February Fighting Fit?

[El Gordo]

I was looking for a quick riposte to your modesty, but for some reason only inappropriate comments came to mind:

"You've talked the talk, now show you can walk the walk." Um no, not really what we want to see.

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Hmm, could be some undesirable connotations in there as well.

Anyway, I believe the fighting talk is worthy of praise, and the resulting display of guts (there I go again) will be all the more so.

Thanks for the encouragement, Dan.

I'm reasonably pleased with progress. I did manage the intervals and x-training and 7 miler, as planned. The intervals and 7 miler didn't have quite the intensity I might have expected a few weeks ago, but no matter. I was happy that they took place at all. It's important just to get back into the routine again, and the 7 miles was much stronger than Sunday's effort. It's good to be able to see progress so quickly. Had a rest day today, so may try my long run tomorrow -- depends on work. Failing that, I'll aim to get out and do something at least, if only for 40 minutes or so.
