September 2013 - The Fear Mounts

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Some tremendous ground work there, MLCMMan, good on you.
I hope to catch up next week, though sat in the middle of a two week break from exercise I feel slothful and fat.

Yes, cheers Sweder, doubtless when you get going you'll make good any lost ground in no time. There's still a few weeks in which you can find some form, so stop messing around with your helicopters and hop to it.

I've a bad sort of run to report, as it happens, although given the conditions it wasn't exactly a disaster. After one of the dreaded night shifts, a fitful asleep and temperatures nudging 30C, I attempted one of my tempo sessions, but had to throw in the towel after just 6km. Apart from being tired and hot, I was shaking with fatigue (probably on account of the fact that my last meal was 15 hours prior), so I called it quits before I passed out and went instead for some sustenance, which was a whole lot more pleasant, it must be said.

I'm not too concerned - it would be have been easy to justify not running at all, so a solid half hour's work was fair enough.

And that's about it for today. Hmm.

6.0km 34mins.

YTD: 920.1km
