Ran for 30 mins at speed 11 over lunch. Pleased with that. Also cycled into college which is good. However, there is big rain now, so not looking forward to cycling back.

Went to the gym with a view of doing 2 hours on the treadmill. 45 minutes in, my hand presses the big red button. I know I could have gone further but I am worried about my mental stability.
Hmmmm …. What to do???

Yesterday was slow but for me it has always been more about the distance rather than the time. I do feel like I can notch-up the pace a bit though so will attempt to do some long slightly faster runs between now and the big day.
The main problem with yesterday's run is that my nipples are in a lot of pain today. I think I am going to need buy a pot of Vaseline for future runs.
Will give my legs a bit of a break today, and try and do a spin class (probably at the place where it is one person per cubicle). It is a short week this week because of the bank holiday and will be over indulging in too many drinks towards the back end (Silver's stag-do and my work leaving do).
