Marathon sleeps to marathon plan

I'm back from holidays and finally over my jet lag after 3 days of feeling like the walking dead at work. I slept for nearly 12 hours last night and almost feel human again.

I managed to keep my training coasting along over the holiday. I fitted in a few runs, hikes and bike rides and even 2 gym sessions. If nothing else, it counterbalanced the massive amounts of food I was putting away and I actually came back a couple of pounds lighter. I tried my best to be healthy but had a few lapses and developed a new found love of peanut butter cups. Mmm.

The cupboards have been bare since we got back so I'm just about to head off to the supermarket to stock up on healthy provisions.  I'll need them because my 16-week marathon preparation plan kicks off in earnest on Monday...
