Broke the schedule, Half-Term impact, and Back to basics

This morning I was meant to be doing an easy effort six miler, final one in this week's three day consecutive mid-week six mile runs, but a combination of not being able to get to bed early this week and the effort applied in yesterday's run, has left me wiped out today.
It sounds quite negative but this week's schedule has no Saturday run, so I am bumping today's run to tomorrow where as I am back at work for the final day of the week, I plan to get up at 5am-ish as normal, and drive to work car park for when it opens at 6am, and then (already in my running gear) I will do an easy run down to Whitlingham Broad and back - I will still have Saturday to recover and ready myself for the marathon distance on Sunday.

Half-term has meant the usual bedtime routine for my daughter goes out of the window, and I am then not getting enough sleep - I happily slept through to 8.30am today, and I will deliberately do the same on Saturday.

I also think another reason for the lethargy is the recent allowing myself to snack on very unhealthy foods - I do need to eat enough calories but I also need to make sure they are good calories.
Given the distances being run on Sundays, I will break this rule as we should all have a reward but again there should be a focus on good or good-ish calories.
