133 days

old news:  133 days until the marathon, so back in training, and putting miles in the bank in the event that we go sailing... which is my job.  so the event is a likely one.  2 months after last marathon, back up to 15 mile long runs, so pleased with this progress.   also off the painkillers.  my body has come to impress me. 

new news:  also delighted with the new frozen yogurt shop near the bottom of my street...  i can walk downhill until 2am to procure a fat free frozen yogurt treat with fresh fruit topping.   i've thought about it, and i've decided that this situation is ideal. 

i was meant to go scouting this morning 5am on a dawn patrol mission, however the first sound i heard after my alarm was the violent downpour of rain, so the fusspot in me assessed that the newport athletic club would make a reasonable and attractive alternative.   five years ago, i would have seized the opportunity to go slogging through the rain, but the prolific running doyenne that i've become turns up her nose at such opportunity.  also, i pay for the membership, so might as well use it.
