Full of beans

I'm still loving my training (up early AGAIN today - thanks again, Laura, for your help and instilling some more enthusiasm in me!).  I have noticed, though, that once I've been through a work-out, my body screams for carbs (yes, more than usual).  I'm currently addicted to Sport Beans (Jelly Belly's special sporting sweeties) which boost energy and really aren't as sugary or as unhealthy as you might think - in fact, they're positively good for you.  Problem is, I'm scoffing them at such a rate I won't have any left for the 16th.  And also I fear they might form my staple diet for the next three months.

I am not a number

Except I am, and I'll be number 6330 on Sunday 16th September.  How exciting!

I'm loving my new work-out regime, which is puzzling but also good.  I even got up early on Tuesday so that I could go to the gym before work.  That's the first time I've done that since last year's Ashes, and then I only went to the gym because I couldn't bear to watch any more of the cricket. Breaking my exercise programme up into chunks keeps me from getting bored, and as Laura promised, spares my poor ruined ankle too much prolonged stress.

I've also got some gorgeous new running shoes courtesy of Puma, and I'm feeling like a proper runner now rather than an interloper.
