Training diaries

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

I can scarcely believe I'm doing this... perhaps I shouldn't have had that last Heineken. My heart is palpitating at the thought, but I'll do it... having missed my first marathon objective (Melbourne in October - a total impossibility now) I will commit to my hometown marathon, Hobart on Jan 9 - so that's, what, about 22 weeks away, giving me 4 weeks of beer and chocolate before hitting the Hal Higdon special.

Andy, I know I can rely on you to give me extra special goading when I slacken off... so set me up log captain.

With immense trepidation,

MLC Man.
