Marathon training diary no2: Fighting the turkey

Today is my first day back at work after the Christmas/New Year break. I was under no illusion that the vacation would be an opportunity for serious training but I was determined to do a little to fight off the effects of nuts and beer. I managed to do three runs of about three miles each (with some 'efforts') and another run of about five miles. I have also drunk quite sparingly with New Year's Eve being the only real blow-out.

This week I am MK based so I hope to do at least two runs of five to seven miles. From next week I would like to alternate between shorter runs building pace and longer ones building stamina. I also need to come up with some dietary strategy for the coming months.
