Extending myself.....

Friday was a recovery day, yesterday was a nice 6.2 mile standard which was comfortable if not Euphoric (like the previous blog!) and this time it was Brandon Flowers' "Flamingo" which was keeping me company.
Today though was the longest yet, 9.2 miles, two straight circuits of St Marys and all would have been well had it not been for a somewhat 'burbling' stomach. I'm hoping it was a somewhat larger than normal lunch (though I left more than the minimum 3 hours before running) and sticking to usual foods in the future will eliminate the problem. It's something I have encountered before and looking back on it, I also started with the Lucozade Sport on this run which may be a contributing factor, so I'll be drinking it during the week (in moderation) to get my body used to it.
 Finally, it's the end of week two of full on training and I'm bang on the plan. Mileage is ticking over, I haven't missed a session and most importantly, no injuries.
Having started easy training at the beginning of December, today I clocked up mile 103. In terms of transferring the mileage to my Virtual run from Lands End To Broadstairs it gets me on the outrun from Plymouth, having crossed the Tamar Bridge yesterday and visited 5 friends and 7 schools supported by "I-Can", the charity I am running London 2013 for.
Thankfully, a recovery day tomorrow.
