Quiet week

I haven't said anything this week since weigh in. It's been a quiet week.  I've been on track with my food and busy at work. I'm looking forward to being off with TMM next week. We've no plans but it will just be nice to have no work to go to and be off together.

Actually, food wise, I was out with my gorgeous, funny cousin BB and her hubby CB last night. I'd pretty much saved most of my daily calories so I could have the mixed grill at the restaurant but changed my mind and had the fillet steak. Cooked to perfection, it was the best steak I've had in ages. And, while I love the mixed grill, and think it's worth every single calorie, this swap allowed me to have a slice of strawberry pavlova for afters. Good food, good craic and a manageable calorie deficit. What's not to love!

I went running last week, Wednesday I think, and a day or two later had pain in the top of my foot, along the top of the middle toes. I ran again on Monday regardless, and while the pain didn't really get worse, it certainly didn't lessen any. It scuppered my plans to run again on Wednesday and this morning. I want it to get better as I don't want to make it worse and then need even longer for recovery.  So I YouTubed KT tape ideas for that sort of pain and I've taped my foot up. So that's my right foot and my left knee. I swear, TMM thinks I'm held together with KT tape!

It's super important that I get back in to regular running now. I've been thinking of next May's marathon, which I'd need to be properly training for at the start of January.  But also, BikerBabe mentioned coming over to Belfast next year with her hubster for the Belfast Half Marathon.  It would be fab to do it with her, and I defo wouldn't want to hold her back. I think TMM and I will start our week off with a wee Parkrun in the morning. I can test out my foot (and knee! God, I'm falling apart and I'm not even 48 yet!) and it will be a second run in less than a week.
