Feb flab - more or less?

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Following the less is more principle, I have been training six days per week, but only running short distances. I am however doing a gym session each day as well, and it's all coming together nicely (I nearly said "working out" rather well - sooo glad I didn't)

I've also taken the plunge back into cycledom. I live 5km from work, and while it would be an ideal run, two 5km runs per day is logistically a headache, but it's an easy cycle, especially as there's a cycle path most of the way. Every little bit helps. And slowly, the weight is coming off. For the first time in years I feel my "ideal" weight target is within the realms of possibility. Just need to get there slow and steady. It only takes one injury to throw me off the scent and reverse all my good work. But so far, so good.

Still not sure about targetting a race. For the moment I'll just keep on with what I'm doing. There's not that many races in my part of the world anyhow, and only one marathon/half marathon (which is in January) so any major race will require a deal of travel. A trip to Europe 2009/2010 is a little more likely however, and as we might have to travel during our summer/northern winter, Almeria 2010 is looking a real possibility.

More news as it comes to foot.
