A fine, trouble-free run this morning to test out the calf and get some k's in before Sunday's race. The calf felt back to 95% so I went out confident but slowly at first, gradually building speed to around 10km race pace for the last quarter hour, and all felt fine.
Well, I say fine, but the sad truth is that the MLCMM bod is in pretty poor form after seven weeks of sloth and debauchery. I jumped on the super hi-tech scales this morning and my weight has ballooned out to its heaviest in over two years. Body fat, lean muscle, H2O, basal metabolic rate and BMI figures are all at similarly poor levels, so I really have my work cut out for me over the next three months as I get in shape for the P2P. This is going to be harder than I thought.
