It's Been a Looooonnnnggggg Week!

After starting the week all enthusiastic about getting stuck into some good hard training, things didn’t quite go to plan.  I usually work from home on a Wednesday so was planning on doing a good speed session down at The Street.  Unfortunately, I was asked to come into the office because we had a big project on and I had a lot of work to do to meet the client's deadline.  I usually leave the office at 3.30 (having started at 7.30) but on Wednesday I didn’t leave until after 6pm.  By the time I got home I was knackered and still had to take Ruby out and get tea ready, etc so I decided to postpone my run until the next day. 
Thursday turned out no better though and, again, I didn’t leave work until late and then I had to log back on once I got home and was working until 9pm so yet another run missed.
Today I was dying to get out but I knew that a speed session was now out of the question because I have neglected Ruby all week and she has barely been out so I decided to have a slow run with her instead. 
We just did our usual five mile route to the barn and pigeon tower.  It was one of those nights were running with a head torch was proving hard work because all I could see was my cold breath in front of my face.
Only just over ten miles so far this week so I'd better get the miles in over the weekend!  Should get a fair few in tomorrow as I'm supposed to be doing the 25 mile 'Baker's Dozen' but I haven't decided yet whether to do the entire thing or not.  We'll see...
Total distance - 5.1 miles
