Marathon training

Well Half-term is over so I have no excuse not to go out running. I think I am one of those unfortunate people who have to exercise in order to, at least, maintain my weight otherwise looking at food I seem to put weight on. It's quite depressing really getting on the scales only to discover the digits only move upwards not down so I have decided for the moment to relieve the scales of their job and use my clothes as a guide to whether I am putting on too much weight. So far so good.
Now that the kids are back in school I went running today - with cough and cold. I think there is a reason why your supposed to not exercise when not feeling 10% but still I went anyway. I decided to stop at work - not for a Big mac - to get my hours sorted for next and as i couldn't get them on the phone I thought I would run out that way. It was only a short run today which was good as I wasn't feeling great. I think also part of that is loss of fitness. Fitness is something that needs to be attained and cant be kept. We have to jeep working at it in order to maintain it. So having done not a lot of exercise in the past week or so I did rather feel it today. Still the training has started. 2.73 miles today, and some core muscles training at the end. Aerobics on Thursday which will be my cross-training and then hopefully get out on Sunday morning.
