I felt really slow getting up in the morning but fortunately the shower was fixed and I kind of needed it, thanks guys. My right foot still has a niggle.
A lady from Macmillan contacted me to ask if I got my pack and what time I might finish the marathon (so the organisers can place me somewhere at the start).
I printed off some more sponsorship forms and told work about the marathon project. I got a few useful tidbits of advice from a couple of people who have done a lot of gym work and know one or two things about eating right for exercising. Essentially, I need to eat more carbs and vary it a bit but eat them at the right time. I probably will try to eat pasta/potatoes during the daytime. So I can burn that off later in the day. I should also have protein crucially after training to repair and recover. Also I should have protein before I go to bed and when I get up because during sleep, you don't eat therefore you possibly don't recuperate as well and carbs will just settle in your body during sleep.
I didn't run but I did go for 25 minute walk with my housemate, who suggested that she'd like to do more walks. I actually normally do a 25 minute walk getting into work as well. I have a pair of orthopedic insoles that I bought ages ago but for some reason it didn't go down well with me. This time around it was ok. Maybe it was shoes I put it in last time allowed the insole to move and therefore push again the arches of my feet, which was uncomfortable.
