May I Have This Dance?

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

A quick post before I disappear into the mountains for a couple of days...

A long slowie this morning with #1 son Chris ...

Took off in warm, sunny conditions intent on covering at least 24 kilometres - my last long slow one before the half mara race in two weeks time. One thing I've learned about mixing alcohol and distance running - the results are variable. I felt fine this morning despite a night on the turps yesterday, and got through the run pretty much OK, but then in the afternoon it all came crashing down on me and I actually felt drunk in the afternoon despite having consumed no alcohol for over 12 hours and running more than a half marathon in between. Learn this lesson kiddies: don't drink and run.

Anyway, a good long 'un today. Tough, hilly route, but in the bank. Now to sit back and think about what it means for the race.

OK I'll be without 'net access for a couple of days now, so I'll catch you all later on.

Ciao.
