Saturday night dread all over again!

First long (for me) run mapped - 6 miles, well almost 6.5 but without moving the house I couldn't make it any more precise!

Looks a little scary, doesn't matter how far you are going it's always further than you think it should be when you see the blue line on the map. It takes me down roads I said good-bye to last April and vowed I would only ever go down them again in the car. I remember ever inch and remember most of the landmarks by how sick I felt the last time I passed them. Maybe if I start with a positive head I can make it all a little easier this time - here's hoping.

Even Dancing on Ice is back on the TV tomorrow, I can't see the advert for that or hear the music without feeling nauseous, it was a rare Sunday evening last year when I watched it without feeling terribly ill, usually by the results programme I was just begining to think about eating again!.

I will be positive this year, evidently there is a 20 minute window when you stop running when you have to eat in order to prevent the sickness, trouble is it's the last thing you want to do even if you aren't in the loo throwing up. I must remember to make a sandwich to have ready as I come through the door.

Anyway, I will be back with my first 'long run' report.
