Oh yes viewers, this is no joke. I kicked the month off in unusual style for MLC Man by getting up early and having a long, easy pre-breakfast run.
This is rare for me, but my whining, complaining body coped really well, and together we completed 13 comfortable kilometres, which rounded out a 28km week very nicely.
Next week the target is 30km, and the following week is a step-back week, after which I'll reassess knees and shins and things, and take a serious look at my running goals for the year. It'll still be a long slow haul, but I'm seven weeks into my new schedule now and I'm making good progress and doing so virtually pain-free, so the old injuries are being nicely held in check.
Yes, April is definitely going to be a good month.
Track
du jour for this morning's run was actually a tie between:
Supermode's
Tell Me Why, for asking the perennial question at a pertinent time (this is a great running song at any time, but particularly good when you're in a bad patch), and;
Van Halen's
Panama, for bringing me home fast and in fine style.
A beaut start to the month.
Audacious April.
