Training Update Tuesday: Week 10 Already!

So suddenly it's Week 10. And suddenly it's Tuesday again.
We're well over half way into this Marathon Mission now and time is passing increasingly quickly (except when I'm doing the speed runs and having to be 'on it' for 12 minutes at a time. Time passes very slowly then)

And what happened to the week in between Week 9 and Week 10, Sarah? I hear you ask. Well, I'll tell ya. It happened all right. It happened in a blur of running and birthday celebrations. 

Is it normal to celebrate one's 37th birthday by running 17 miles and enjoying it, apart from maybe the last two miles, which seemed to be run on robot legs? 

Birthdays are fabulous. Officially. My overwhelmingly magical friends clubbed together in secret cahoots and got me a Garmin 405 GPS birthday watch. 
Which means that when I'm out running now, I'll have data. Info. Facts. At my fingertips. Or on my wrist.
I'll know how fast, how far and how many calories it's cost me. And I can wirelessly transmit that info to my computer and have it do fancy things with it. 

Not sure it'll make me a cuppa or run me a bath when I get in, but it seems to do pretty much everything else.

And it also means, I have the best friends ever. Thanks guys ;o)
