Whats with the weather?

Leaving for work this morning it snowed, pretty heavy snow flakes too. Heading out for lunch it was freezing (talks of -10 across Europe) but by the time I left work this afternoon it was raining. Puddles all the way up along Oxford St. towards the tube station. Has anyone seen 'The Day after Tomorrow?'

Not in the mood for getting wet I headed for the gym this evening and did a comfortable and dry 5 miles (55 mins).

Yesterday evening I ran outside in the cold. it can only be described as a rough 4 miles and I all but crawled home. Ok so that’s a slight exaggeration but there was no energy in the legs (48 mins)

I have been away for a few days, so missed out on my long run on Sunday. I'm not going to worry to much about it-hope to put in a few miles over next few days and have the reading 1/2 marathon on Reading. Although, now that I have run one marathon I'm actually beginning to get nervous about the next… Is this because I had no expectations for my 1st 1/2 marathon-just go out there and finish. This time I have a time to aim for and beat. Am I putting pressure on myself to beat my PB? (Oh I like the sound of PB :-)) The answer is maybe. But no I'm not going to go down that line, after all I have not been running very long, I've to take it easy get around and put in the miles (that’s what these few races are about) and if I do a nice time then that’s a plus. But getting around is the aim. Hope it does not rain.

Leon things I may have caught the bug because I'm running 2 1/2 marathons (with a weekend in between). It’s a nice thought, but I'm afraid I did it as a means of getting out there and forcing myself to clock up the miles. It’s all too easy to give up after ex amount of miles if you are going it along. But bring on a few thousand people and a finishing line then there is no way I'm bailing out. I guess it’s a physiological thing-but yeh if it works.
