Wedding Weekend

It's always tough to keep up with training when you've got something on at the weekend. Well, for the second one in a row, we were attending a friend's wedding. This time round, it was in Germany, adding a slight twist in the running route stakes.

Thank goodness for gmap-pedometer and it not being restricted to the environs of Kingston and Richmond. This week was "easy" week. I'm not just making that up. Every 3-4 weeks, you're advised to relax your training a little, down to a modest 20 miles in this case and not tackle the long Sunday run. The plan was for two 5 mile runs one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Saturday went well. I managed to get up before breakfast and get 5 miles in before indulging in a huge German style buffet breakfast for nearly 2 hours. Sunday didn't go so well and the couple of drinks I'd allowed myself, combined with two late nights on the trot, meant I didn't actually wake up until there was only 20 minutes of breakfast remaining. I made the hard decision to forgo the run and take on the buffet once more.

Back to training today as well as a quick physio session (thanks Sam!) to try and prevent me damaging my knee any further.
