RE: January 2015
Week 4 of 18


Finished off the week with a longish one at 0630 on Sunday. I was hoping for some frost but found the usual sludge fest. Regular readers will recall that I used to spend my long runs trudging round and round the same field. This time out I was hoping to reduce the tedium a bit by doing figure-8s between two adjacent fields. But the 50m or so path that joins them is the biggest swamp of all. So after traversing it once, I just stayed in my old field for 5 laps. Which was slippery enough, but not ankle deep. Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to a good wallow in filth, but I'm trying to run here, to prepare for a road marathon, and this stop-start-stumble-slip doesn't feel like good preparation. 

Still, mustn't grumble. I was out in the fresh air as the sun came up. And I must say, my joints are thanking me for all this grass work. 

Other point of note: long run has reached the point where it's longer than an episode of marathontalk. I like these little milestones.
