March maundering.
A really tough run this evening. 45 minutes of hard slog, even though it was an "easy, gentle" run. For some reason I just wasn't up to it: had no energy, no stamina, but I ground it out. And the good news is that knees, shins and feet are all holding up pretty well. But I felt great afterwards, once I'd recovered that is. It could just be that my glycogen stores are depleted, so I'll probably do a mini-carbo loading Saturday night for my "long" run on Sunday. The longie is only 90 minutes at this stage, but after today's effort I'm not taking any chances. It has also been a helluva week, with the death of a friend and the imprisonment of another (sad, but true)... I'm not sure which event is the more shocking. Anyway, it takes the stuffing out of you, that sort of thing.
A little more positively, I dared to weigh myself today. From 85 kgs six months ago, I'm now down to 78kg, just 3 kilos short of my target, so I'm doing well, as this is the least I've weighed for quite some years now. I'm even going to have to buy some new running shorts a size smaller!
So all in all, the year's going pretty well for me. A long way to go before I'm race-ready, but I'm travelling well at this stage.
Adieu, mes amis.
