Jumpin' Januarys ... it's 2013 already!

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Thank you, gentlemen. I am indeed somewhat better already, so all is well in that department.

Today's run was a return to the treadmill for my speeed session. I upped the stakes a little this time, opting for 10x800m sprints at 4:53/km pace. Hard going, especially in humid conditions again, but I got through the workout feeling good, and with long warm-up and cool-down sections covered a respectable distance, which was necessary, as with only three runs possible this week covering the requisite 50km requires longer runs.

Only real problem I had was with chaffing - you think I'd have learned by now that humidity + cheap non-wicking running shorts + excessive sweat = bad chaffing. I've been rubbed raw in heinous places and may have to resort to some careful bandaging for my long run on Saturday.
