A bit of a funny day on Sunday! Got up early and ran 4-and-a-half miles. The benefits of running before breakfast are great - your metabolism stays high all day and because you've not eaten in over 8 hours your body burns stored energy - IE fat - rather than food.
Problem is, the downside is that because you're running on empty, with no fuel available, it's hard work! I got home knackered and my time wasn't that quick either. That said, it was still a better average speed than I've been achieving!
I'm also practising being Welsh, because England are so crap at rugby at the moment that I don't want to be English on a rugby front! That in itself is hard and I've still not got to grips with England being unable to win. It's kind of too deep-seated, expecting England to win every time they play. Next weekend will be a tough one - Wales v England in Cardiff. It's going to be difficult trying not to be English and disappointed as Wales shaft us (them?).
