Cross training day - Cross training was dictated by circumstance today, with my sturdy old Ford Falcon chucking in the towel yesterday evening and requiring a tow truck in somewhat tragic circumstances. So today's daily commute was by necessity the bike, and then a longish walk this afternoon to collect the repaired vehicle. By the time the opportunity to do some weights came around I was too shagged to bother, and am now contemplating an evening in front of the box - Black Books, Doctor Who and Friday night football (Aussie Rules Footy, the real stuff
).
The other excitement today was acquiring a pair of Brooks Adrenalines for nearly
one third the regular price - in fact they were quite a bit cheaper than my regular, trusty and very well priced Brooks Vapors. Initial thoughts are that the Adrenalines are very nice indeed, and I'm faced with a dilemma - do I throw conventional wisdom to the wind and risk running my race on Sunday in them? I think not, but it
is tempting. Tomorrow is a rest day, so Sunday will be the first opportunity to give them a good workout. Still, I think I'll play it safe and stick with the tried and tested Vapors until next week.
Day 5: 30 mins bike, 45 mins walk.
