ice cream or running ???

thirstywork

Not been motivated since last June/July to train so going to start my training log here today.
Want to spend the remainder of the year getting my mileage back up.
regarding racing i have not got anything planned but would like to get
ready to have a track season racing 800m and 1500m.
Going to keep a food diary/sleep/work ect as they all have a role to play in training and adjusting training to suit.

ice cream

Best of luck thirsty. I'll be following this one as I too plan to have a good track season in paticular 800-1500 after hopefully coming of a good marathon base, so it might be a good idea for me to follow a more experienced fellow like yourself. Don't forget to give me a shout for a few runs.
