Mettle tested and found wanting.

Went for one run the whole week, felt tired and had to walk. I think the combination of too much food and wine and too many late nights and generally 'being on holiday' meant that running felt like a chore and therefore should be avaoided.

I've tried on various strategies to feel better about this slightly pathetic behaviour and am sticking with the theory that rest days are just as important as the training days.

Which means I have done a lot of very important work over the past week.

Hmm.
