Marathon decision has been made.

Got up this morning and something has happened since earlier in the week. I felt positive about things. Maybe its because the sun has finally made an appearance! So I finally got to where my new Oakley Radar BMX Chrome Edition whilst doing a long run. I scanned the map and decided on a route, got ready and set off with the GPS on to measure the new loop. With a new list of tunes on the ipod I was enjoying the nice (yes you heard me - nice) weather. As I got to the last junction before heading back up towards home I had a check on the GPS, I was 9.4 miles in at an average of 6:30 per mile. I decided to push harder for the last few miles to try and lower the average and finished at 13 miles on the dot with an average of 6:25 for the total run. So at the end of the first week of training for 2011 I would say my base fitness isn't too bad. Back to work on Monday so the biking and swimming starts again, I think by Friday night I will be quite tired. So onto the Marathon decision.........................I'm going to give it a miss. Once I check the roster at work on Monday I will hopefully be able to enter the Clumber Classic Duathlon in March, I hope to carry the running form from last season and think I will go well in the duathlon.
