Other than that the 2014 training officially started on Saturday 4th with a 8.5km loop from the Paarl Mall. We dropped the car off for a wash which takes and hour, more than enough time to do a loop run. Monday morning was another 8.5km along the main road, Tuesday we snoozed the alarm because it was pouring with rain outside, Wednesday we forced ourselves up after missing Tuesday and the heavens open right as we started so we ran a quick 5km in torrential rains anyway! Thursday we snoozed again - anyone got any tips on our to get this early morning thing right? - but ended up going for another 5km after work, up and down a bunch of hills.
Early mornings are definitely the better option because then you are done for the day and when you get home after work you can just relax. We really need to work on that.
To end off the week we are supposed to be running to the Windmeul Market tomorrow, the long way around, about 24.4km. I'll let you know how that goes - we did the Winelands Half Marathon in November last year and then another random 30km route during December, so tomorrow should be alright. 
Dinners have been pretty good this week too, with great left overs for lunch. Jamie's 30minute meals are actually quite a hit in our house, this week was the fish with sundried tomatoes and mashy peas as well as the cheat's pizza on another night - both delicious. Crumbed chicken open sandwiches last night and I made lasagne for a birthday dinner on Wednesday, with a pavlova dessert. The lasagne might have been mince, but I hide a lot of veggies in there. So all in all, a lot of fruit and vegetable intake for us this week and a sneaky birthday champagne - but a good start I think.
If you have any meal plan ideas - please send them through.
So far so good... we'll have to see what the weekend holds.
Week's km - 27km
