Running on empty

Monday, February 9. 2009

So, running at the weekend was a bit of a non-starter partly because of the weather and partly because I gave up and got really drunk instead.

It’s made me realise one of my main stumbling blocks in training is that I’m not a naturally organised person and am almost phobic of being hungry.

This makes it hard because I try to plan my runs so I havn’t eaten for two hours beforehand but then I have to make sure I’ve eaten enough in case I get hunger pangs on the way round.

I get really grumpy when I’m hungry so the only thing worse than running in the cold would be running in the cold when I’m marved.

Being chronically hungover made it even harder because it meant there was never a two-hour window since I’d last eaten.

All in all not a great success, but I am DEFINITELY going running tonight…unless it snows again.
