Ain't no sunshine when I run...

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Monday 9th August

Went out for a short 2.5 km test run. Definite improvement, but still finding it much tougher than normal. This is usually just an easy warm up jog. Instead it was moderately difficult, and I came home covered in sweat and short of breath. Still, a noticeable improvement on last week. Don't think I'll be ready for the Olympics though. Guess I'll have to relinquish my spot after all.

Tonight was actually something of a cross training exercise as well; being Monday night, which is rubbish night around here, the run became a slalom course of rubbish bins littering my running track (ie footpath), and even occasionally a dodgem car/crash derby as half-crazed residents wheel their bins out to the kerb, making sure no idiotic runner deters them from their single-minded determination to get the bin out before the ad break is over. How sad life is, sometimes.....
