[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

The past two weeks has been an infelicitous battle with head colds, sore throats and chest infections. As a consequence, there has been no running other than a couple of quickly-abandoned attempts to see if I 'was any better'.

However this morning I did manage a run of sorts. A cautious seven kilometres at a modest pace and just a slight incline. I was pretty much done in at the end of it, but it's a start back on what must become a rapid path back to fitness. With the race less than three weeks away I am very much behind the eight-ball, but hopefully my residual fitness will emerge soon enough to at least get me up that mountain, although clearly any chance of a good time has now flown the coop.

Well, to quote the inimitable Sweder, let's just see how we get on, shall we?

7.0km 49:06 2% incline
