RE: Dry July? No! Why?
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass.
U2 - Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of.
I had been looking forward to this morning's run, but dragged down by a boulder of sleeplessness, this was a real tough bugger. I spent the first half hour just wanting to stop, but I figured if I could just get through those first thirty minutes, things might pick up. And in truth, they did.
The plan was to run two and a half hours on the treadmill set at 2% incline. With the P2P now 16 weeks away, this seemed to me a good and appropriate way to start my programme and guage just where I'm at. And after the first half hour, I was pretty happy with the way it went ... until the last half hour, which was essentially a repeat of the first, but by then of course there was no way I was quitting. Funny, but this really is by and large a mental game, this endurance running.
Anyway I got through it - my toughest run this year, no doubt - and mighty pleased with the effort I am, as well.
Track du Jour: Well, running 22+ kilometres uphill, it has to be something. ... uplifting, eh?
22.42km, 2.5hrs, 2% incline
YTD: 830.7km
