after a little drag 'em around town, and all was set, I felt fantastic, my legs were fine, and I was full of energy. I did feel like i was all set to do the longest I've ran...ever!!

So, after a quick gym workout, I hit the treadmill, go at a nice steady pace, and it seems like can keep it going for ages, then........my right nipple starts hurting, this has happened before, so I try and ignore it and keep running, I get to 30 mins, and it gets worse, I think it's all going to be ok, so I keep going, then at about 40 mins, I look in the mirror and notice a red spot on my tshirt.

Dammit, I run to the changing room and I've got the bloodiest nipple in the world, I patch it up and go back out, but after a few mins, the plaster falls off and it starts bleeding again, so I decide to up the pace knowing full well I won't be able to continue for much longer. I manage to complete about 8 miles in 55 mins, so a good time, just wish I could have carried on for longer.

So, lesson learned, plasters/vaseline always when running now.

Today, I had work so I went for a run this morning, did 5 miles which was all I had time for, then I went to work. I feel quite rested now though, and I'm intending to have an early night ready for a long one tomorrow. If the weather's nice, I want to head down the canal, in the sunshine and take it all in. If not, I'll be at the gym slogging on the treadmill. Oh well.

More updates as they come, oh and I'm about to post a picture - in case you cared????
