Hey well, no not really dead, but a couple of weeks in "maintenance mode" - just enough running to keep the legs and spreadsheet ticking over but not real training as such.
Today I was lucky to run at all. Been feeling dead to the world all day and even fell asleep mid-arvo and missed
all of Rocky Ponting's last ever test innings. As penance I donned the running shoes anyhow and sloped off for an easy three-quarters of an hour or so. That did the trick; a few clicks in the banks and I'm feeling much more alive.
One big step forward however - I have definitely committed to the Canberra Marathon in April and also committed to raising some funds for JDRF Australia (the link is below if you're so inclined to throw some dosh at them). So a 16-week training program for same begins on New Year's Eve* ... luckily(??) I'm working both NYE and NYD, so not likely to be big boozy events for me this year anyhow.
But for the moment I am enjoying a couple of weeks gentle running. And trying not to eat and drink too much. Hmm. That side of the equation remains a little tricky.
Oh well...
Core on everyone!

Actually it starts on Christmas Eve ... must have been drunk when I wrote that.
