I have struggled with keeping my runs up over the last couple of weeks. My achilles heel is playing up and there are days when its painful to walk let alone try and run on it. This is really frustrating when the Huntly Half Marathon is just a few weeks away. While I have been struggling to pound the pavements I've also been struggling to resist the cookie! Subway is close to work and even closer to home and I have a fatal attraction to their chocolate chip cookies. Well today I went for a run up Mt Eden and then towards the city before heading home. The heel was sore at first, loosened up and felt ok and then began to hurt again on the homeward stretch. The downside of the last couple of weeks is that my fitness feels like its taken a backward step, and those darn cookies have taken over my body! As I got home today I became aware that I was sweating way more than usual. Hopefully I was sweating out those cookies once and for all lol. So here's hoping I can get back on track with the running, find the resolve needed to JUST SAY NO to the cookies and survive the 1/2 marathon.....and if I can I might just celebrate with a roast chicken wrap from Subway (and only 1 cookie)
