You're tracking well for your July half. Are you following a specific plan? Also, those deads and that run together? You're a tank!

Thanks! I found a kind of "couch to half marathon" plan online so have just followed that, it's a few shorter runs in the week and then a longer run at the weekend, gradually building up - a bit like a solid weights program I guess. I was originally going to deadlift today and then run tomorrow, but I'm taking my family out for dinner, plus I am working nights, and also tomorrow is going to be hot (for the UK) so I figured just get it over and done with today so I can enjoy tomorrow more!

Gotta support the old time grinders! You've done a fucking great job keeping up over tine
 
I messed up on today's run, which was meant to be 5 miles: I had come off a night shift, came home, had some eggs on toast and thought I'd be good to go for my run in a couple of hours' time. Set off for my run at a nice comfortable pace, and a mile in, I desperately needed the toilet. I managed to run 3 miles and then had to slowly and awkwardly walk the final 2 miles home, as I was going to have a rather unfortunate accident.

Luckily I made it home in time, disappointed that I had to bail out at the 3 mile mark, but I didn't really want to have to face what would have happened if I'd continued running!

Lesson learned regarding food timing, won't be doing that again!
