While reading with increasing enthuasiasm of my fellow RCers efforts to get into shape for forthcoming races, and their dreams of greater goals and glory ahead, my own running has screeched to a halt as a lingering chest infection puts all thoughts of ... well,
anything strenuous at all on the back burner.
Additionally, tomorrow I start a spell of jury duty, further eating into my free time and generally disrupting my schedules, such as they are.
None-the-less I'm getting great enjoyment reading everyone's postings here, not the least of them EG's, and am itching to get back out there myself, especially as the weather warms up here as we head into another glorious Aussie summer.
Further motivation comes from the World Masters' Games, being held this week here at Olympic Park in Sydney; the train stations in the mornings being full of incredibly fit-looking
older people. I had toyed with the idea of entering this myself (it being open to all comers), but am glad now that I didn't, given that the chances of me making it once around the track at the moment without raising the heart rates of watching paramedics, are remote.
Still, I'm confident that within a few days I'll be rid of this wretched lurgi and will be back out there hitting the pavements and trails and maybe on occasion the treadmill too.
Meanwhile, the rest of you - keep posting, please, it's immensely interesting and tremendous fun reading everyone's exploits, not the least of them the respective training of the rapidly approaching clash of the Titans: SP -v- EG at the Crawley 10. It's going to be a ripper duel!
MLCM,
Frustrated of Phlegmville.
