And I don't think you should worry about taking on a few calories over the Easter weekend. It's a long haul; these are wobbles on a generally upward curve.
Dead right, Dan! An enforced layoff by illness and a completely voluntary over-indulgence over Easter impacted not at all ... I must have been better behaved than I thought, as everything's looking fine... thank God.
No, I mean, yes. I jumped on the treadie yesterday for a testing tempo run just to make sure I was still on song, and managed a respectable 11km in good time, so I was more than happy with that, and this morning's weigh-in showed I am still trending in all the right directions in regard to weight, body mass, muscle mass etc etc, which was more than something of a surprise, I must say, but there you go. Further happiness was found in today's run, a 5km toughish hill climb, which was likewise completed in good time and feeling strong. All is well, it seems, in the MLCM camp.
Touch wood!
Bring on that race... I can hardly wait now.
