[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Wednesday 22nd

Week 3 of marathon training. Uh hmm. After two rest days, I went for a 5km run tonight after a very trying day. It was a bad run in that nothing really worked right. Sore legs, lack of rhythm, bad breathing etc., but posted a very reasonable time, and my HRM confirmed that my cardiovascular fitness is definitely increasing, as my HR was considerably lower this time. But my legs are not happy. They're insisting I look after them a bit better, and telling me that if I think they're going to run the scheduled 10km tomorrow then there's going to be tears and bitter disappointment. Well, we shall have to see.

The signs are there for better times and longer runs ahead however.

Yea!
