Ill again

Double whammy of another cold and period pain.
Have decided to go to the gym tonight and run on the treadmill. That way I can stay out of the cold, have a bit of a steam afterwards, and be sure of the distance!
That is if I make it through the day and don't end up retreating to my bed.

Swear Word

I won't actually write the swear word in case it offends some of my readers!

I did a run today that was 3 miles according to the milometer on my bicycle. My pedometer said it was 3.6 miles. Which might mean I have been covering less distance than I thought.

Hopefully my milometer on my bicycle is wrong, although this seems more unlikely than the pedometer being wrong.

My brother in law has some kind of snazzy satellite navigation thing that he uses while mountain-biking that gives an accurate mileage. I'm going to see if I can borrow it to put my mind at rest.

The short run was hard work today. My feet ached all the way round and I felt so stiff. I am beginning to feel a little despondent but I will fight it!!

8 miles??

My pedometer fell open during my run. My the end of what I thought was 8 miles, it told me I had done 6.5 miles. But it took me 1 hour and 10 minutes so I must have done more than that, right?

I am quite worried about relying on my pedometer re. mileage. What if I am running less than I think I am? It will be a very nasty surprise on marathon day.

But I don't really know how else to check it as I am not convinced my bike milometer is right either. If it is, then I think my pedometer is definitely telling me I am going further than I really am.

It is all very worrying.
