a little too ambitious - and a lot of excuses

Hey guys!

So today our run was somewhat of an epic fail!!! we decided to challenge ourselves and run twice round Arthur's Seat for our 10km today, seeing as we've now done several 10km runs. Big mistake. I thought i'd include for you all our list of excuses for why it went so horribly wrong;

1) It was too hot
2) the Foodies Festival was on - very distracting
3) I (Clair) haven't run all week (yups, true story, kept falling asleep on sofa instead)
4) Shona drank half a bottle of wine last night, and 2 cups of coffee this morning - not hydrated enough
5) I didnt finish work til 5am this morning so hadnt had enough sleep and had sore feet from work

but really we're quite aware that the actual reason it all went tits up was that it was just too hard. We stupidly ran the other way round from usual thinking it would be easier. Big Mistake. Much Harder. So. lesson learnt. dont be so ambitious. We're going to do all our runs this week (Even me, i promise!) and plan a much more sensible route for our monster run next weekend.

Its a shame - we've been doing so well and achieved all our targets so far yet today was a total write-off. Oh well, onwards and upwards! (and maybe a glass of wine to cheer us up!!)

As always we're still looking for your support. you can see our fundraising progress and donate at http://www.justgiving.com/Clair-and-Shona-McAdam

Muchos love!
